Happy July All! I’m still in awe that we’re in the SEVENTH month of 2013! Can you say “cray-cray?!” And what could be more fitting than a “Christmas in July” Mood Board Monday theme?
I snagged this lovely collage from Wedding Window and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it!
Christmas has always been my favourite holiday of the year, so why not spruce up your July wedding with Christmas joy?
Are you a Christmas in July kinda bride??
Here’s a lovely Winter poem–and correlating wedding theme–for all my beloved DA Weddings subscribers!
“The Winter Comet”
The night was black and barren,
The snow lay still as death;
The mountains lie ‘neath blankets;
E’en faeries held their breath.
But then a sound came softly,
A light and airy sound.
And then a sound came softly,
Shimmer: its resound.
It sprang across the Even sky
It cut a whole of glass.
Like diamonds thrown upon the night
And tingling of brass.
Yet more melodic was its tone,
It rang so clear and free.
And finer still became its song,
And then at last we see.
The shining aura swimming fast
Across the waking vale.
Like angel with its wings thrown back,
Like bride with flowing veil.
The comet came and filled our sky
And brightened our dark souls.
The comet came and filled our sky
And hurried quickly home.
Yet before its home it finds,
Many skies will come alive,
To diamond touch and frozen lights,
Yet on and on it flies.
‘Til Mother Rora welcomes back
Her solemn sparkling child,
And home she’ll shed her virgin veil
And settle down so mild.
She’ll off to sleep ‘til Time will call
Her up for task again,
Then off she’ll fly so full and free
And claim the skies again!
“Silver and gold, silver and gold everyone wishes for silver and gold..!” You may recognize those lyrics from the old Rudolph movie sung by Burl Ives a.k.a. Frosty the Snowman. Well, I love that song AND those colours–especially for Christmas and Winter weddings! Don’t you??
Silver and gold wedding colour schemes also make a lovely segue into New Year’s Eve weddings and wedding-related events!

Merry Christmas to you all! I hope that you all will enjoy your Christmas Eve and Christmas day! I pray that it is filled with love, joy, presents, and of course good food! Let’s remember the true reason for the season: the birth of a King bringing peace, love, and life to all men! He is the reason we celebrate!
Have the happiest, merriest Christmas ever!

“Silver white winters that melt into Spring” is one of my favourite lines from The Sound of Music musical’s “My Favorite Things” made popular by the ever-loved Julie Andrews. Although often played during the Christmas season, this is actually not a Christmas song and in the words of my dear high school BFF “My Favorite Things is not a Christmas song. Stop playing it!” lol Part of me concurs, yet the other part believes because of this wonderful “silver white winters” line and very likely the fact that the song is sung in a likely “Christmastown” a.k.a Salzburg, Austria it just makes sense to play it!
Will you make Silver White Winters your Christmas wedding theme??
