Stunning Christmas Table Centerpiece, Easy as 1, 2, 3…

Submitted by Carmen Natschke - Editor, The Decorating Diva LLC on Tuesday, 3 October 2006

  • Wide Slightly Shallow Container
  • Floral Foam
  • 10 pine-branches
  • 3” -5” Diam. Orange candle (non-scented)
  • 6 Slices of dried orange
  • 4 Dried pomegranates—small
  • 2 Mandarins– small
  • 10—20 Cranberries
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • Orange satin ribbon
  • Gold glitter Spray

Insert the floral foam into your container. Add water and allow the foam to soak for 10 minutes. Insert the pine branches in to form the base. Place the candle in the middle and add the
cranberries, pomegranates, and the mandarins in a decorative fashion around the candle.

Cut the cinnamon sticks into 2 or 3 pieces and tie all them with some orange satin ribbon. Arrange the slices of dried orange and finished cinnamon sticks around the other items.
Tie a ribbon around the base of the candle. Spray the end of the pine-branches with the gold glitter to finish off the centerpiece.

The pine branches are long lasting and your table display will last for 2 to 4 weeks as long as you continue to water the arrangement. To do so easily leave a small opening in the arrangement
where you can gently pour water into the container without disturbing the dry design elements.

NOTE: When using candles in décor—NEVER EVER leave a burning candle unattended.

    […] Holiday Décor : Your guest’s first impression will also be the most lasting so remember to wow them as they come in the door. Decorate your entry-way with beautiful floral arrangements and soft candle lights. Set the mood from the moment they step inside and continue it as they continue their journey to the “party room”. Don’t forget to add drama and beauty to your table by using festive table linens and settings. Try one of our centerpiece ideas or order one from your favorite florist. Remember to order early so you won’t have to deal with last minute rushes and headaches. […]
