How to arrange the centerpiece?
The simplest tip to highlight your creation is to install it on a table runner. To stick with Christmas 2023 decorating trends, you can favor a simple model in cotton or linen in a natural color. With a plain tablecloth, opt for a model enhanced with a graphic pattern in a contemporary decoration, or a tartan print in a traditional decoration.
The classic option is to take the term “table centerpiece” literally, by installing a pretty composition in the middle of the table. This is the preferred option for a round table, as well as for a small table.
We then play the tradition card, with an Advent wreath, or we opt for a more modern lighting decoration by installing a light garland under a bell – the glass globe being one of the essential decorative accessories for Christmas 2023. To create a more original model, combine containers of different formats.
Vintage colored glass bottles are perfect for diffusing, creating a dynamic composition and diffusing warm light.
The alternative is to create a composition running the entire length of the table. This solution allows you to create a centerpiece that all guests will enjoy, and it ensures a more balanced decor – particularly in the case of a rectangular table.
It is more suitable for medium and large tables. The combination of plant decoration and luminous elements constitutes the perfect tandem for Christmas! Opt for iconic Christmas designs, such as the miniature tree or the mushroom. Just be careful not to take up too much width: it’s important to have enough space to set the table!
The centerpiece is great, but it takes up space! If your table isn’t spacious enough, you can cheat a little.
When a pendant light or chandelier hangs over the table, you can, for example, decorate the light fixture.
And if this is not the case, simply adopt a decorative table bar! The black model has the ability to adapt to all situations, and you can count on it for Christmas and Halloween. However, it is possible to find very pretty golden models. Consider adjustable models, which will fit any table.
A centerpiece to eat
Chocolate, gingerbread and delicious dishes: the end of year celebrations are a rather delicious time! And to make New Year’s Eve dinner or Christmas lunch even tastier, why not create an appetizing centerpiece?
At 19e century, orange was a common Christmas present – firstly, because it was within the reach of all budgets, even the most modest, and also because it symbolized the sun in winter.
This has made it the iconic fruit of the end-of-year celebrations.
To create the centerpiece, we opt for dried orange slices or fruit studded with cloves, placed on a plant garland. To spice up your creation, you can add other elements such as cinnamon sticks, star anise, but also apples or walnuts.
Christmas gingerbread cookies are both delicious and very decorative. Across the Atlantic, they are frequently used to decorate the tree.
And why not to make a table centerpiece? To display fir trees, houses or a Christmas man, choose a pretty candy box filled with sugar, in which it is easy to place them without spoiling or damaging them. Add the final touch by adding a ribbon to the container!
