Christmas wedding centerpiece ideas to use
The focal point of your wedding reception decorations are the centerpieces and perhaps even more so when planning your holiday wedding reception.
Any wedding centerpiece adds interest to your table, but when it comes to a Christmas-themed wedding centerpiece that reminds guests of the season and your special day, it will make them smile.
Christmas wedding centerpieces lend themselves to couples who want to keep it inexpensive, dazzling, and DIY. The ideas below are some of the ways to do it yourself and I bet you will come up with other great ideas for Christmas centerpieces. Let’s start with some of my favorite Christmas wedding centerpieces, which are easy and fun to make, especially if you ask your family, bridesmaids, or other friends to help. Make it a party.
First, remember to make the centerpieces fit the theme and colors of your holiday wedding.
A good base for your Christmas wedding centerpieces is to use artificial snow, tinsel, glitter or Christmas confetti and sprinkle it on your tables.
The centerpiece will be the star, but the little additions you make will help make it look really special. Wreaths are a beautiful symbol of the season and make beautiful centerpieces. Add your own special touches with holly, mistletoe, ivy, or other holiday items that fit your theme. I love the idea of using small evergreens whether they are real or not. Hang small decorations on them and I like to hang small wrapped candy canes of various flavors and invite guests to have one and enjoy.
A wedding bell placed on its side and over a reflective round mirror with a white or holiday colored calla lily is nothing but elegant on your table.
Instead of using a plain vase for flowers, try Santa’s sleigh for the container. Insert the cut plant foam tightly into the sled and place a bouquet of flowers and greenery of your choice on it. Then weave a colored themed ribbon around the sleigh with a beautiful large bow to finish it off.
Christmas decorations come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Place them in a glass or crystal container and at the end of the evening invite each guest to choose one as a wedding detail. Cost wise, you get 2 things for the price of one.
A unique centerpiece is for you to create a little Christmas village for each table and place them on a surface of fake snow. Pinecones arranged with other holiday items when placed in decorative baskets or clear bowls certainly add to the holiday spirit, especially if you can use scented cones.
To make the pineapples a little more elegant, put glue on the edges or tips and dip them in gold or silver glitter. You can’t go wrong if you also paint the tips with your theme or holiday colors.
If you are planning wedding favors to give out in gift boxes, wrap them as Christmas gifts and place them as the Christmas wedding centerpiece on each table.
Surprise your guests at the end of the night by having them each take one from the centerpiece.
Candles are always a way to set moods and give a room a warm glow. Place a tall pillar candle in the center of a wreath for an easy Christmas wedding centerpiece.
Votive candles arranged in a circle with Christmas items arranged in the middle of the circle add a magical look to the room.
For a tasty holiday treat, place bowls of holiday candy, nuts of all kinds, and cookie plates as centerpieces and invite guests to enjoy.
Well these are my favorite inexpensive Christmas wedding centerpieces and I think you may find something you would like or hopefully you have gotten creative and come up with personal ideas.
