The holidays are almost here and now is the perfect time to start thinking about decorating for those upcoming holiday gatherings and parties. Adding a floral arrangement to your holiday table is a beautiful way to bring a bit of nature and color to your space. Here are few tips to help you put together a beautiful and unique holiday centerpiece.

Pick the Right Size for the Table

The size of your table largely determines the size of the centerpiece. For buffet or serving tables, consider using taller flowers and greenery that can still attract attention amidst the food. At the dining table, make sure the centerpiece does not interfere with your guests’ line of sight when they’re sitting down. However, make sure it’s not too small either; after all, you still want it to draw attention and enhance your holiday décor. Just make sure there’s room for everyone’s plates, glasses, and silverware without the table feeling cluttered.

Incorporate Seasonal Items

When designing a holiday centerpiece, you’ll want to use in-season items. Fresh pine, holly, and even seasonal squash help create a wintery feel on any table. Add candles for additional light and your favorite white flowers to brighten the deep green of the display. Seasonal fruits like pomegranates and pears are a great way to add a pop of color without adding scents which could overpower the smell of your holiday meal. When spring and summer holidays roll around, use brighter flowers and seasonal fruits. 

Branch Out from Plants

Your holiday display does not need to be made entirely of plants. Remember, the holidays are supposed to be fun, and you’re free to incorporate anything you want into your floral arrangement. Add a festive touch by arranging ornaments around the display. To bring winter indoors, sprinkle a bit of fake snow on top of your greenery. The only limit is your imagination.
