Christmas-y centerpieces

So we're getting married on 12/9 and the colors are crimson, hunter green, and slate with mercury glass accents. What do y'all think about these centerpieces? Are they too Christmas-y? I'm trying to find something cost effective that's still really pretty! They would be just like this with the...

So we're getting married on 12/9 and the colors are crimson, hunter green, and slate with mercury glass accents.

What do y'all think about these centerpieces? Are they too Christmas-y? I'm trying to find something cost effective that's still really pretty!

They would be just like this with the mercury glass votives but have Christmas greens sitting around them instead of rose petals. And we're having white table cloths Smiley smile

    I mean, I definitely think Christmas when I see them (not a bad thing, I love Christmas), but it's not like santa, reindeer, etc. That would be over the top Christmas-y. I like them, it fits your theme.

    Date twin!!! I love your centerpieces. We were worried about being too christmas-y. So we didn't go with reds and greens, but I love yours!

    I like them, and they do seem Christmas-y but not overboard. My wedding is as close to Christmas as possible without actually being on the day so I obviously love Christmas! Cheers to another December bride!

    I would say they are season appropriate, not too Christmas-y. Too Christmas-y would be ornaments and snowflakes and all that falalalalala stuff...

    I mean, they are obviously Christmas colors, but they are beautiful and perfect for a wedding.

    Personally, I love Christmas and wouldn't mind the Christmas overload lol! If that's what you're going for then this is great.

    I absolutely love it! Very classy. Just make sure you're allowed to light candles in your venue - some venues can be strict about that.

    I had a Christmas wedding and we had two Christmas trees at the altar and holly/mistletoe/wreaths all over. Our centerpieces were short and tall winter flowers, though I went back and forth on centerpieces like yours.

    There was another bride here who had miniature Christmas trees as her centerpieces and last we heard from her, she was ordering two 18-foot trees from a local Christmas tree farm for her altar. She never did a BAM so I'm not sure how it turned out, but I believe this photo was her inspo.

    Elizabeth- I bet your wedding was beautiful! I'd love to see it. Did you post a BAM if I searched for it? I've had a hard time finding Christmas-themed weddings that aren't cheesy.

    And holy moly those are huge trees! Hmmmm now I'm thinking maybe I should have some trees too lol! We're getting married inside under the huge cross window that we love, but trees on either side might look good Smiley smile

    AllieCat- Thanks Smiley smile Yes, we can as long as they're in a container (i.e. no candle sticks)

    I think they're really pretty and if you don't mind Christmasy- then go for it! but they are something I would expect to see as a centerpiece at a Christmas party too.

    Nessa- Thank you! Unpopular opinion, but I'm over pale, muted color pallets for weddings Smiley tongue I still think blush pink/gold/white/etc. is still super pretty for weddings but I want mine to be vidid and bright! And our wedding date made choosing the color pallet pretty easy haha

    Kaylen, that photo was the inspiration the other poster used. My wedding also had two trees at the altar, but not that majestic. Our venue was picked more for sentimental reasons (it's where we fell in love) and the ceilings weren't high enough for big trees. I did post a BAM though.
