The magic of the holiday season extends beyond twinkling lights and the scent of pine
needles. For couples looking to add an extra layer of enchantment to their special day, a
holiday wedding offers the perfect blend of romance and festive cheer. In this blog, we'll
explore the 5 top trends that are transforming holiday weddings into unforgettable
celebrations. At Ocala Estate, we have the perfect backdrop for any style occasion
during the Holiday Season.
Holiday Themes
One of the exciting elements of hosting a holiday wedding during the winter season is
the opportunity for festive holiday wedding themes. Whether stepping into a world of
whimsical elegance by embracing the Winter Wonderland theme, incorporating a
classical woodland wedding motif, or a gesture towards the timeless Red and Green
composition, Holiday weddings always spark inspiration for a plethora of design options
for couples. Picture your chosen venue adorned with beautiful white flowers, accented
with silver and white elements, and a touch of twinkling fairy lights. This breathtaking
theme provides a timeless and enchanting backdrop for saying "I do," creating a
magical ambiance that captivates both you and your guests.
Festive Color Palettes
Move over traditional whites and creams— modern holiday weddings are embracing rich
and bold color palettes. Deep burgundies, emerald greens, and royal blues are
becoming popular choices, infusing warmth and vibrancy into the winter landscape.
Consider incorporating metallic accents like gold or silver to add a touch of glamour and
sophistication to your color scheme. Your color palette should reflect you as a couple
and enhance the vision you have for this special day. Don’t be afraid to fuse the old
with the new to customize the wedding design of your dreams.
Cozy and Intimate Settings
In the spirit of the holidays, couples are opting for more intimate and cozy settings for
their weddings. Think roaring fireplaces, plush blankets, and warm candlelight. Smaller
guest lists create a sense of closeness, allowing everyone to share in the warmth and
joy of the season. Consider venues like charming lodges, outdoor areas with covered or
enclosed spaces, or even intimate family homes to capture the essence of a festive
celebration. The heated Grand Pavilion at Ocala Estate offers plenty of room for an
intimate wedding ceremony and reception under one roof, allowing you to still enjoy the
crisp fresh air.
Festive Food and Drink
Take your guests on a culinary journey with a cheerful menu that captures the flavors of
the season. From spiced cocktails to hearty winter fare, infuse your wedding reception
with the delicious essence of the holidays. Consider signature drinks like mulled wine or
hot chocolate bars, and incorporate seasonal ingredients into your menu for a feast that
delights the senses. To help simplify your wedding planning experience, Ocala Estate
offers an all-inclusive experience with custom catering that will satisfy your holiday
desires.
Personalized Winter Wedding Attire
Step away from the traditional wedding attire and embrace the beauty of winter-
inspired fashion. Consider long-sleeved gowns, velvet accessories, or even a chic faux
fur stole to keep warm in style. Grooms can experiment with richer, deeper colors and
unique textures that complement the season's charm. This is an opportune time to
infuse some vintage pieces in your wardrobe to enhance the personalized look you are
hoping for.
As you embark on the journey of planning your holiday wedding, let these trends
inspire you to create a celebration that is uniquely yours. From the decor to the attire,
infuse the magic of the season into every detail, making your wedding day a memorable
and joyous occasion for both you and your loved ones. Embrace the festive love and let
your holiday wedding shine as a beacon of warmth and happiness during the most
wonderful time of the year. Consider allowing Ocala Estate to host your winter wedding
wonderland in 2024.
