Christmas Wedding Themes: Christmas With Southern Living 2006
Great ideas for Christmas wedding themes present themselves within the pages of the many Christmas decor books that come out every holiday season. The need for Christmas wedding decoration ideas may well be amply served by those of Christmases past, making them well worth thumbing through. Case in point: Christmas With Southern Living 2006. Sandwiched between the in-depth information-packed menu plans in the front of this volume and the abbreviated Christmas craft decorations instructions at the end, one will find numerous potential Christmas wedding themes that anyone will appreciate.
One worthy consideration is a refreshingly understated Victorian wedding theme presented by a “Retro Chic” scheme in which you “blend new and vintage accents for a casual yet elegant look that’s all about comfort and charm.” Potentially unique Christmastime Victorian wedding decorations that will really drive the theme home with your guests are Victorian-style stockings like those shown in the pictures on pages 98 through 100.
In the table setting pictures on pages 101 through 103, potentially excellent low key Victorian wedding reception decoration ideas exemplify “the easygoing elegance of the entire design.” Included is a simple do-it-yourself wedding reception table centerpiece decoration assembled by adorning a distressed white cake stand with layers of “fresh and dried hydrangea blooms.”
One of the ways to decorate for the wedding reception that is a radical departure from the norm and that can also deliver a truckload of savings is to forgo flowers and use feathers, as demonstrated in the section titled “Easy, Earthy Style.” Right there in the table setting picture on page 108 is an elegant wedding reception table centerpiece decoration idea for a Christmas wedding.
The single most pronounced visual statement in the centerpiece is the arrangement of black-and-brown feathers towering above an appropriately fashioned base that combines Christmas ornaments with evergreen cuttings and artichokes. In this section, the Christmas holiday decor’s thematic framework centers on a blue-and-brown color scheme.
If you live in, or plan the have your wedding in, a spot that typically offers warm weather during Christmastime, then a Christmassy garden theme wedding is an option. For plenty of ideas on how to decorate for a garden wedding with a Christmas slant, turn to the section titled “Garden-Style Greetings” starting on page 110. Spilling over from that page and onto the next is a picture showing casual garden wedding decorations that convey the holiday theme.
It delivers a visual crash course in how to combine wedding themes and ideas for white flowers with elegantly simple effect. Among the garden theme wedding ideas shown is an easy to assemble candle table wedding decoration idea, in which a white votive candle is set in the center of a small glass urn filled with alternating layers of kumquats and reindeer moss.
In addition to those potential Christmas wedding themes, there are numerous other Christmas holiday decor pictures sure to tickle the mind with Christmas wedding decoration ideas. For a wedding table decoration idea that combines Christmas and wine wedding themes, turn to page 123 and check out the wine caddy centerpiece.
Inject a little cherub wedding theme by way of stylish bronze cherub candle holders as exemplified in the picture spanning pages 126 and 127. Or, borrow the Christmas ornament decorating strategy pictured on page 129 in which festive glass baubles are suspended from strips of ribbon in varying colors and lengths. For anyone wanting a solid resource to help pull off a wedding with a Christmas aesthetic, Christmas With Southern Living 2006 merits a slot near the top of their short list.
