We couldn’t wait to show you a reception idea like this. Christmas is around the corner and so is that warm and fuzzy feeling. We’ve come up with a creation that emanates that same heartwarming feeling while staying elegant at the same time. From the small details to the overall look, this design by Teddy Manuel exudes the kind of celebratory mood that’s perfect for any reception.

Brides who are into oppulent, royal or holiday wedding themes will love this layout.

A combination of lilac equadorian roses, purple hydrangeas, lisianthus, carnations, and fuchsia roses are key elements to this this setting.

Combine them with silver accents and mirrors for a traditional yet unconventional look.

Chairs have a nice plum organza rosette to go with the theme.

DIY table runners like these are really simple to do. Simply layer the ribbons on top of the table in different thicknesses and shades.

For that holiday feel, add in a few purple to plum colored Christmas balls to the centerpieces.

Vintage lamps – great for creating a cozy, at-home feel for the holidays.

Complete the experience of your reception theme with a delicious dish like this one!

Put a Christmas twist to your wedding cake by adding in silver and plum snowflakes! That way, your cake complements the theme.
