Looking for some holiday centerpiece ideas? Here’s some inspiration from the folks at REAL SIMPLE magazine, using easy-to-find elements and just a few key pieces for each design. This goes to show how beautiful simplicity can be!
Who knew produce could make such a great centerpiece? The key is in the way you display it: For a modern feel, group the same types of edibles together in tight bunches or think geometrically and line them up in neat rows. These centerpieces would look great on your Thanksgiving table…
With their bright colors and cool bottle designs, a group of Izze soda on display always makes for great party decór…
Groups of faux “gifts” have always been one of my favorite easy centerpieces. I like how they stacked a bunch of small boxes together to create the gifts in the photo below.
