10 Stunning Centerpieces Perfect for Colorado Winter Weddings
Picture this for your Winter Wonderland Wedding: crystalline snowflakes, the feeling of falling snow, crisp blue lighting that transforms your wedding venue into a magical place that “looks like winter”, but feels warm and wonderful. Or a cozy rustic winter wedding feel with garland, the fresh scent of evergreen and pine cones, and the warm glow of candles all around you. At the heart of each table sits a masterpiece that captures the magical essence of the season. These 10 Stunning Centerpieces Perfect for Colorado Winter Weddings are meant to inspire you to create your own gorgeous works of art on your dinner tables.
Winter weddings offer unique opportunities for truly spectacular centerpieces that simply aren’t possible at other times of the year. Imagine what you can do to create a magical winter setting, surrounded by scattered crystals and snowflakes that catch the light like freshly fallen snow. Or consider tall branches adorned with hanging glass and evergreen, creating the illusion of ice-covered trees.
We’ve decorated winter weddings in the most creative ways with our all-inclusive wedding packages – some of our favorites feature white hydrangeas with accents of blue and crystals, or evergreen garland with soft touches of cranberries and pinecones..
The beauty of winter centerpieces lies in their versatility, and that most guests haven’t experienced the beauty of what a winter wedding and look and feel like. Centerpieces can be alternated on dinner tables from dramatically tall branch designs, to intimately low ones with lanterns, wood and pine cones. Each design tells its own story of winter’s quiet beauty.
Let’s explore these 10 beautiful winter wedding centerpiece ideas

Beautiful Color Palettes Just for Winter Wonderland Weddings
We can elevate our wedding venue with specific color schemes that create a captivating winter wonderland theme. By focusing on wintery color palettes of whites, silvers, burgandy, evergreen, and blues to mimic a snowy landscape or rustic wedding feel.
