Step into an intimate woodland scene where two reindeer share a magical moment of love at first sight.
Versatile and distinctive, this centerpiece is well-suited for winter weddings, seasonal events, and holiday dinners for a touch of cozy charm and whimsical enchantment.
Quirky, cozy attire and expressive postures distinguish two love-struck reindeer captured in a moment of "love at first sight."
A collection of natural birch wood & evergreen tree candles of varying heights and textures creates a layered, enchanted forest effect.
A small, burlap-wrapped tree with warm lights at the center enhances the forest setting and adds a magical glow.

Special Equipment

Prepare Candleholders
- Here are some quick tips to bring this festive love story to life on your table.
- First, we need to drill taper candle holes into the top of each log of the 3-tier tealight candle holders.
- Clamp each log of the candleholder before drilling to hold in place.
- Use the 7/8" bit or spade to drill a socket into the top of each birch log about 3/4" to 1" deep.
- If you plan to use open flames, I like to use fire retardant spray on the wood elements.
Set the Scene
- Set the tone for a woodland setting with a bold, green-and-black plaid table runner.
- Add a splash of red with a sash, ribbon, or fabric around the base of the burlap pot and place in the center.
- Build a forest with the spruce tree candles & birch slices, arranged for depth and texture.
- For the birch candleholders, trim the taper candles to fit, if necessary, and hot glue in place.
- Place the reindeer at an angle, slightly tilted toward each other, to create a sense of motion.
- Complete the scene by placing the carved wood mushroom and a spruce tree candle at each end.
- This centerpiece is designed to look basically the same from the front and reverse sides.
Guest Experience
- Tie it all together by repeating the gray & red colors in the reindeer outfits at each place setting.
- Roll gray napkins and bind with primitive-style red metal bell ornaments.
Light it up!
- Optionally, light the spruce tree candles for a little more sparkle.
Tell a story and make it memorable.
