Festive Christmas Wedding Table Decoration Ideas

There’s something undeniably enchanting about a Christmas wedding. With the sparkle of fairy lights, the warmth of candlelight, and the festive joy already in the air, it’s the perfect season to say “I do.” One of the easiest ways to capture that magic is through your wedding tables — they’re where your guests will spend much of the evening, so they deserve some extra attention. From charming place cards to glittering confetti, here’s how to style your Christmas wedding tables beautifully with a little help from Dotty about Paper.

Your wedding table decoration begins with your colour palette. Traditional Christmas tones like red, gold, and green are always a hit, but modern couples are embracing winter whites, silver accents, and soft champagne tones for a more elegant look. Burgundy paired with cream or deep green with gold detailing also create a luxurious, festive feel.

Once you’ve chosen your colours, carry them throughout your stationery and accessories. Dotty about Paper offers beautifully coordinated place cards, menus, and table numbers in a variety of designs — from classic and traditional to modern and minimalist — so you can bring your theme together effortlessly.

A Christmas wedding wouldn’t be complete without a bit of glitter! Subtle shimmer and sparkle can elevate even the simplest table setting. Scatter table confetti across your tables to catch the candlelight and create an elegant glisten that ties your décor together. Choose snowflake-shaped confetti for a winter wonderland look or metallic gold hearts for a more romantic festive theme.

For added glamour, use wine bottle labels to turn your reception drinks into part of your decoration. Personalised labels are a lovely way to add a festive twist to your table and make your wedding feel truly unique.

Lighting plays a key role in the atmosphere of a Christmas wedding. Opt for flickering candlelight to create warmth and romance. Tall pillar candles in glass vases, tea lights in frosted holders, or even small lanterns filled with fairy lights will help your tables feel cosy and magical.

To complement the glow, choose stationery with metallic foil details or soft shimmer finishes. These little touches will reflect the light and make your tables sparkle, perfect for evening celebrations.

Guests love feeling thought of, and personalised details are a wonderful way to show appreciation. Start with place cards printed with each guest’s name — not only do they look elegant, but they also help keep your seating organised. Pair them with matching menu cards that introduce the delicious meal ahead and table numbers that match your wedding stationery design.

For a thoughtful surprise, include a lottery ticket holder at each place setting. These are a fun and festive wedding favour that’s sure to get everyone smiling — especially if someone wins! Choose a design that matches your theme for a cohesive, stylish look across your table décor.

Centrepieces are the heart of your wedding tables, and at Christmas, you can truly let your creativity shine. Combine traditional red roses and holly with pinecones, berries, and evergreen sprigs for a natural, seasonal look. For a more glamorous feel, add touches of gold ribbon or crystal candle holders.

If you’d like to incorporate your stationery into your centrepieces, add a small frame or card with your table number design, or place favour tags on miniature Christmas crackers or gift boxes for your guests. This not only ties your theme together but also adds a layer of personalisation that feels both festive and thoughtful.

Small details often make the biggest difference. A few strands of table confetti scattered across crisp white linens can create instant sparkle. Favour tags tied to little gifts or jars of festive treats add a handmade charm. You can even match your wine bottle labels and menu cards to your invitation design for a seamless flow from start to finish.

And don’t forget your table numbers — beautifully printed and displayed in holders or frames, they help guests find their seats while enhancing your table décor.

Your table design should reflect your overall wedding aesthetic, so try to carry your theme across every detail. If your invitations feature a winter foliage design or shimmering snowflakes, echo that same pattern on your place cards, menus, and table numbers.
