Nobody forgets about decorating the Christmas tree, the mantle and even the yard. But Christmas table easy to miss...so many things to consider: centerpieces, candles, napkins, etc. Of course, it will be full of delicious food !! but a beautiful table really sets the mood for a wonderful evening, whether you're dining with family or a group of friends.
This centerpiece filled with seasonal, natural elements is versatile enough for any holiday occasion. Simply fill a large, low bowl with boxwood, pinecones, and white hyacinth.
Centerpieces usually run the length of the table. For something different, keep the centerpiece in the middle of the table, but stretch it across the width instead. Here, evergreen boughs drape across the table horizontally and are accented with pretty red flowers and white berry sprigs.
This centerpiece idea is great if you have a large dining table. Set a wreath down on the table and place various candlesticks in the center and around the outside of it. Note the height variations from low votives to a tall hurricane candle.
To make fresh floral centerpiece, fill a silver ice bucket with soaked florist's foam. Insert pine branches (in this case they arch down and touch the tabletop). Next, insert groups of fresh flowers, a few pinecones attached to sturdy wire picks for stability.
Real or artificial magnolia leaves (you can givea quick spritz of gold paint) are set on a flat platter to form the foundation for an arrangement of holiday ornaments and tiny berry sprigs. Easy, impressive, and depending on the color of the bulbs matches any interior.
Flowers are lovely additions to any party table setting. You can place a red rose, small evergreen, or even a silk flower under the napkin ring.
Top the greenery from your Christmas tree or an evergreen in your garden, and use leftover ribbon from your gift-wrap stash.
Tell what is your favorite decoration. How do you prepare your special Holiday table...
Happy decorating!!
