When you think of decorating for the holidays or creating a centerpiece for your table, you might think of evergreens, holly, pine cones, and berries before thinking of flowers. However, incorporating flowers into your holiday designs gives your decor an unexpected and memorable twist. You certainly aren’t limited to poinsettias, either!
Arrangements that include more than just flowers can also make a great centerpiece for the holidays. Leaves, feathers, acorns, and fruit are items you can use in different ways. Experiment with colors and textures, even adding elements you wouldn’t typically think of including in a floral arrangement. The finished effect can be surprising and eye-catching.
There’s no hard and fast rule that says your centerpiece has to be on the table. Look up and around and take advantage of accessories already present in the room. The materials in your arrangement an reflect the colors of the holiday without being composed of the typical trappings. The chandelier below is the perfect example of making an unexpected jump and decorating for the season without being literal. The green and red pieces evoke the holidays in a traditional, yet unexpected way.
