Whether your taste in centrepieces is traditional or modern, formal or fuss-free, I have got you some beautiful ideas for the star of your drawing room.
To know more:
Petite With a Teapot
Incorporate family heirlooms by crafting a sweet centrepiece using an inherited (or thrifted) antique teapot, surrounded by other vintage finds, like this pair of porcelain quail. For a colourful display, we filled our teapot with seeded eucalyptus, fern fronds, large and small chrysanthemums and hypericum berries.
Go Big With Stacked Baskets
A pair of nested baskets, floral foam and a few blooms from the store or your backyard are all you need to craft this florist quality stunner.
Beauty on a Budget
This gorgeous centrepiece thats the cranberry-filled vase, we employed an easy trick: place a smaller dollar-store glass cylinder inside a larger one, then pour fresh cranberries into the gap between the two vases. For the flowers, we mixed a few grocery-store blooms with dried millet and faux dill blooms. Silk and dried flowers can be used year after year, making them a great way to stretch your holiday decorating budget.
Opt for Asymmetry
While a perfectly balanced, symmetrical table is certainly beautiful, asymmetry lends a more dynamic look. For our centrepiece, we created a layered effect that incorporates the romance of candlelight with the rustic textures of wood and lots of fall colour via an assortment of fresh and faux gourds, silk sunflowers and dried seed pods.
Get Tips From Our Pro
Putting together a gorgeous centrepiece may seem intimidating but, really, it's far simpler than you may think. Before shelling out big bucks at your local florist
Make a Ship-Shape Centrepiece
The mast and sail then place it in a long, low container filled with snacks your guests can enjoy before the big meal.
Try a Modern Twist
The idea of a traditional Thanksgiving cornucopia a modern twist with this sumptuous arrangement. I used wet floral foam to anchor an assortment of greenery scavenged from her backyard along with splashes of colour courtesy of ornamental cabbage, dahlias and persimmon branches.
Chic Silver Centrepiece
If in doubt, try this centrepiece formula: holiday serving dish + sparkling ornaments + greenery. Here, a footed silver bowl is filled with glass balls amidst a spray of eucalyptus branches. Well-placed Christmas lights add seasonal highlights.
Reflective Quality
For an elegant display, surround a glass hurricane with glass ornaments in reflective hues, like the silver and blue ones here. To pull the centrepiece together, use a white serving platter as the base. Photo courtesy of Katrina Giles.
