I've got a great idea! Your colors are wine and ivory? Get a bottle of wine and set it in a glass bowl of faux pearls, tie or hot glue a pretty ivory ribbon around the bowl. Think fishbowl-like (but prettier!), i'm sure if you check with a craft superstore you'll find some nice bowls reasonably cheap, and after dinner is over, your tables can crack the wine. Maybe get some labels made with "Phil and Diane's Wedding day, vintage 2007, may they age as well as this wine" or something to that effect.

Alright, i know u want a link but i couldnt find one either..but i am getting married in december and chose round mirrors with hurricane candle shades with pillar candles. I bought the shades from http://www.save-on-crafts.com and my idea is similar to the picture they show mid-way down the homepage. On the left.

Also add a lil snazz we are spinkling rose petals around the hurricane and having two small votives on either side.

December weddings…candles= warmth & elegance

Other cool ideas are minture xmas trees with miniture ornaments. Or glass bowl with glass bulbs inside and a couple candles on either side. OR they sell "iced twigs" which fit nicely in a floral arrangement or by themselves in a vase. and then you could put ice crystals or snowflakes on the table around it.

How about small christmas trees as centerpieces and decorated with wine christmas balls. Tablecloths could be wine or ivory and do napkins alternating color.

An old fashioned lantern on a tall holder – something like you would see in pictures of old time carolers – with a simple ivory or wine colored candle. Place fresh pine around the bottom of the holder and tea lights in front of each place setting in iridescent glass votive holders.

**For some atmosphere see if your local high school or if you have a college nearby with a music dept. that would have a group of singers who would come perform in a strolling fashion throughout the guests as they mingle before dinner. Even better if they had the old time or Victorian costumes! You’d be surprised what type of talent you’ll get for a small donation!

theknot.com is where I found one that I wanted to use at my wedding in February but then my place supplied centerpieces so I didnt use it but I thought they were perfect for a winter wedding. This was on the site last year dont know if it will still be there but I did still have it saved

here is the link

I hope you can get the pic to come up its an arrangement that features a core of red-stick dogwood surrounded by a ring of jewel-toned amaryllis. You could either get the dog wood sticks in white/ ivory or you can leave them red and change the flowers to a white/ivory- just a thought

Good Luck and Congrats!!

you can use branches thats what I am doing. you get branches I am using curly willow but you can use whatever you like, then put them in a vase with gems in the bowl Then you can also paint the branches whatever color or leave them the natural color they are. then you can decorate the branches with crystal beads or put whatever in them they are really cute, but for some people hard to visualize. ask your florist, at first my florist had no idea what I was talking about then she put it together and it was beautiful. hope this helps you. good luck and congratulations.

Simple cheap idea: buy gift boxes from a craft store (the kind that are flat and you have to fold into place) in 3 different sizes from small to large. Wrap each box in wine colored wrapping paper and then wrap ivory ribbon on sides going upward to tie into a bow on top. So your centerpieces will look like wrapped gifts. The boxes come in all sizes so they can be as big and small as you like.

OR, get simple bubble bowls and fill them halfway with wine colored sand, then lay an ivory flower on the sand. add greenery if you choose. then place this on top of a round mirror….the mirror makes it lok very elegant.

What about a square "mirror" that you place tea lights on? The little candles could be deep red and white. Then get some cedar boughs and layer those around the candles (you could even spray those with fake snow).

Or, cut out snowflakes and lay them down on the mirros and spray fake snow on that so you have an outline of a snowflake on there. The put the candle on it.

For a large centerpiece, I think someone mentioned earlier a birch tree with holes drilled in it for pillar candles. Attach some greens to that.

Best of luck, and congrats on your wedding.
