Nothing evokes the holidays quite like flickering candles.
For a traditional centerpiece that makes a big statement, gather pillar candles in varying heights and nestle them into a tray filled with pine branches, pinecones, and red berries.
The contrast of the bold red and green colors against the soft glow of the candles is so inviting.
Start with a silver tray or platter and line it with pine branches and pinecones to create a fragrant forest floor.
Use floral wire to attach berries, poinsettias, or other embellishments to the pine branches.
Group together 3-5 pillars candles in sizes ranging from 4 inches to over 1 foot tall.
Arrange the candles in a triangular pattern on the tray.
For more height variation, place the tallest candles on small glass candlesticks in the back and shorter ones up front.
If desired, scatter more pinecones, berries, and poinsettias around the base of the candles.
The simplicity of the white candles against the pine forest makes this a very easy, elegant centerpiece to create.
Just be sure to keep the pine and poinsettias watered well so they stay looking fresh throughout the holidays.
Add some shimmer and shine to your holiday table with a centerpiece runner adorned with glittery snowflakes.
This eye-catching design will blanket your table in icy sparkle.
For the base, use a long piece of burlap, jute, or linen edged with lace trim.
Attach cut-out paper snowflakes using a hot glue gun and generously coat the snowflakes with glitter glue for brilliant sparkle.
For extra dimension, layer different sizes of snowflakes.
Accent the runner with silver and white votive candles nestled among the snowflakes.
Sprigs of holly or pine branches can also be wired to the fabric runner for a touch of greenery.
Drape glittery bead garland along the edges for even more festive shine.
Lay the dazzling snowflake runner down the center of your holiday table for an elegant statement centerpiece that reflects the shimmering beauty of the winter season.
The neutral burlap backdrop lets the glistening snowflakes really shine.
Create a gorgeous, natural centerpiece with chunky birch log candle holders.
Dotted with red candles, this earthy design will infuse your table with cozy cabin vibes.
Start by gathering birch logs, cut into 3-4 inch cross section slices.
Sand and stain the wood slices if desired.
Press short red taper candles into the center of each wood slice, sinking them into the soft pith.
Arrange the birch log candle holders down the center of your holiday table, alternating the heights and patterns of the wood slices for visual interest.
For fresh greens, nestle noble fir, cedar, pine, and juniper sprigs in between the birch logs.
Accent with pinecones, gold-sprayed oranges, and clusters of cranberries for pops of crimson.
The woodsy, outdoorsy aroma of the fir, pine, and candles is so inviting.
Let guests light the candles for a gorgeous glow.
This nature-inspired centerpiece brings lovely rustic charm to holiday tables.
For a playful, festive centerpiece, deck out a tray with Christmas ornaments for a vibrant pop of color.
This kid-friendly project is a fun way to involve little ones in creating the holiday table decor.
Start with a metal baking sheet, silver platter, or mirrored tray.
Line it with cotton batting or faux snow for a wintry base.
Next, creatively arrange a variety of Christmas ornaments, scattering them across the tray.
Choose a color theme or stick to just silver, gold, and white for a classic look.
For lots of color and whimsy, use a mixture of round balls, pinecones, bells, snowflakes, stars, and other novelty ornaments in all different colors and textures.
Make it a family activity by letting the kids select their favorite ornaments to add in.
Nestle string lights, battery operated candles, or small potted evergreens in and around the ornaments for dimension.
The light will bounce beautifully off the shiny ornaments, creating holiday sparkle.
What a fun, cheerful way to enjoy your treasured ornaments all season long!
