Winter Decorations for Gifts or Tablescapes
Time: 15 minutes | Season: Winter
Christmas is fast approaching and it is a great opportunity to bring nature into our homes, from a traditional Christmas tree, mistletoe sprigs to wreaths on the front door. The Christmas table is the heart of every festive season. It is a place where families gather together to celebrate what is the most wonderful time of year.
In this tutorial, I will share with you how to create a table centrepiece using a combination of flowers and candles in a beautiful log styled container.
Tips: There are lots of different themes that you can adopt within your compositions depending on your clients brief to bring their Christmas table to life. From winter wonderland, incorporating frosty blues, whites and silver to traditional reds and golds to solely embracing just evergreen foliage. This design is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit the brief!
If you would like to recreate this design, you will need the following:
| Quantity | Plant Materials / Equipment |
|---|---|
| 1 pair | Scissors AND Secateurs |
| 1 | Container (rectangle) |
| 1 reel | Chicken Wire |
| 2 | Candle Holders (to fit candles) |
| 2 | Candles (of choice) |
| 1 bunch | Pistache |
| 1/2 stem | Blue Spruce |
| 3-5 | Pine cones (on sticks or wired) |
| 1 bunch | Conifer (or alternative) |
Thank you so much for watching this demonstration. I hope you have enjoyed creating this design and can take away some useful tips and tricks to use within your own compositions.
Christmas will be here before we know it, so it is important to start planning the designs that you are going to be creating, whether it be in your own home or selling designs to prospective clients.
