How to give your wedding decor holiday vibes? How to make the ambience welcoming and festive without breaking the bank and even with your own hands? How to pull off holiday decor that won’t bee too obvious and too much in your face but still very Christmassy? Here are answers to all these questions, we’ve gathered the coolest ways to give your wedding a Christmas feel.
Pinecones
One of my favorite things to integrate into wedding decor to give it a Christmas feel is pinecones. Pinecones won’t break the bank: you can gather them in the forest yourself, then prep for decorating (bake them) and use for centerpieces, table runners and arches. You can make up a bouquet of pinecones and evergreens, and skip any blooms at all. Pinecones bring that cozy woodland feel to the venue, that most of us love so much, and they can be paired with anything from fresh greenery to gilded touches.

Holly Berries and Cranberries
This is one of the hottest plants that is making a comeback to wedding decor. We haven’t seen much of holly for years as elegant and refined blooms were mostly on, and now it’s coming back! Rock holly leaves and berries to bring interest and color to the tablescape and integrate them into bouquets, centerpieces and arch decor. As it’s a seasonal plant, it won’t cost much but it will have a big visual impact. This traditional Christmas plant alone can create holiday vibes in the space, and you will need only some gold-rimmed glasses and white roses for a classic look.
As for cranberries, these are Christmas timeless ones, they are never off and can be used both for decor and eating. Decorate your centerpieces or make them of cranberries, style your wedding cake with them and add them to your menu with desserts, salads and cocktails.

Ornaments are always great for winter wedding decor because they don’t cost much, they come in all shapes and sizes and can be paired with anything for a cool look.
