Simple Christmas Centerpieces(多图)

Simple Christmas Centerpieces Gorgeous holiday centerpieces don\'t always require a lot of time or expensive materials. Take inspiration from these beautiful arrangements that will wow your family and guests. All Boxed Up A rustic wooden toolbox lets a holiday centerpiece spread out. Stand pillar candles on supports like candleholders or even soup cans, so they are set at different heights. Next, add bowls or low containers of damp floral foam and arrange the greenery. A sweep of garland and a cardinal\'s birdnest add a final touch. Low Glow Real or artificial magnolia leaves (we gave ours a 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 and impressive! White Gold Large white hydrangea blooms fill a white pitcher or bowl with fresh floral splendor. We added seeded eucalyptus leaves and a few stalks of white snaps, and filled in with golden holiday ornaments on wires. Relaxed Holiday Brunch The setting for brunch reflects a relaxed country French approach to decorating. The dining room features a red-and-white color scheme as a backdrop. Be Jeweled Punctuate a foyer or entryway with a bouquet of embellished ornaments in classic red, black, and white set atop glass candlesticks or nestled inside a glass urn. Get the family involved in making the ornaments -- they can stick adhesive-backed gems onto glass balls. It\'s Easy Being Green Station an au naturel tree in a corner where it commands attention even with the minimal adornment of glimmering lights. Replace the usual sideboard with a cast-iron French garden table and accent it with fresh topiaries. Decorative Balls These decorative balls fashioned from red, green, and white Christmas light bulbs make a delightful low centerpiece when grouped en masse in a bowl along with a few glass-ball ornaments. Under Glass A clear glass cloche on a platter or tray plays host to a few perfect decorations: one stunning holiday ornament, a few sprigs of evergreens, and a single perfect rose. Keep the rose fresh by inserting the stem into a florist\'s water tube, which can be concealed under the greenery.
