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.
