As days become longer, and our evenings become hazy and hot with drawn out sunsets, we all buzz with the excitement of a new Christmas season. We swap cozy sweaters for colourful dresses, vibrant fruits abound, and champagne bottles pop as we celebrate the closing of another year and the beginning of the Christmas season.

At Dancing & Dessert we think it’s the perfect back drop to a festively themed wedding and wanted to share with the wonderful readers of Polka Dot Bride some of our absolute fave Aussie Christmas wedding ideas.

Wreaths

Wreaths are synonymous with Christmas and can be used in so many ways – hung over the table, turned oversized and used as a ceremony backdrop, or used sweetly as napkin rings.

Mistletoe

Hang a generous bunch of mistletoe in a prominent place at your reception or during cocktail hour, a wonderful symbol of love and romance as well as a perfect photo opportunity for you and your guests.
