With the holidays right around the corner, (as much as you might be in denial, it's true!), we're loving when people want creative centerpieces! Punch bowls, pewter pitchers, large wooden containers, and more... we can fill it with fresh flowers and accents to fit any home. While the pine and amaryllis centerpieces we've started doing are gorgeous, it's also fun to step outside of the box when it comes to the holidays, and design using fruits and vegetables, candles, pinecones and more. Check out some ideas below and let us help spice up your holiday arrangements!
Use a cool apothecary vase and fill it with a variety of "wintery" accents... pine cones, cranberries, chestnuts, etc. You can even spray paint some of the nuts and pinecones gold or silver to jazz it up a little!
A cool wooden container looks full and unique with citrus and greens. Press some cloves into oranges, (use a toothpick to poke holes in the skin first), and make your own orange pomanders! The fresh orange scent, combined with the cloves, is a festive aroma that's not overpowering.
It's like a seven-layer dip in a vase! Using different fruits and berries, create rows in a taller vase for a colorful and unconventional holiday look. Top it off with some pine to ensure a holiday feel, or even throw some silver ball ornaments on top.
Garland isn't just for the mantel! Use long pieces of pine or magnolia garland - fresh or artificial - and wind it down or around your dining room table. Scatter some votive candles throughout, or, like the picture below, use glass cylinders containing cranberries to hold your candles for a pop of color and a bit of height to your tablescape.
We're sure that no matter what your table decor looks like over the holidays, it's going to be beautiful! As always, let us know if we can help. Happy December 1st!
