Anyone have snowflake wedding centerpiece ideas?

Question

I am getting married in January and I am trying to find centerpiece ideas that incorporate snowflakes. I definatly want something with candles, but not something large and over baring. I also am looking for something that I can make myself, but still looks romantic and elegant. My colors are royal blue and silver. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Find a template for a snowflake that you like.

Cut out a zillion of them in white or blue or silver craft foam (available for cheap at craft and dollar stores). Spray with blue or silver glitter. Float them, with floating candles, in shallow, wide glass bowls of water on each table.

Cut out a large snowflake from a doilie (available cheaply at craft/dollar/discount stores). Set it under a clear glass plate holding candles/tealights.

Do same as above only make it small snowflakes set under glass saucers in groups of 3 with one tealight each.

Discount store vase (plastic)--spray paint it silver. Let dry. Tape paper snowflake cut-outs to the outside. Spray paint blue. Let dry and remove paper cut-outs. Fill with simple flower arrangement. Perhaps with a safe elevated tealight holder in the middle.

You can also just scatter small die-cut snowflakes in the center of the table and set whatever flower/candle arrangement you like right on top of them.

Good luck!

Go to http://www.orientaltrading.com/ They may not have a bunch of snowflake items right now, but come Oct/Nov they will. They carry wedding decorations and other wedding/pary items year round.

I did a snowflake/snowman theme for my mom's 50th birthday. I took clear votive cups and decorated them with double stick snowflake stickers. I then sprayed the votive cups with a frost spray, removed the protective film from the stickers and rolled the exposed adhesive in iridescent glitter. I bought foam craft snowflakes from Oriental Trading and scattered them along the center of the tables. Because it was a snowman theme, I placed a snowman ornament at each place setting as the party favor.

As the hoildays approach the craft stores will be full of all kinds of winter items. Paper lumeraries are inexpensive and you can often find them with snowflak cut outs. Simply put a votive in the bag and you'll have a soft warm glow.

Hanging icicle lights from the celing, if possible, makes a big statement and is very romantic. I think we used about 20 strands in my wedding. You can also hang snowflake cut outs from the celing as well.

most stores have christmas on sale....use the large plastic ornament snow flakes (they are clear). Get round styrofoam and wrap in your blue color with silver accent ribbon. Use three ornaments per round styrfoam and insert the upright staggering them around. Place a CLEAR votive cup in the middle and a blue candle. Spring the blue fabric with the irredescent glitter. You can place on a mirror and add more candles. Use can also write on the center of the snowflake ornaments your name and date. Hand them out as wedding reminders at the end.

sometimes you can find rub on that can be put on to glass so you can place snow flake rub ons on to a hurricane lamp then place candles inside of it this would be pretty and you can do it your self and put royal blue glass marbles inside with silver candles or if you can find a pretty stencil of a snowflake and do the same thing and do the snowflakes in white and silver on the glass and then use blue marbles and white candles in side of it! a very pretty idea winter weddings can be very pretty! good luck and congrats!

Answer 5

I saw this in a Martha Stewart magazine one time: You take a hurricane lamp/glass that is frosted (cannot see through) and you put a string of white lights inside. It was really pretty. It doesn't have snowflakes, but it is very wintery. You may be able to do something with it.

This one is made in a glass candle holder with glue and glitter. I'm not sure how easy it would be, but it could be very pretty.

why not do ever greens covered in white sparkles to simulate snow, then do white roses short stemmed in th center, and surround each one with s few sparkling snow flakes.
