Impressive Centerpieces

Many holiday celebrations are centered around feasts and gatherings that call for drinks and heavy hors d'oeuvres. Floral centerpieces, like the Winter Wonderland, dress up these tables to make them look even more abundant. These centerpieces can be made with traditional flowers or practically anything that is fun and festive to you.

To give your holiday centerpiece the biggest glow-up, use a sparkly vase, anything with silver and gold, and don't shy away from going bold with your flowers and foliage. This is the time for loud colors and over-the-top beauty — there is no such thing as “too much” during the holidays!

Wreaths

In holiday decorations, plants and foliage are mainstays. In particular, holiday wreaths are excellent for decorating vertical spaces like doorways and walls. When it comes to beautifying a holiday party or the home for the season, use as many as you like. Whether you just want one for the front door or want to give your back door some glam too, there are plenty of wreaths to choose from. A wreath can also be placed on the table around a centerpiece to add even more “oomph” to your display.

Garlands

Derived from the Greek word “to sparkle”, the bold amaryllis is iconic of the holidays. This flower can be grown in your winter garden to add some desirable color to the landscape or enjoyed indoors as cut flowers or a potted plant. Amaryllis bulbs produce lush, colorful flowers and look elegant when standing alone with their long green stem in bold leaves. They are also a perfect complement to any elaborate holiday centerpiece.
