The Winter Wedding Reception

You should also be able to have a better choice in dates available as well as having a better guest turnout.

Most people have their weddings in the summer, so by having yours in off season, you won't have to compete with your guest's full schedules.

Let's look at how to easily put together a winter wedding reception. The first place you should check is with Shindigz.

They are a huge supplier of everything you need to put on an incredible wedding reception.

I have dealt with them personally and can attest to their fast shipping and ultra friendly service.

These are just some of the winter/Christmas themed decorations that I found at Shindigz:

Winter Wedding Invitations

You can find beautifully winter-theme wedding invitations at places such as Invitation Consultants. Check out their website, you can search for your perfect invitation by theme, color, size, shape, features and they certainly have all the inserts you might need to put into your invitations for your guests information.

I have also found a good selection for you here:

Lighting for Winter Weddings

Lighting adds warmth to your reception decorations. Use candles in centerpieces or tea lights in holders that can double as favors for your guests.

Floating candles in a large glass bowl of water set on a mirror could make a wonderfully simple yet effective centerpiece.

Other ways to implement lighting include using twinkle lights or rope lighting on tables along with using tulle or gossamer.

Look to Shindigz to add some really unique lighting accessories to your winter wedding reception...

Winter Wedding Centerpieces

The most common type of centerpiece used at weddings are floral arrangements. Work with your florist to choose from an all icy-white floral centerpiece or use dark, rich colors such as reds and burgundies along with gold and dark green accents.

I really like using a floral wreath on round tables with pillar candles or even a large three wick candle in its center. Be sure to use unscented candles on tables as you don't want their scent to overpower your guests when they are trying to enjoy their dinners.

Using a wreath-style centerpiece also ensures that your guests views will not be blocked by a too tall arrangement. Another great color combination is white, pale blue and silver.

And don't forget you can also group together the most famous winter flower, the poinsettia in small pots in the center of your reception tables. That way more of your guests can share in receiving the centerpiece at the end of the reception.

Place Settings and Favors for the Winter Wedding Reception

Here is a great selection of themed wedding favors for your winter/Christmas wedding:

You can also incorporate winter colors into your place settings with personalized napkins, favors and chair wrappings using tulle or ribbon.

Just because your wedding and wedding reception takes place in the winter doesn't mean you have to have a drab reception.

In fact, the money you save on food and the site can be invested in your decorations to make your winter wedding reception a beautiful thing.
