This arrangement captures the season's essence by combining elegant, snowy-white roses and rustic, deeply-colored pine and other evergreen branches.
To create this arrangement at home, start by placing full pine branches into a clear vase to create the framework of the piece, make sure you remove any foliage or needles that will end up below the water line, then intersperse white roses throughout. Add pine cones or holly as accents for an extra pop of color and texture.
This holiday season, why not create your own lush, festive, and bold table centerpiece? Start by weaving a variety of evergreen foliage around a circular wreath base until it forms a complete circle. Weave or glue in your chosen berries, pine cones, holly, seed pods, or baubles. You can also buy a small premade wreath and augment it with additional holiday greens, cones, small ornaments, etc.
Once you're satisfied with the arrangement, place it in the center of your table and add a candle to give your dining room a soft, warm glow.
Did you know Poinsettias make a great cut flower?! They do!!! Poinsettias have long been praised as a holiday staple due to their rich, vibrant red color. They also come in a wide variety of other festive colors; white, pinks, coral, and even speckled.
To use as a cut flower, simply cut a stem from the plant and sear the end with a flame to keep it from oozing its milky white sap. Remove the foliage that would end up below the water line and arrange as you would any other flower.
You can add festive flair to your poinsettias, whether in a vase or a pot, using silver-painted twigs or ornaments as accents throughout the piece. To complete the look, place your arrangement in a silver or white container or vase.
For a fun, whimsical holiday arrangement, just add candy canes! Especially if you have kids. They pair exceptionally well with white hydrangea as well as other full white flowers.
To create this at home, start by placing white hydrangeas in your favorite clear vase. Add other white flowers if desired and then inset several candy canes into the arrangement as accents. For an extra festive touch, add some ribbon or red ornaments to the arrangement. You can also line the sides of the vase with candy canes. You will need two matching vases, one slightly larger than the other. Fill the smaller vase with water and place inside the larger vase. Place candy canes along the perimeter of the vase in the space between the two vases. This way the candy canes don’t get wet and once the arrangement fades, you can still eat the candy canes!
Inspired by a wintertime walk in the woods, this piece uses local natural elements such as branches, berries, neutral-toned flowers, and rich greenery to create a more natural-looking holiday arrangement.
You can make this piece at home by gathering foliage from around your home. Arrange branches, berries, wildflowers, and other natural elements of your choosing in a rustic pot, and use spare holiday decorations to add some extra flair.
You can bring a modern twist to your home’s appearance by using non-traditional colors as accents to break up your green, red, and white decor. Tones that are bold yet cheerful, such as vibrant oranges, deep purples, and rich blues, are the perfect candidates for a bold arrangement.
The best way to incorporate your chosen color is by creating a monochromatic arrangement and adding a few traditional holiday staples, such as holly branches, greenery, or Christmas tree ornaments. You can also complement bold arrangements using natural, neutral-toned elements like pinecones.
Using dried flowers in your holiday flower arrangement will surely add a unique texture to your piece. Combine dried flowers with fresh elements such as roses, pine, holly, or lavender in a tall, neutral-colored vase.
Since the dried flowers are preserved, you can repurpose them in new arrangements every couple of weeks.
