Holiday Centerpieces For Your Special Occasion

By Ava McCormick


Choosing and making holiday centerpieces does not have to be a challenge. Sometimes the simplest and least inexpensive arrangements will have the biggest impact on guests. Just look around your home or business to assess what you already have and spend a few more dollars on creating magical and creative decorations that will draw admiring comments from your friends and family.

A colorful poinsettia or a pot of mums on an interesting octagonal mirror in the middle of each table creates a live arrangement that can be used over and over again. Add votive or tea candles around the base in the evenings to create a more dramatic display. Stagger the same plants on covered crates and boxes in the middle of buffet tables for a simple but unique centerpiece.

Clear glass hurricanes can be utilized in a variety of ways to make extraordinary displays. Place a clear glass plate of any color in the middle of your guest table and place a glittery pillar candle on it. Place the glass hurricane over for an instant decoration. Add colorful wreaths or either real or artificial ivy around the base for more interest.

You can use this same concept again by positioning a pillar candle in the middle of a bubble bowl and surrounding the base of the candle inside the bowl with holiday accents. Utilize items that will match your color and decorating scheme such as colored marbles, mini holiday ornaments, or pine cones. Candy such as red hots, jelly beans or hard mints are also a unique and interesting touch.

A super-simple decoration is an arrangement of tall, unusually shaped candles in the middle of each table. Place the candles of varying heights together on a gold, silver, black or red charger for an dramatic statement. The candles can all be one color or a variety of hues depending on your decorating scheme. Tuck holly leaves, small ornaments or tiny holiday figurines at the base to add a personal touch.

Small bubble bowls or open glass containers with wide mouths can become truly elegant decorations when filled with water with a layer of colored stones on the bottom and a gorgeous open rose bloom floating at the top. To make sure the roses are opened enough when ready to use, just place the stems in warm water a few hours beforehand. Snip the stems closely to the bottom of the flower and place in the water in the receptacle for a lovely conversation piece.

Ceramic villages and figurines of angels, nutcrackers or elves can be made into quick and easy arrangements for your guest tables. Add artificial snow or mirrors underneath to create a truly unique and personal display. They can be put back on their shelves and brought out again year after year for the same purpose.

Holiday centerpieces do not have to be difficult. During this season, there are so many other pressing demands that it is reassuring that these decorations will be arranged so quickly and easily. Your family or guests will love them and be impressed by your creativity and skill.
