Wedding Forum - Xmas wedding ideas please...

hi,we are contemplating a christmas ball themed wedding next year or just xmas theme wedding and would like some ideas on decorating the venue..lifesize props etc.it seems soooooo expensive just wondered if anyone had any budget ideas??? any appreciated tho..thankyou x

I watched Choccywoccydoodah and the lady and man on there had a wonderful Winter Christmas theme, there cake had a stag and deer on, and had snowflakes falling down the cake and was all glittery! Was stunning.

Also, baubles! You can pick up baubles pretty cheap, and you can decorate so much with them. You could get branches, clean them up, paint them white and glittery and hang baubles in your colours off of them. Or a white wish tree, as the bare branches always remind me of winter.

Ivy always seems christmassy to me too. So hints of green coming through the white.

You could have mulled wine, instead of champagne? You can pick up the fake snow sheets from the £1shop to decorate table with, as table runners perhaps? Hanging fake icicles around tables, or instead of chair bows, have icicles instead.

Just a lot of glitter, white/blue and hints of green is what i imagine.

Good luck. We played with the idea of a winter wedding, there are lots of possibilities!

I have the baubles holders velcro!!
They don't actually come with the ribbon as they are supposed to just sit but i bought ribbon and put it on so people can have them for favourss as well!!

thanks guys..lots of ideas there.seen the baubles and thanks princess2be would like to see your ideas.will look now.

as some of you will know,we were getting married may this year but split last year for a few months.we got back together this year and all back on for next xmas.still have my dress and bridesmaids dresses that are cadbury purple,and wanted to keep the same colours which included hot pink gerberas with purple.may need to rethink with xmas theme...think silver? as like the bling bits! lol.
thats the trouble ive had with xmas decs as most are traditional red,green,gold etc.

*anyone know of any good 'prop' hire ??? like idea of a sleigh to sit in and have pics pre decorated xmas trees??

I like the idea of filling bowls with baubles in your colour scheme. That looks nice, whereas sometimes Xmas themed things can get a bit tacky, however, there are tasteful ways of doing it.

I also like the idea of red and white rather than blue/silver as I feel that can make it feel a little cold. Red and green are obviously the christmas colours, but I've heard the saying red and green should never been seen, yet I think it looks lovely.

Purple baubles are often about this time of year. I've seen a lot of lime green and purple in the last year or so, so I would keep an eye on places like the R@nge and B and Q as they often have sizable Christmas decoration selections. Would also say that as these aren't the most popular colours for actual Christmas decorations, you might be able to pick up some bargains in the January sales this year ready for next year.

Maybe you can have a table plan like an advent calendar?

how about a bauble bouquet?

Because she said they spilt up and changed the date I imagine!

Are you having a photobooth? theres a company i was looking at that do sleigh ones x
