Planning a wedding can be a daunting task and is something that you need to tackle together.

Choose a cocktail style with bar tables and casual dining, no need for the formal sit down - this will make your guests feel more relaxed in a beach environment and a great way to get your guests to mingle! There are many wedding venues across Australia than can offer a cocktail style wedding, for example, we have heard raving reviews about All Smiles for a wedding in Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula - check their website for ideas ...

Ideas for a Wedding in Australia at Christmas!

The Perfect Gift this Christmas ...

The festive season is nearly upon us and what better time of year to bring your family and friends together than at Christmas! If this is a once a year event for you, where everyone comes to one place to enjoy some great food, have a few drinks and celebrate til the early hours then why not throw in a wedding for good measure!

Christmas wedding in the sun...

There are so many fantastic venues and receptions for whatever style of Christmas wedding you choose and with December being the height of summer you will find some beautiful weather all across Australia. But make sure that you plan ahead … because Australia is so large the weather can vary dramatically from place to place, with the tropical regions in the far north offering a wet and dry season – the wet season lasts for about 6 months between Dec-Mar so don’t forget your umbrella if you’re heading up that way.

Be sure to consider some of the more temperate regions of Australia for your destination wedding, these can be found in the southern areas and most parts of the southern east-coast. These areas can be quite changeable with an average of around 30 degrees in the summer months, perfect for a beach wedding or garden ceremony.

For those of you without kids don’t forget that the summer holiday for schools also falls at this time and so places can be very busy and will get booked up quickly – so if you have your heart set on a particular wedding venue or resort then best to get planning well in advance!

Christmas Wedding Dress...

Once you have your venue booked and are prepared for the type of weather you can expect in that particular region then you can start the exciting part of choosing your Wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses (if you are having any). Depending on location you may be heading form somewhere scorching hot so consider light fabrics with a few layers and go for thongs or sandals so that you can be cool and relax into your big day. If you are worried about tropical weather adding some frizz and ruining your wedding hairstyle then it is probably best to avoid North Queensland.

If you are a fair-weather bride and heading for southern parts of Australia then you can go for some slightly heavier materials in your wedding dress and add in a few more layers for the perfect look - you should remember that these temperate areas can also be quite unpredictable so you might want to consider a bolero as a backup option just in case the evening turns cool.

Xmas Wedding Invitations...

So you have your date arranged, your venue booked and have started thinking about your wedding dress. Now you should make a start with inviting some guests! Seasonal wedding invitations would be great for this, use festive green and reds to re-enforce your Christmas wedding theme and be sure to send the wedding invitations and save the dates well in advance as this can be a busy time of year for most! Consider using magnets or stubby holders as a quirky invite that your guests will certainly not throw away!

Festive favors and gift ideas ...

Decorate your wedding ceremony with wreaths and bows that reflect the season's colours and be sure to arrange a wedding cake that doubles up as a Christmas cake, use traditional ingredients so that everyone gets the best of both worlds. If you are having a sit down meal at your reception then include all of the crimbo favourites like roast turkey and cranberry sauce with all the trimmings followed by plum pudding and brandy custard! Don't forget your table decorations and Christmas crackers along with your bonbonniere doubling up as a Christmas gift.

You can design your Coolaz Christmas wedding stubby holders to be a personalised gift for each of your guests, add each individual guest name for a truly unique idea and a special present for sharing their Christmas with you on your special day! Plus they will double up as a place name, the perfect solution for planning your seating arrangements.

Seasonal music and games...

Top the whole event off with some festive wedding songs on your playlist to get everyone in the mood! Maybe even throw in some Christmas games to get some real camaraderie and festive cheer happening around each of the guest tables! You could even include a quiz on your coolers for a bit of extra fun! Top the whole event off with some festive wedding songs on your playlist to get everyone in the mood!

Colour Themes For Your Wedding!

Put your best foot forward with your wedding pans and leap into 2013 knowing what’s hot and what’s not! Colours and trends are forever changing and it is hard to keep up with the fashions or to steer away from them in order to make your wedding day unique and memorable.

It is likely that you will have journeyed from one bridal store to another, collecting ideas for your wedding stationery, bomboniere, accessories and your bridal wear! Wedding colour combinations are of course a matter of preference and each couple will more than likely have a colour scheme that includes tones and shades that reflect their own personalities.

Here are a couple of the latest fashions hitting the wedding industry in 2013 …

Enticing Tangerine and Pink

Get the orange juice flowing with this exciting combination of tangerine and pink! From your wedding flowers to bridesmaid dresses there are so many ways that you can bring this colour into your theme, whether you go for subtle hints and the occasional drop of colour or go all out and make yours a pink and tangerine summer celebration that will certainly brighten everyone’s day!

Choose from orange roses and gerberas and red carnations in your bouquet, or go for a paper flower version in the brightest materials you can get your hands on. Don’t forget to add ribbons to your chairs and even wrap around your guest book, even the smallest detail will make for the perfect orange and pink delight!

Here is our wedding stubby holder suggestion;

Perfectly Pale Pink & Pewter Grey

This match of dusky colours will add a certain element of chic to your wedding. You can carry the theme from your wedding invitations through to your wedding gifts and bonbonierre ideas.

Rest assured that this understated combination will be a hit with any guest and more importantly these shades tend to suit most skin tones and so you shouldn’t have any trouble dressing your bridal party in matching outfits.

Beautiful Blue Willow

The willow pattern is a very well known, elaborate pattern used on ceramic kitchenware, namely dinner plates and bone china cups and saucers.

This theme can be used in several ways to give the desired effect – in winter teamed with some dark and blues this can add a feeling of warmth and on a summers day against a rustic woodland setting this might give a feeling of outdoor picnic, light and bright or can even be matched with a seaside theme for a truly unique wedding idea.

One Day Over the Rainbow

If you can’t settle on a single colour for your theme or even a couple of colours then why not go for a rainbow creation!? You could go for a hint of colour by keeping things plain like Black dresses for bridesmaids and then jazzing them up with funky rainbow accessories! Each girl could represent a different colour and the bride could have her favourite in her bouquet or a bright pair of shoes peeping out from under her wedding gown!

For your bombonierre ideas you could go for some branded products that are personalised with the bride and groom names in as many colours as you fancy, Coolaz stubby holders offer a range of designs for their personalized stubby holders where you can have a mixture of colours and even in dividual guest names to make a truly unique gift idea for all of your guests.

You can also add a splash of colour to your white wedding cakes and incorporate a multi coloured array of invitations, stickers, other stationery and continue each theme throughout all of your wedding decorations.
