The Christmas centerpiece with logs
Wooden logs are perfect for decorating a beautiful Christmas decoration. They bring us back to the enchanted universe, the forest and nature by offering a very authentic spirit .
Under the table or under the glass, the wooden logs will feed your centerpiece for a naturally chic effect.
The candles
Candles help create warmth and create an intimate atmosphere . They are therefore perfect to integrate on your table.
Mixed with foliage or natural elements, the result will be perfect for a chic Christmas decor.
If you have young children around the table, you always have the option of electronic candles.
For a chic decor, I do not recommend colored candles but rather the classic and traditional light of a white candle.
Another option: string lights hidden under fir branches. A great way to warm up the atmosphere discreetly.
The decoration in the vases
You certainly have vases at home. Big ones, small ones and more or less wide ones. Why not use them to enrich your centerpiece?
You can fill them with fir branches or bread cones with a candle in the center. The advantage of the candle in the vase? It’s that there are fewer risks on the table… A good point when you have children!
Christmas balls as decoration
Another type of economical decoration: Christmas balls. We often have a panoply of them that we don’t necessarily use every year.
A few small Christmas balls in the color of your theme can be enough to decorate your centerpiece.
Snow bomb
For a traditional spirit, do not hesitate to add snow bombs to your foliage and fir branches. A small detail that brings a lot to your centerpiece.
In summary
- For a successful Christmas centerpiece, use nature, branches, bread cones, candles.
- Match the colors of your decoration and have fun!
