Decorations for a winter wedding are quite easy, as you can creatively make use of a wide variety of colorful flowers and fruits of the season. Beautiful wedding centerpieces offer an appealing and welcoming touch to the wedding venue. You may go for traditional wedding centerpieces such as floral arrangements, or you can create some unique centerpieces with your imagination. Here are some creative ideas for making beautiful winter wedding centerpieces.

Winter Wedding Centerpiece Ideas

For making winter wedding centerpieces, you can have a wide choice of beautiful winter flowers, fruits, candles, ornaments, colorful ribbons, fabric and even snowflakes. You can use a beautiful combination of rich colors such as icy to royal blue, refreshing dark green, rich cranberry or dark burgundy. You can decide on a particular color scheme such as emerald and cranberry or midnight blue and silver for the wedding ceremony. If you have selected any specific wedding theme such as a Christmas theme or a winter wonderland, then the wedding centerpieces should reflect the same.

Go Floral!
Floral arrangements and centerpieces are evergreen wedding decorations and, as such, can be used in any season and never go out of style. The blossoms of beautiful flowers like roses, carnations, tulips, orchids as well as various winter flowers such as holly, ivy, pussy-willow and dogwood during the winter, offer a unique opportunity to create some fascinating centerpieces. Choose the colors of the flowers according to the wedding theme. If you have selected a winter wonderland theme, then go for white or pale blue silk flowers arranged in a silver vase. If the wedding is based on a holiday-inspired theme, then flower arrangements should include holly berries, evergreen pine cones or red blossoms. You can arrange the flowers imaginatively or you can take the help of a florist. You can also use silk or dried flowers for making long-lasting centerpieces. Use of colorful ribbons or ornaments add a decorative touch to the centerpiece.

Fruits 'n' Veggies!
Use of real or artificial fruits is another fantastic idea for making the centerpiece. Real or plastic cranberries or any colorful fruits placed in decorative glasses or glass vases give an appealing look. Another wonderful idea is to fill the glass bowls with glistening plastic fruits and place them at the center of the reception table. You can come up with creative vegetable arrangements, made out of carved and sculpted vegetables, for your wedding centerpiece too!

Winter/Christmas Theme
If the wedding ceremony is during the Christmas season, then miniature faux Christmas trees can make excellent centerpieces. Purchase small Christmas trees sprayed with white coating. You can decorate these trees with small Christmas balls, ribbons, Christmas ornaments and colorful lights. You can opt for some other types of decorative trees like wire sparkle trees, lace covered cone tree, glitter vine or twig trees and ornamental trees. You can also opt for centerpieces made of pine wreath and a red or white candle. You can decorate the wreath with bead garlands and other ornaments.

Some Other Ideas!
Snow globes and snowflakes can make lovely centerpieces too. Use of miniature versions of winter items such as sleighs or sleds, is a wonderful idea for making winter wedding centerpieces. You can fill these winter items with mints, nuts or candies, or attractive silk flowers. Arrange winter animal figures such as polar bears, penguins or winter birds on a stemmed platter. You can also use snowballs, snowflakes or miniature reindeer in the centerpieces. Use of candles of various shapes and sizes is an excellent idea to create a unique centerpiece. You can either arrange elegant candles in elaborate candle-stands or you can go for floating candles in an ornamental bowl of water. Throw in some sparklers and your centerpiece is ready to go! Candy arrangements or a basket of candied fruits can also be used to design attractive centerpieces that appeal to senses other than just the eyes!

Addition of some exceptional winter wedding centerpieces can help create a refreshing yet ceremonial atmosphere for the winter wedding ceremony and also make the guests feel special. Besides, years later when you look at those wedding pictures, you're definitely going to feel happy about not neglecting this aspect of your wedding decor!
