Holiday Décor
The holidays have beautiful color palettes and traditional décor that can be incorporated, making your design concepts a little easier to come up with. Utilize the ability to incorporate the holiday into your décor. That being said, don't over-do the holiday theme! You don't need to include every Christmas decoration available...select one holiday theme and execute it elegantly.
Unpredictable Guest Attendance
Being that it's a holiday, some of your guests may already have holiday plans in place and not be able to attend. In addition, the holidays are generally big spending times for people and this may affect your guest's ability to afford to attend. During the holiday seasons, hotels, gas and travel costs also go up. Keep in mind that a holiday wedding could make your guest count lower than a non-holiday wedding date for several different reasons.

Expenses
During some holiday seasons, some of the details for your wedding may go up in price. For example, roses are going to be more expensive around Valentine's Day than other times of year. Keep this in mind when selecting your vendors and items for a holiday wedding! You may instead choose something not in demand during that holiday time for a more reasonable price. On the contrary, some other things may be priced more reasonably because it's in season! Make sure to select things like flowers, food, beverages, and such that fit the season and are readily available so there's no markup on the cost.
Vendors Availability
Some vendors don't generally work holidays. That being said, if you find one who does they may have higher rates in place for the holidays. Keep your budget in mind when you're selecting a wedding date, and make sure you're able to select vendors who can work on your holiday wedding date.
