Christmas Center Pieces For Weddings

If you are searching for the perfect Christmas center pieces for weddings, you can create some beautiful ones instead of the traditional vase of red flowers with greenery often associated with Christmas.

The easiest idea is to put a beautiful potted red or white poinsettia plant in the center of each table. The pot should be covered with foil or pretty paper in reds, greens, golds, silvers, or various white and cream shades, depending on your wedding's color scheme.

For a larger table, group the same colored plants together in threes.

Candles make lovely Christmas center pieces for weddings. Floating candles with sparkly rocks or marbles at the bottom of the bowl look elegant. Fill the bottom of a clear glass bowl with red, green, silver, or gold marbles or other stones specifically made for this purpose. Add water and float the candles. Light them and you are set with the perfect dinnertime table.

A set of different sized pillars or a group of tapers in crystal holders will look festive. They can be dressed up with a wreath made from fresh or fake greenery. Bows or glass ornaments can be added to the greenery for sparkle. Group candles in odd numbers such as three or five. Do not use groups of even numbered candles as they look better if the group is not perfectly balanced.

A circular three-tiered serving tray filled with a variety of delicious cookies or pastries can kill two birds with one stone. It makes a beautiful Christmas center piece for weddings. If you add some pretty plastic bags with ties, it also becomes a holder for delicious favors for your guests.

Decorate mini Christmas trees. Use tiny personalized ornaments with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date. Put up a small sign that tells guests to take an ornament home with them at the end of the evening.

Decorate mini trees with wrapped candies. Using a glue gun, glue a small loop of thin ribbon or twine onto each piece of candy to hang it on the tree. Put some pretty tiny paper bags on each table with a sign telling guests to fill a bag with candies at the end of the evening. Talk about visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads.....

Since this site is about creating a Christian wedding, and since Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, place a different nativity set in the center of each table. This will show guests that you are celebrating the real reason for the season. It also shows that you are giving first place to Christ in your marriage. What a witness for non-Christian family members and friends this can be!
