What are some Christmas wedding table decoration ideas?

Short answer

For Christmas, use evergreen foliage, red berries, pine cones and white or gold accents. Add candles, fairy lights or small baubles as place settings. Keep the look festive but elegant, and let the greenery carry the theme.

Christmas tables can be memorable without being overdone. Start with a runner of fresh or faux evergreen, such as spruce, eucalyptus or fir. Weave in red berries, holly or small pine cones. Then add candles in clusters, using white, gold or silver holders, and consider a string of battery powered fairy lights tucked into the greenery for a soft glow.

Use baubles as place card holders or scatter them down the table in matching colours. Small glass vases with single stems of amaryllis or white roses add a refined touch. For a cosy feel, use tartan ribbon or fabric as napkin rings, or tie a sprig of rosemary to each napkin. You could also use mini Christmas trees, either real potted ones or decorative ones, as centrepieces, and guests can take them home afterwards.

Keep the colour scheme tight, perhaps red and gold, or silver and blue, so it feels cohesive. If your venue has its own Christmas decorations, ask what will be in place on your day and plan around it. And remember that evergreen can be fragrant, which is lovely, but check no guests have strong allergies.
