Candles & Florals For Your Christmas Wedding

Decorating a Christmas wedding with flowers and candles can create a festive and romantic atmosphere. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Ceremony Decor

Aisle Markers:

Line the aisle with pops of deep red roses or fresh eucalyptus tied with velvet ribbons.
Place hurricane candle holders with black, white or ivory candles along the aisle for a warm glow.

Altar Arrangements:

Create a large floral arrangement at the altar using seasonal flowers and foliage.
Incorporate candles in varying heights and widths for added interest.

Reception Decor

Table Centrepieces:

- Use a combination of low and tall centrepieces for visual interest.
- Low centrepieces could be ikebana dish designs, wreaths filled with lush greenery and berries with pillar candles in the centre.
- Tall centrepieces could be candelabras adorned with flowers and greenery.

Place Settings:

- Tie small sprigs of mistletoe or pine to napkin rings.
- Place a small votive candle at each setting for a cosy touch.

Candlelit Walkways:

- Illuminate walkways with lanterns, pinecones scented with cinnamon, or pillarbox red ilex berries.

Winter Foliage Backdrops:

- Create a backdrop with evergreen branches, fairy lights, and an assortment of your chosen florals.
- Incorporate white flowers such as baby's breath for a soft touch.

Venue Decor

Grand Entrance:

- Frame the entrance with arches or pillars decorated with garlands of greenery and maybe a cool neon sign.
- Place large floral arrangements on either side of the entrance.

Ceiling Decor:

- Hang mistletoe or floral chandeliers from the ceiling for a romantic look.
- String fairy lights or garlands of greenery along the ceiling.

Fireplace Decor:

- If the venue has a fireplace, adorn it with garlands, candles, and stockings for a cosy Christmas vibe.

Overall Atmosphere

Scented Candles:

- Choose candles with seasonal scents like cinnamon, pine, or peppermint to enhance the festive atmosphere.

Winter White and Metallics:

- Combine white flowers with metallic accents like brushed gold or silver candle holders and tableware for a luxury look.

 

**Remember to coordinate your colour scheme with the overall theme, and consider the existing decor of the venue. Adding personal touches that reflect your style as a couple can make your Christmas wedding truly magical.
