Ideas:
White lights or Icicle lights can add an elegant flair to the reception
hall (particularly outside).
Decorate Evergreen trees (Christmas trees) in your color theme color. If
the wedding is a winter wedding but you do not want to decorate like you
would for Christmas- use a color theme other than Red & Green.

a spring or summer time wedding and you can hold it outside- do! Let nature
do most of the decorating. Having a May Pole can be fun. Also, having flower
garlands in the bridesmaids, maid of honor, and flower girl’s hair is a
very nice touch. If a winter time wedding, use dark, rich fabrics for the
wedding party’s attire. Light the hall with many, many candles.

Forest Green & Silver (White or Gold work well too)

Ideas:
-
Nutcracker Theme--Nutcrackers have an elegant and official air about
them. If your reception is very formal but you want to have something
Christmas related and a little fun- decorating with nutcrackers might
be a good idea.
- Gingerbread--Have
a gingerbread replica made of the church you were married in. This would
work really well if the church had stained glass windows. The gingerbread
church could have candy stained glass windows.
