I need inexpensive and unique Christmas Wedding centerpiece ideas!

Question

I am getting married this December 13 and am in desperate need of inexpensive, unique and fesive centerpiece ideas! I will have around 30 tables of 10 and do not want those tall and high floral vases!!!! HELP!!!!

Answer 1

I think you should do something cool with Christmas ornaments.... maybe get a mirror and put a large pillar candle and three or four larger ornaments around it

You could also do miniature Christmas trees....

Answer 2

Depends on what you're after! I'm having a November first wedding and I don't want a Halloween theme wedding, nor a Thanksgiving one.  But I do want a seasonally influenced one.  Like maybe gourds, oranges and browns.  If you're after a winter theme and not specifically Christmas, you could go with low lying centerpieces and flowers with holly berries, and different varieties of pine. Maybe bundle them around a low bowl with floating candles (in water; maybe even colored?). Less flowers and more seasoned ideas.  I'm not sure that helped at all, lol, but might be a start?  Good luck, and congratulations!!

Answer 3

I am a wedding planner and I typically incorporate fruit and veggies in centerpieces when a bride has a limited budget. I know it sounds weird, but yellow lemons and green grapes add soooo much to summer arrangements with daisies and baby's breath. Very cute and inexpensive.

Find darker fruits and veggies. I don't know what your colors are, so I can't really make specific suggestions.

You can also use thick, rich fabrics in your centerpieces that coordinate with your colors. Various sizes of candles, paper snowflakes in different papers can be used.

I was married in December (7 years ago) and my church didn't let me do much in the way of throwing rice, etc... so I used a couple sizes of paper punches to make the paper snowflakes.

Another really fun and very sweet thing to do is use different and unique place card holders (you can find these anywhere!) and find pretty calligraphy fonts (try dafont.com) and type pretty quotes or love poems and arrange them around your tables.

feel free to email me with anymore ?s

Answer 4

I once saw one very much like this but with tinsel added to it. This would mean that you would get to keep the decorations for your tree too. You would be able to customize the colors to what you want easily.

Pick a few ideas and mix and match!

Answer 5

I went to one where they had a log...yes like a round piece of birch tree that you would use for firewood...and then put some pine tree branches on top decoratively and then wrapped a pretty fabric bow around them and then for a final touch some holly berries...might sound weird...but they were really neat! I swear they were pretty...or what about presents? You could wrap empty boxes in Christmas wrap that match the colors of your wedding...that way you could do a grouping in the middle of different sizes or of one big one.

most of these ideas could be simply copied by just going to your local craft store (or dollar store!) and picking up a few things.

Answer 7

pointsettas on a mirror with small  candles around it?  and even throw some  pine cones around

Answer 8

http://interiordec.about.com/od/cmasctpc...  I like this one.  its simple, elegant and can be done in the colours of your wedding.

Answer 9

Get a glass bowl, jar, or whatever and put christmas balls in your wedding colors in it. You could put some garland around it aswell.

Answer 10

This is very simple and can be elegant.  Take a small mirror ( you can get them in any craft store, place a tall pillar candle on it.  If you can find a decorative candle or a twisted taper candle for cheap  use that other wise a plain pillar candle will do.  Or if you want to jazzup the plain candle get some fine glitter, maybe in your color or in white and cover the candle with the glitter, dont use a hot glue gun as this will melt the candle, a glue stick should do the trick.  Next get three pines cones to represent the past, present and future and cover them with glitter and place them in a triangle on top of the mirror but around the candle.  That should be cheap and look really nice.  Or omitt the mirror and get some pillow stuffing or similar material (any craft store) and place it around the candle, so that the candle looks as if its is sitting in snow and then add the pines cones on top of the "snow"

Answer 11

Snow globes with a picture of you and your fiance in it! My fiance and I were going to get married this winter also but decided not to, but I think a winter wedding would be beautiful. I imagine glitter and snowflakes, so I would maybe use those ideas! But snow globes would be a good idea, and they are affordable. Maybe set them on glass and sprinkle silver sparkles around them on each table...or you could get vases and fill them with that liquid crystals and you could get like silver sticks to stick out of them, that would be a lot cheaper than flowers! Anything glittery would work for December...good luck and congrats!

Answer 12

Get some medium sized clear vases or bowls and fill with those glass ball Christmas ornaments in assorted colors (a mix of red, gold, and silver might look with your wedding colors). You can use the tiny balls, the larger ones, or a mix of sizes. You can find inexpensive vases/bowls and tons of cheap ornaments at Wal-Mart, craft stores, places like Garden Ridge, etc.

Answer 13

Try using red carnations , with frosty white christmas balls.  I could not locate a picture of it , but it is very fun and whimsical.  Also , if you have pretty evergreen trees that you could take clippings from , use them incorporated with hypericum berries and pinecones (the cute little ones) to make small wreaths and place large pillar candle inside.

Also shorter pedestal bowls spray painter silver , or any colour you choose with irvory and white flowers only , plus a little silver sparkle look amazing.

Winter fruits and berries look nice in fresh wreaths too

im sorry I couldn't find good photos of these, I hope these ideas help

Answer 14

vases filled with ornaments look beautiful...you could do red (shiny and frosted) or mix with gold or silver.  then put small tealights around the base.

another pretty centerpiece would be poinsettias.  these are gorgeous, and they would tie in the Christmas theme without being overbearing.

you could also get cheap crystal candlesticks of varying heights and get tall red tapers. (classy!) and then do a simple arrangement at the base with evergreens and red berries.  that would be so pretty and you can get tapers and candlesticks pretty cheap.  just make sure the tapers are the kind that melt in, otherwise it will ruin the tablecloth.

i hope these ideas help!  have fun and good luck!

Answer 15

I think those glass christmas tree's that you fill with candy would be adorable!!! and you can fill it with whatever you like!!
