1. Evergreen/Pine Cones
Evergreen sprigs, pine cones, and twigs make a lovely winter statement and are perfect additions to a winter themed wedding. Arrangements that contain pine cones, evergreen branches, berries, and winter flowers, like roses, mums, or silver-colored berries make beautiful centerpiece arrangements for wedding receptions.
Pine cones are perfect for name place cards on wedding reception guest tables or for wedding favors. You can enhance table place settings with a fresh evergreen spring that is made complete with pine cone napkin holders. Last, but not least, festive evergreen garlands are an easy way to decorate the wedding ceremony aisle. You can raise or lower the garlands with special hook placements.
2. Luminaries
Rustic brown paper bags or white bags with evergreen tree cutouts on the front make elegant indoor or outdoor decorations for a winter wedding. Simply fill the bags with a couple of cups of sand. Add either votive or LED votive candles to the sand. Place the bags along pathways, sidewalks, gardens, or other areas where light makes a perfect statement.
3. Snowflake Accents
Snowflake motifs are well-suited for winter themed weddings and using them for various decorations coordinates with a naturally themed winter wedding. You see snowflakes as wedding cake toppers or decorative ceiling hangers with LED lights, which create a romantic ambiance in a reception area. Wedding invitations with a snowflake theme and even silky soft snowflakes for a flower girl toss or a snowflake aisle runner are perfect winter companions.
4. Bare Tree Branches
Large to medium-sized bare branches and twigs make excellent decor for a winter themed wedding. You can use them in tree form as centerpieces strung with twinkle lights, crystals, berries, flowers, or even tinsel. They also make excellent centerpiece table decorations for long banquet tables. Simply entangle them with berries, flowers, pine boughs, baby’s breath, and other flowers for a wintery effect.
5. Greenery Wreaths
Nothing says winter wedding more than natural wreaths that add color and texture to the wedding ceremony and reception area. Think of plush wreaths made of greenery that are interspersed with vines and white flowing flowers. Also, use greenery wreaths in place of flowers for bridesmaids, particularly for holiday weddings.
