Simple Snowflake Flower
-
Use the elegant appearance of snowflakes to create a simple wedding centerpiece with a sophisticated air. Fill a clear bud vase 1/3 full with silver snowflake-shaped beads. Slide a single flower, such as a red rose or white lily, into the vase and place it on the table. Sprinkle silver snowflake confetti over the flower and around the base of the vase.
Earthy Evergreen Bouquet
-
Add a hint of color to your winter-themed wedding reception with an evergreen and wood centerpiece. There are two ways to create the earthy white vases used for a base in each table decoration; you can glue birch paper around cylinder-shaped vases or you can whitewash old wooden vases. Slide three uneven evergreen branches into each vase to create centerpieces with a minimalist style. If you want something fancier, add a few pussy willow branches and sprigs of red berries to the evergreens.

Modern Sparkling Fruit
-
Mix traditional winter fruits with sparkling glass for a sleek wedding centerpiece with a modern look. Fill a tall, clear, rectangular glass vase with alternating layers of fresh cranberries, clear glass beads, fresh crab apples, and gold glass beads for each centerpiece. Add cold water to each vase to help keep the fruit from going soft and increase the sparkle factor.
Classic Candle Wreath
-
Display a classic style at your wedding reception with evergreen and candle centerpieces. Select a medium-size ribbon that matches your wedding colors and wrap it loosely around an evergreen wreath. Use additional ribbon to create a large bow around the front, back, left and right sides of the wreath. Place the wreath on a glass plate and position a large pillar candle in the middle opening. If you want some sparkle, but prefer to leave the candle unlit, decorate the candle top with a little silver confetti instead.
Easy Ornament Bowl
-
Filling a clear bowl with colorful round ornaments is a creative and quick way to incorporate the holiday season into your wedding reception theme. Use a small plastic bowl filled with large, round, sparkling plastic ornaments to keep your centerpieces budget friendly. Use a large glass bowl on a pedestal to create a centerpiece with a fancy feel. Fill the bowl with a mixture of large, medium and small sparkling ornaments to add interest to the table decoration.
