Christmas Centrepieces: How to Create the Perfect Floral Table Display
Start with a Theme
Traditional themes often feature rich reds, fresh greens, and snowy whites, while modern styles might include gold, silver, or even icy blues. If you’re going for a rustic look, eucalyptus or pine branches add a natural, earthy touch. Elegant themes pair beautifully with red roses and sparkling gold accents.
A cohesive theme ties your entire table together and sets the tone for your gathering.
Choose the Right Flowers
These timeless blooms exude holiday charm. Seasonal additions like amaryllis or hydrangeas can add depth and interest.
Don’t overlook greenery—it’s the base of any festive arrangement. Holly leaves, ivy, or pine sprigs provide fullness and texture. Add berries or pinecones for a pop of colour and a nod to the season.
Perfect the Size and Shape
For rectangular tables, long and low arrangements work best, while compact, circular designs suit round tables. Tall arrangements with slim bases can add drama to your table without obstructing conversation.
Always leave room for serving dishes and place settings to ensure your centrepiece is practical as well as beautiful.
Add a Personal Touch
For a family celebration, consider incorporating keepsakes or decorations that reflect your traditions. These thoughtful additions make your centrepiece truly unique and unforgettable.
Keep It Fresh
Keep your flowers in a cool place before the event, change the water daily, and lightly mist the flowers to maintain hydration. If you’re using greenery, spritz it with water to keep it lush and vibrant.
With a little care, your centrepiece will remain the star of your table.
