How to Choose a Wedding Centerpiece 

Choosing a winter wedding centerpiece is mostly a matter of personal taste. You can include anything from candles and florals to holiday ribbons and ornaments. 

However, there are a few universal rules you should consider following:

Eye-Contact is Crucial 

The first rule in choosing centerpieces is eye-contact!

If guests sitting at the table have to lean around the centerpiece to speak to someone on the other side, then the centerpiece is the wrong size. 

Most of the time, a short centerpiece should be around twelve inches tall, but if you want to add height to your tables, consider a centerpiece over 32 inches high so that guests can see under it. 

Stick with the Season

For a winter wedding, you’ll want to use winter plants or warm-lit candles. Mistletoe, and blooms like magnolia, and poinsettias are all great seasonal options. 

If you plan to use candles, make sure you check with your event venue first. They might not allow real flames, and you may need to opt for battery-operated ones instead.

Holiday baubles and ribbons are also good winter options, as are evergreen plants. You could use eucalyptus or pine boughs alongside gold and silver ornaments, even weeks after Christmas. 

Red or white roses are also more than acceptable in a winter wedding but avoid spring or summer-focused foliage. Peonies, tulips, and calla lilies may look out of place during the winter season, not to mention hard to find!

Work with Your Wedding Planner and Event Venue 

Before you purchase your centerpieces talk to your planner and the event venue to get an idea of the big picture.

They’ll be able to point out when something doesn’t fit and give opinions on what decorations work best in the room. They may even have a few pieces available for you to rent or purchase. 

Keep in mind that the venue may also have rules or regulations about decorating that will help inform your decision. 

For example, some venues have hanging chandeliers that might get in the way of a tall centerpiece. 

Consider Mixing it Up

Many couples assume that each centerpiece needs to match. And, while that’s certainly the easiest way to decorate, it’s not the only way to do things. 

Some of the most gorgeous weddings use a few different centerpieces at once. This look is especially stunning when you use a mix of tall and short pieces. 

Alternatively, you could consider a different centerpiece at each table with one underlying theme. We’ve seen this turn out beautifully when using books, candles, and antiques.
