time to celebrate the union of the bride and the groom? So along with the sounds of Santa's jingling bells the air gets filled with the ringing of the church bells to congratulate the newly weds on their wedding at Christmas. With the spirit of Christmas festivity, the wedding vows of a lifetime companionship take double significance for the couple. Anticipation of such a joyful union, definitely calls for wonderful decorations for a Christmas wedding making this Christmas the most memorable one in your life. We have a few decoration ideas that might help:
Ceremony Decorations
- You can string the bushes in front of the church with tiny white lights and also clear white electric candles in the windows look attractive for a night wedding.
- Instead of an aisle runner, try to sprinkle fake snow down the aisle. It will give a great Christmas look to the wedding!
- Luminaries lining the church driveway are a really neat decoration and cheap, too. Paper bags are filled with about two inches of sand and a candle inserted in the sand. A slight variation on this is to use the bottoms of 2-liter pop bottles inside of the bags so that the luminaries' last longer/don't easily blow out or burn the bags. Just put the sand and candle in the bottle bottom.
- A nice touch for the altar area is to purchase dozens of potted poinsettias and cluster them around the front of the church. Most churches have steps leading up to the altar and the poinsettias can create a cascading effect. Later, the poinsettias can be given as either favors to guests or as "Thank you" to people who have helped you with your wedding.
- Flowers like Holly, sprigs of ivy and pine can be used in numerous ways to decorate the wedding venue. The other options are the fire and ice roses (white with red tips), gardenias and maybe stargazer lilies.
Reception Decorations
- The reception hall can look attractive with large Christmas trees adorned with tiny lights. Even fichus trees with white lights look beautiful. The stairways, doorways and windows can be swagged with greenery roping.
- The Buffet tables can be swagged with greenery roping along the sides or the greenery roping can be placed on the table among the platters and dishes. You can use small white lights along the rim of the table and make it very attractive!
- For a centerpiece to the main buffet table, why not consider having a gingerbread house or church?
- Up to 5 candle table candelabras look very elegant on buffet tables
- You can ask each shower guest to get a Christmas ornament and then use these ornaments to decorate a tree at the reception giving it a personal touch!
- This is something unique for Christmas wedding- if your reception hall has a fireplace, you can have a pinewood fire, and stockings hanging from the mantel and décor it with pine boughs and some potted poinsettias.
- Instead of the heart shaped balloons, have candy cane balloons for your wedding. You just have both sides of it and separate them and had them at the entrance of the reception hall. They can really create a magical setting.
- For a centerpiece, small trees decorated with small ornaments and lights or a mirror with a single candle and greenery. And also you can use wreath-like candle rings, decorated with tiny Christmas ornaments and ribbon. Use scented candles, pine or cinnamon could give a fine touch.
- You can paint delicate branches of trees with white paint, add a sparkle of glitter and decorate with baubles, tinsel and fairy lights.
