Christmas Wedding Centerpiece Decorations With Flowers And Foliage Made Easy

Christmas wedding centerpiece decoration ideas that focus on flowers and foliage as the main elements can be cheap ways to decorate for a wedding reception celebration centered on a Christmas wedding theme. In this article, I will share some of the do-it-yourself Christmas decorations found in Christmas In Minutes and Natural Ideas for Christmas where flowers and foliage are used to create Christmas decor for the table. Both books are co-authored by Josie Cameron and Carol Cox, who do a marvelous job of providing easy to understand instructions with photos so any bride and her attendants can create great Christmas wedding centerpiece decorations in no time at all.

When considering Christmas wedding centerpieces for guest tables, keep in mind that they should be either short or tall and thin to facilitate cross-table conversations. With that in mind, the first of the table top wedding decorations we will consider is the Christmas rose loaf found on page 80 of Natural Ideas for Christmas. This small arrangement features “a loaf tin edged with moss and packed full of roses” that will allow plenty of face-to-face while delivering visual poetry. The project instructions call for either fresh roses or dried ones, which can get quite expensive. Good-looking artificial roses can aid in crafting cheap floral wedding reception decorations that are still exquisite.

Another low-level Christmas table decoration project is the calla lily centerpiece found in Christmas In Minutes on page 50. This elegantly simple table top wedding decoration project calls for 18 to 20 long, slim green leaves and 18 deep red calla lilies, which are laid out in a wide glass bowl – leaves first, then the calla lilies – so that the tips of the flowers and foliage overhang the rim very slightly. Again, using attractive artificial pieces can help cut cost while still providing attractive cheap reception decorations. The project instructions also call for Christmas lights to surround the arrangement for uplighting effect, but several strategically-placed votive candles can make a suitable substitute.

If the wedding reception location features tall ceilings, then choosing some taller Christmas wedding centerpiece decorations will help fill the vertical space. Another calla lily table wedding decoration idea found on page 60 in Christmas In Minutes is the calla lily flower tree. For this project, 10 to 12 deep red calla lilies are fit into a slim cylindrical vase into which florist’s foam has been placed to occupy about one-third of the container. To get a tall, thin arrangement, the chosen cylindrical vase needs to be a good 18 inches tall, which should still result in spectacular Christmas decor for the table by following the given instructions.

If you are looking for Christmas wedding centerpiece decoration ideas that use white flowers and foliage, then turn to page 46 in Christmas In Minutes and consider an Amaryllis tree crafted with seven white amaryllis and two long trails of gold gilded ivy. To ensure that the arrangement does not interfere with the guests’ ability to see and converse with each other, slight modifications will need to be made. These include using amaryllis with longer stems and/or using a taller container than those shown in the project photo.
