It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeeaaar...your wedding day, and Christmas, obvs! If you're choosing to get married during the festive period, it's always fun to include some Christmassy elements during your day, but whilst decor might seem like an obvious place to include a sprinkling of Christmas, you could also look at incorporating some Christmas music.
For some people the words 'Christmas music' and 'wedding' do not go together, especially if you feel like it's cheesy, or overplayed, but there are so many different versions of gorgeous Christmas songs out there, you may not even realise that they could be the perfect song for you to walk down the aisle to!
Somewhere Only We Know - Lily Allen
Although not neccessarily the first song that comes to mind when you say Christmas, it's use in the 2013 John Lewis Christmas advert has solidified it's place in Christmas music, giving lush vocals and a beautiful music arrangement - definitely a contender for walking down the aisle.
I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm - Rod Stewart
This is more of a wintery classic, but the lyrics are filled with romantic imagery. As a bonus, there are so many different versions of this available, that you could find a style to suit you!
Glittery - Kacey Musgraves & Troye Sivan
This is for the Country Pop fans, taking what Kacey Musgraves does best, and adding a sprinkle of Christmas. If this one doesn't float your boat, Kacey has many other Christmas songs that are stunning.
All I Want For Christmas Is You - Ingrid Michaelson & Leslie Odom Jr
We're all used to hearing Mariah's iconic "iiIiiiIiii' at this time of year, but when you really strip this song back, the lyrics are gorgeous, and so fitting if you're choosing to get married at Christmas. This version will definitely get your guests tearing up for your entrance.
Merry Xmas Everyone - Robbie Williams & Jamie Cullum
An 80s Christmas tune, but make it swing! Perfect for if you like a big entrance, or even for adding a touch of swing during your ceremony exit.
The Power Of Love - Gabrielle Aplin
Another John Lewis classic, and one that actually has become very popular recently for weddings, sometimes we need reminding of the classics.
Christmas Isn't Christmas - Dan + Shay
Dan + Shay know how to write songs perfect for soundtracking your wedding day, and their Christmas offerings are just as beautiful. Unknown by most, making it an unique choice for your wintery wedding day.
Love Is Christmas - Sara Bareilles
A beautiful love song with all the Christmassy lyrics, but that gorgeous piano arrangement that Sara Bareilles is known for. An emotional song for either your ceremony, or first dance - perfectly encapsulating that feeling of being in love at Christmas.
Kissin' In The Cold - JP Saxe & Julia Michaels
Another gorgeous, relatively unknown Christmas ballad, about being with the one you love through thick and thin, mirroring what you'll be saying in your vows!
Hopefully this has helped to give you some inspiration for your magical festive wedding day, are there any songs you think we should've included? Let us know!
