Holiday Themed Wedding Invitations Guaranteed to Bring Joy

Let's be honest, we ADORE holiday-themed winter weddings. The holidays are a time dedicated to family gatherings, feasts, staying warm by the fire, and slowing down - quite literally the perfect setting for celebrating love.  This festive theme also sets the stage for a diverse array of color palettes and accents to make your special day stand out from the crowd. Think pinecones and eucalyptus, twinkling starry night, and mistletoe!

Let's take a look at some of our favorite ways to incorporate that holiday cheer into the most beautiful and joyful wedding invitations.

One of our favorite things about winter weddings is that they create the perfect backdrop for a dark and moody design inspiration. Combine charcoal grey or a deep olive stationary with botanical touches for a delightful mix of trendy yet romantic.
