Are these too Christmasy looking?

My color is red and I saw these in the Restoration Hardware catalog.

My wedding is in October, but do not want a Fall Theme. Do you think these look too Christmasy? I am thinking they do, but I thought I'd ask...

I have 3 mantles to decorate....

Re: Are these too Christmasy looking?

I think they are lovely, but quite in a holiday mode. Have you considered trailing ivy -- simple and elegant for a mantle, possibly with some pillar candles?

I like them but not for October. Where did you get that catalog? I have never heard of that catalog before. I was just wondering if they had pics for a snowflake or winter theme wedding.

I usually get the catalog in the mall. There's a store in Roosevelt Field as well as at least one in Manhattan

Oooh, love this look! This is what our mantle looks like at home except the mirror is distressed sort of platinum and the frames are silver. I love that look!

Re: Are these too Christmasy looking?

OK, can I provide some unsolicited advice?
Check out Pottery Barn -- they have some awesome silver plated frames (I collect silver ones but for the wedding you will not want to worry about that) including some really cute wedding themed ones. Also, we get lots of ours at estate sales -- I like the genuinely antinue ones and they are all a little unique. The second link is for an I do frame -- so cute for your cake table!http://ww2.potterybarn.com/cat/pip.cfm?src=shpcaccfrafrm%7Crshop%2Fthmaaccfra%7Ccthmfav%7Cnshop%7Crgift%5Cfthm%2Fshpcaccfra%7Crshop%2Fshpcacc%7Crshop&pkey=caccfrafrm&gids=p3943 http://ww2.potterybarn.com//cat/pip.cfm?
