The available Christmas decorations can double up as winter wedding decorations. Winter is that time of the year when people seem to be at their most festive mood. It is a time of joy and celebration that a lot of couples choose this particular season to tie the knot.

If you have plans of booking your big day during this wonderful time of the year, plan way in advance. Here's one idea. Buy Christmas decorations and baubles on clearance sales. Wait for the post-Christmas season and buy your wedding decorations at rock-bottom prices. You need not be limited to post-holiday sales so watch out for stores clearing out themed items at bargain prices too.

Here are some easy and inexpensive winter wedding decoration ideas.

Winter Wonderland

Set up a real live pine or fir tree in the reception hall. You can decorate it with Christmas trimmings that are in synch with your wedding motif. If your color motif is red and gold, by all means fill the tree with red and gold decorations. If your motif is silver and blue decorate the tree with the said colors. Decorate the ceiling and walls with boughs of holly or swags of creamy tulle inter-twined with silk poinsettia. Set a large foam ball in the middle of the function hall and stick in branches of pine or fir and silk poinsettias for a big hanging ball topiary. Attach lengths of 6" tulle to radiate from the hanging ball topiary to the sides of the wall, minimum of four lengths for the four corners of the function hall. Adjust the number based on the room's size.

If you are not keen on a Christmassy theme, then opt for a magical winter wonderland theme. Buy some clear white and silver plastic snowflakes and hang them from the ceiling. Get dried tree branches (preferably willow) and spray paint them white. Add some silver glitter paint on parts of the painted tree. Get some buckets, one for each "tree". Set the tree in the bucket and fill it up with sand and some flat stones to keep the tree from wobbling. Cover the bucket's exterior with gold or silver fabric, gather them up at the rim and secure with a 2-3 inches wide ribbon finishing with a bow. Make use of fairy lights and string them throughout the branches. Place the twinkling trees throughout the room making sure there is provision for electrical power for the lights.

Table Centerpieces

If you are opting for Christmas wedding you can opt for a cream table cloth and sprinkle some red glitter confetti on it. For a winter wonderland theme, leave the tablecloth white and sprinkle on some silver and gold confetti.

For the centerpiece, simple options are three round white candles of different height set on a base of fir leaves, poinsettia and cones. You can use either red or white poinsettia. Add some ribbons and bows of gold to make the centerpiece more festive.

Another wonderful idea is to buy plain wicker baskets and spray paint them in silver or gold or white, or you may find it cheaper to buy them already painted. Weave a length of ribbon around the basket and finish off by pulling a large bow on one side. Fill the basket with Christmas balls of white, gold and silver. Add some sprig of holly on the basket's handle for color.
