Design Crafters

In lieu of the Christmas season I decided to do a search for more great Christmas decoration ideas to share with you.

I ran across some great ideas for Christmas weddings. So if you know of anyone getting married around Christmas, start taking notes.  One truly unique idea I ran across was the idea of a Christmas tree skirt that the guests sign. Talk about a guest book of a different kind.

In the way of center piece ideas, I came across some fun ideas that are great for weddings and other events, or just around your own house for decoration.
 
• You can have decorated, yet still edible candy canes tied together in the middle of the table OR you can have one at each table setting for each guest.

• Floating poinsettia candles in a decorative bowl or vase.
• Floating peppermint candy candles in a decorative bowl or vase.
• Candy Cane pillar candles for the center of each table.

If you’re worried about the candles getting knocked over or the kids accidentally burning themselves, you can decrease the risk by having the candles in glass candle vases, versus having them stand alone.

Don’t forget the sprigs of pine, fir or holly to place around your center pieces. Fake pine or fir sprigs tend to look somewhat tacky, so the real thing will definitely be more attractive and give you that real holiday feel. Now using real pine or fir you may run into people with allergies. To be on the safe side, it may be a good idea to have handy some generic over the counter allergy relievers for that occasional guest who has that specific allergy.
