“We decided on this theme because my daughter is a ballerina, and the Nutcracker season was approaching. I wanted to give her a winter wonderland theme from the snow scene in the ballet,” said the mom.  

Her daughter added: “My favorite part of Christmas is seeing snow and the fantasy of a wonderland.”

Furthermore, include Christmas trees of varying sizes and colors, chair covers made of white tulle for a voluminous effect, and glass vases filled with silver and blue balls.

“The most important element is to create a flower centerpiece that captures the event’s theme using elements related to Christmas,” she said. “You can add a deer or a bear. Or a small white tree branch with fairy lights.”

Aside from the traditional white, red and green incorporate alternative colors for a different touch

If you desire alternative colors beyond white, red, or green, the entrepreneur suggests sky blue, royal blue, rose, silver, emerald green, and gold.
