25 Festive Christmas Tree-Inspired Wedding Ideas

There's a reason Christmas trees are popular well before and after Christmas. The decorated plants prevail from the time just after Thanksgiving up until New Year's Day, mostly due to the emotions they evoke. Christmas trees are often sentimental, especially when decorated with meaningful ornaments, or when present at family gatherings year after year. They also inspire excitement and wonder, as we anxiously await opening the gifts stored beneath them.

Aside from their emotional elements, Christmas trees are just plain pretty, and can even be awe-inspiring when they're tall and festive enough. The options are nearly endless when it comes to adorning them, and when they're real, their good looks are complemented by their lovely scents.
