Recycled Holiday Wedding Decorations

Most people have box upon box of seasonal decorations which they only pull out to use around the holidays. If you are having a wedding during the winter and holidays, you can dig through all of your holiday decorations to see if you can use any for your wedding. After all, you (or your family members) already own them, so why spend money buying something new? This article touches on a few easy ways to recycle your holiday decorations to use for your winter wedding.

            Who doesn’t have hundreds of tiny white Christmas lights tangled up in their attic? White lights are incredibly versatile.  Those little white lights which look so merry twinkling on your Christmas tree will look just as festive wrapped around the pillars of your reception venue entrance. Or bring life to the potted tress at your wedding venue by using the lights on them. The head table could be decorated with tiny lights paired with floral garlands. Just think about how your bridal jewelry will sparkle in all of that lovely twinkling light!

            Plain round Christmas ornaments are actually incredibly useful as wedding decorations. The trick to using them in ways which are festive but do not make your wedding look like a holiday party is choose the colors carefully. Classic red and green together will definitely scream “Merry Christmas”, but if you take your silver ornaments and combine them with matte finish lime green or purple balls, they lose the holiday association. You can stuff beautiful glass urns with colorful ornaments anywhere you’d like to add colorful decorations with little to no effort at all. You can decorate the altar of the Chruch or the guest book table with smaller or oversized urns. If you are planning on wearing lots of sparkly bridal jewelry, choose some ornaments with a glittery finish to combine with the smooth ones. Ribbons combined with round ornaments look beautiful hing aross high doorways or even over windows.

            What about the miniature table-top Christmas trees that many people own – did you know that you can re-purpose those for holiday wedding decorations? They would make beautiful reception table centerpieces for a winter wedding. Take off all the tacky red ornaments and use a white and gold color palette to give the trees wedding feel to them. White flowers can be affixed to the tiny trees, as well as small gold berry sprays, and teardrop crystals. If you prefer pearl bridal jewelry, swap out the teardrop crystals for large teardrop faux pearls and then top each tree with a large white satin bow for the perfect finishing touch.

            There are many other holiday ornaments which can work equally well as wedding decorations. All of your gold and silver bells can be combined together into small wreaths, one to hang across the bride’s chair and one for the groom’s chair. Or borrow your mom’s collection of clip-on bird ornaments (every mom has those, right?) and clip them to branches as part of a nature-inspired reception tablescape. Charm up the wedding favor boxes with decorations of faux berries paired with red and white ribbon.

            With so many creative possibilities, you will find many fun ways to recycle your holiday decorations into wedding décor. So before you purchase a single thing to decorate your ceremony or reception space, tear open all those boxes marked “X-mas” gathering dust in the attic. You may just stumble upon a treasure chest of wedding decorations!
