10 Exotic Centerpieces for the Holidays
1. Shoe Magic - Buy gleaming fuchsia (stylish) or red (festive) colored high heeled glass bottom stilettos and fill one of it with flowers of appropriate size for a trendy table top which will set the stage for a trendy, modern theme.
2. Quick Centerpiece - Fill a goblet with cranberries and tie a bow at its stem for a quick, festive table top.
3. Candle & Sand - Fill a clear glass bowl with colored sand (available at craft stores) and stick red or white or a combination of red-white or red-green candles in the sand. Use about 10 candles and arrange them creatively. Light all of the candles together for a lovely shining effect.
4. Tabletop Trees - Mini Christmas trees make lovely tabletops. Artificial trees can be bought or crafted. We have some Christmas Tree crafts at our Crafts section. Alternatively, you can also buy a baby Christmas tree or use a branch of a tree and decorate it in the same fashion as you would decorate your Christmas tree.
5. Snow Globes - Snow Globes or Snow domes lend a whimsical touch to your room. Use them on your table for a touch of fantasy. You can make a snow dome yourself using easy-to-follow Snow Domes instructions.
6. Ornament Glitter - Fill clear glass bowls or baskets (tied with a red bow) with Christmas baubles in bright red, green or blue and glittering silver and golden colors for a sparkly tabletop.
7. Candle and Bloom - Place 4-5 pillar candles of same color (preferably white) but different sizes in a plate. Place a poinsettia or any red flower and a twig of holly in the same plate. Light all the candles.
8. Snowy Village - Just like snow domes, a Thomas Kinkade or any other snow village scene compiled with snow clad buildings and tree replicas, available easily in stores, will bring lots of holiday cheer and fantasy to your table.
9. Hurricanes and Votives - Fill glass hurricanes with scarlet cranberries and red roses and flank the hurricanes with votives.
10. Tapers and Tulips - Creamy white tulips in silver cups flanking a candelabra filled with white tapers make simply sensational centerpieces. For more Fresh and Dry Holiday Flower Arrangements, visit our site.
I need some ideas for a winter wedding theme for my reception my colors are brown and a fern green and im wanting to do a wow for the reception any advice would help
chelsey,
i could imagine stepping into a wedding reception done in brown and fern ( which reminds me of walking in a snow covered forest) i would gather or buy branches in white or brown. you can go to a craft store and buy spray ice ( which shimmers like crystals and snow) then suspend icy looking pinecones from the branches. if you choose you could buy some fake spray snow ( not the christmas tree snow but the arts and crafts spray snow ; and put a little build up on the branches here and there. overhead have glistening snowflakes supsended from fishing line. ( over the dance floor) place candles everywhere. the candlelight will bounce off the icy branches and pinecones. check out saveoncrafts.com they will have some of the most inexpensive craft supplies.

Mary, we don’t sell tulle, but you can buy it affordably on ebay (or a craft store). Tulle in celadon is difficult to find. Mint is too blue, and hunter green is too dark. The closest common color is probably sage. You can usually find large bolts of sage tulle at ebay for a good price.
Hi , I was wondering if you had specific shades of tulle. It is called celedin?? An “off” green color. and a pinkish shade, dull.
Do you have a color chart you can send to me to see??
thank you… Mary :D)
