Advice for newlyweds
The main advice given to young people who decide to get married on the eve of the New Year is to organize a gala event before the 20th. This is a life position - New Year’s corporate parties are coming, booking a cafe or restaurant will be difficult, unrealistic. Once you have booked, start organizing the event.
A restaurant or cafe, the choice of the newlyweds is not so important - the venue for the celebration should correspond to the preferences of the newlyweds and be able to accommodate the guests. A photo is required - a session in nature, reminiscent of a real fairy tale. This is what many people who marry in winter say.
Speaking about scenarios for holding a ceremony in winter - a traditional celebration, often the choice falls on a folk-style celebration. Don't discount fairy tales - the Snow Queen or Morozko, or maybe the Nutcracker. If you are unable to come up with a version of the scenario yourself, it is enough to invite and entrust this issue to experienced animators and the organizer of the celebration, the toastmaster.
Undoubtedly, every girl - a bride - dreams of being the most beautiful, but since it is winter outside, sub-zero temperatures should not be discounted. It is better to choose a dress from dense fabrics, not silk, chiffon, on top - choose the optimal one, throw on a sheepskin coat. Be sure to complement a traditional white outfit with bright accessories - never blend in with the snow on a white background. Just add bright ribbons and flowers to the bride's bouquet.
According to statistics, in recent years, many brides choose not white, but blue, burgundy, even pink or red. This will allow you to stand out against the white background of snowy nature; the main thing is to choose a bouquet or other accessory associated with the winter months. And the groom’s suit should not contradict the image of the bride. Of course, a crimson jacket is no longer bad manners, but this issue should be agreed upon by young people.
To summarize, we can say that for many, a wedding ceremony on the eve of the New Year is a test; few dare to do it. But if your choice falls on December, you will win in many ways, so don’t doubt it. With a little effort, it will become the most memorable event in your life.
December wedding: favorable and lucky days
If you look at it from the perspective of organizing a holiday, it is better, of course, to plan a banquet and wedding ceremony for the beginning of the month. After December 20, New Year's corporate parties begin to be held, and finding a suitable banquet hall, restaurant or cozy cafe will be more problematic. And professional event organizers will be involved in such events.
Definitely, the workload of civil registry offices will be several times lower in December. Ordering on-site painting or agreeing on a suitable date for you will not be difficult. But the enthusiastic exclamations about the lack of demand for stylists, makeup artists, florists, and photographers should not be believed. Especially when it comes to a wedding in the second half of December.
Therefore, you will have to devote no less time to organizational nuances than in summer or autumn. And it’s better to choose a good day for a wedding in December in advance, and not at the last moment, in the hope of exclusivity of your own idea of holding a wedding before the New Year.
As for recommendations for the lunar calendar, December 1 and December 31 are considered favorable in 2021. A family born these days will easily overcome any difficulties and will be really strong and durable.
The dates 5, 11, 15, 17 and 20 December are also considered successful for getting married in December. These days you should get married if you want a romantic and tender relationship.
But it’s better not to plan a wedding on December 4, 14, 22, 29. These are not the best dates to get married. Astrologers even say that such marriages are short-lived, and the feelings of the spouses will quickly cool down.
Don't forget that the Nativity Fast falls in December. Therefore, when asked about a wedding in Lent, whether it is possible to have a wedding in December, the church clearly gives a negative answer.
Of course, the registry office will not refuse to register you, but you will have to forget about the wedding. If you adhere to church canons, then it is better to still have time to get married and hold the wedding before November 28, or already postpone the wedding ceremony to January after Christmas.
Advantages and disadvantages of holding a ceremony these days
December is the month before the New Year, filled with a feeling of magic and the expectation of a miracle, which creates a special atmosphere at a December wedding. The advantage of getting married this winter month is that registry offices are not as busy as at other times, so it is easier to choose any day you want.
However, at the end of the year it is difficult to avoid large financial expenses. Corporate parties and other New Year’s events are starting, so it’s difficult to book a place you like for a wedding banquet, and even if you do, renting a restaurant, cafe or other establishment can be quite expensive.
Important. It is impossible to get married in December - the Nativity Fast begins on November 28 and lasts until January 6. If the official marriage took place in December, then the wedding can only take place in January, after Christmas.
Wedding in December - folk signs
What do folk omens promise to those lucky ones who still decided to have their wedding in December?
Despite church prohibitions, popular rumor promises a happy, long marriage. The newlyweds will not experience any hardships throughout their entire life together, and affairs in love, family, and business will go quite well.
Strong frosts especially emphasize the strength of relationships. If there is severe frost on the wedding day, the relationship between the newlyweds will definitely be strong and faithful. It’s even better if there are frosts for several days, including the wedding day.
But sudden frosts on the wedding day after a thaw promise a passionate and ardent relationship.
Snow begins to fall towards prosperity and wealth. A warm, calm day foreshadows a life filled with interesting events. And even rain in December is a wonderful omen for a wedding. This is a clear sign of a prosperous and bright destiny.
Unstable weather is considered not a very good omen. When the weather changes several times during the day, life for the young will resemble a roller coaster. You should not expect stability and tranquility in such a family.
There are also quite unusual signs. So, they say that a stocking torn at a wedding promises a quick addition to the family. And even the sex of the child, in accordance with the signs, can be easily determined by the appearance of the arrow. Smooth and neat promises a girl, and when there are several of them, it will be a boy.
Wedding in December: ideas
Neither severe frosts nor the grins of skeptics will interfere with an original wedding in December. And there are plenty of ideas for organizing an unforgettable celebration at the beginning of winter.
Weddings in winter style will always be relevant. Choose a frosty color such as blue, white or blue.
A wedding in color is one of the good ideas for a holiday in December. A wedding in blue flowers is an original and unusual solution for December.
Themed parties are also good. You can choose the theme of a winter fairy tale. Why not use the plot of everyone’s favorite fairy tales “The Twelve Months”, “The Snow Queen”, “The Nutcracker”.
Themed weddings are a fashion trend that is not losing its relevance. But you will also have to work hard on creating images, choosing accessories and on the wedding ceremony script.
And of course, the New Year theme will be relevant. Especially when the painting is planned for dates very close to the end of the year. Why not have a wedding in New Year's costumes or come up with an interesting New Year's story.
But even when a traditional wedding without a theme or color is planned, feel free to use any winter and New Year’s accessories. Thanks to the use of snowflakes and icicles, snowmen and Christmas trees, pine cones and candles, garlands and Christmas tree decorations, tinsel and sparklers, the wedding will acquire individuality.
So a wedding in December is great. And even snow and blizzards give such a holiday a special charm.
Ideas and scenarios
A popular style of holding a December wedding is a wedding in Russian folk style, held on a grand scale and with fun. What could be better than riding a horse-drawn sleigh to the sounds of a cheerful accordion? Dress up guests as mummers, drink tea from a samovar or other warming drinks with bagels and pancakes right on the street... If you swing even wider, you can even invite a trained bear and gypsies! And after that, move indoors and spend the rest of the evening in the warmth.
Another scenario is a winter fairy tale. As a basis, you can take any story where the action takes place on New Year's Eve, for example, “Sleeping Beauty,” “Morozko,” or “The Nutcracker.” Whether the bride appears in the image of the Snow Maiden or the Snow Queen, the holiday program will be inextricably linked with her role. The Snow Maiden can marry a groom dressed as Father Frost, the cold heart of the Snow Queen will melt her betrothed, and all this will happen in winter scenery with fir trees, cones, icicles...
Whatever scenario the young people choose, it is important to remember that the main guarantee of a good holiday is the good mood of everyone present!
