When putting together winter wedding centerpieces, you have more options than you might think. Winter brings its own magical charm, but it’s not exactly known for its abundant flora. You might think poinsettias and red roses are your only choices, but there’s a world of rich, jewel-toned flowers out there that are both beautiful and unique. The Junebug team especially loves the addition of anthurium, amaranth, or kiku into a centerpiece (quite the mouthful, but look them up—you’ll recognize them!).

And remember, winter centerpieces don’t have to be your standard floral arrangements in vases. Whether you’re drawn to timeless monochrome whites, rustic greenery, sparkling glass, or a mix of all three, winter centerpieces can bring that finishing touch to your reception decor. When styled thoughtfully, your tablescapes can add warmth, elegance, and that perfect wintery touch, transporting you and your guests to a wedding wonderland.

Our Favorite Winter Wedding Centerpieces

Statement Monochrome

Nothing says “winter magic” quite like a monochrome table decked in white. Imagine clouds of baby’s breath, delicate white blooms, and candles of varying heights and shapes, all in shades of off-white and soft cream. This look is simple but sophisticated. It’s a timeless choice that feels as romantic as the season itself.

Greenery

You can’t go wrong with greenery-centered centerpieces for a winter wedding. This look shines on farm tables, with garlands or foliage runners made of Norfolk pine, cedar, and spruce, bringing a nostalgic winter feel. Go with eucalyptus for a touch of modern farmhouse, or even moss to bring a mystical forest vibe right to your table. This style keeps things natural, simple, and completes the essence of winter.

Medley of Glass and Candles

Next, add a little sparkle and glow to your reception tables with a mix of crystal, glass, and candlelight. Use glass candle holders, vintage crystal pieces, and votives with softly flickering flames, all casting a magical glow. The play of light on glass gives that same romantic effect of delicate twinkle lights (a known crowd favorite.)

Bold Blooms with Winter Greens

Winter weddings bring to mind evergreens, and we love the look of hardy, needle-leaf greenery paired with soft, romantic blooms. Burgundy, crimson, and classic white florals—such as ranunculus, anemone, and lilies —add softness and warmth to the crisp winter greenery, creating a striking contrast that feels lush and fresh. Mixing these textures is a beautiful way to bring winter colors to life.

Dried Flowers and Branches

If you’re picturing a winter wedding with a boho touch, dried flowers and/or branches can bring it all together. Go with soft beige florals like strawflowers and preserved roses, paired with pampas grass, bunny tails, and amaranthus for earthy texture and subtle color. This muted palette feels just right for winter and pairs beautifully with any other colors you might want to add as accents.

A Little Bit of Everything

Can’t settle on just one style? Or are you looking for a really showstopping, one-of-a-kind centerpiece? Take a little inspiration from all of the above! We’ve seen breathtaking centerpieces that combine elements from all these winter themes— garlands with pops of colorful flowers or berries, a few white roses for softness, and pops of glass and candlelight to add sparkle. This layered approach creates a rich, dynamic look that’s full of texture.
