THE EASIEST CHRISTMAS CENTERPIECES DIY AND A BEAUTIFUL WREATH GIVEAWAY

| 407 Comments

Oh, my friends, I have such a brilliant idea for creating simple, yet magnificent Christmas centerpieces today! I wondered as I was putting two of the easiest Centerpieces you will ever create, “Why didn’t I think of this earlier”?!!! And if you love fresh green in your home here is a way of making stunning arrangements without all the work and mess. Let’s make these easiest Christmas Centerpieces!

Don’t forget to enter to win this MAJESTIC MAGNOLIA WREATH at the bottom of this post…

Today I’m thirlled to be a part of…

Please visit the beautiful blogs at the bottom of this page! Their arrangements are breathtaking and they have lots of Christmas decorating ideas for you!

But first, let me show you how easy it is to make a Christmas centerpiece!

 

 

This pretty centerpiece was made with a pre-made live Christmas arrangement from Lynch Creek Farm! It came beautifully boxed and ready to be used! And just picked fresh!

It even came with a shimmery lime green candle!

 

 

Healthy greens and such attractive embellishments!

I was inspired to create a kitchen table centerpiece by the Limelight Centerpiece arrangement. It is all self-contained so it easily slipped into a white pedestal bowl I had. Easy-peasy right? And really very lovely too!

Because I used small mercury glass votives across the kitchen table centerpiece I put the lime green candle into a taller mercury glass candleholder and put it into the center of the arrangement. Simple, right?

A white linen runner with a border of embroidered white leaves was placed down the center of the kitchen table. It makes a nice base for this centerpiece!

I wanted to give the arrangement a snowy look so I used a simple white tray to contain the faux snow! I love snow!!!! Lime green and citron ornaments mirror the Christmas balls in the centerpiece. And to round out the tray I used white snowy pinecones and mercury glass silver balls as well as pearly little round ornaments scattered here and there.

To each side of the snowy arrangement, I added a couple mercury glass votives and more coordinating ornaments and pinecones.

 

This Christmas centerpiece took less than 10 minutes to put together! And it will look beautiful all Christmas season! You can create this too! Just choose your favorite centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm, find a pretty container to put it in (if it does not come with a container) and add a few embellishments to your table that work together!  Done and done! Really, isn’t this a brilliant idea for easy Christmas decorating?

 

Think of this post as a “formula or recipe” to make the perfect Christmas centerpiece!

And you can use this formula on a…

  • mantel
  • dining room table
  • coffee table
  • buffet
  • desk
  • bookshelves
  • bedroom dresser
  • kitchen island
  • and more!

Now let’s use a wreath in another easy Christmas centerpiece.

 

I recently purchased a round coffee table and was at a quandary about decorating it for Christmas. That was until I got a beautiful live wreath from Lynch Creek Farm. It’s called the Majestic Magnolia Wreath.  It’s 26″ and it is a show stopper!

 

The beautiful live wreath became the arrangement! I just added a candleholder holding snow and a chunky candle. That’s it! The WOW Factor wreath became a WOW Factor centerpiece! Easy-peasy! YES, JUST THAT EASY!!!!!

 

 

The wreath came with this gorgeous shiny, ribbed bow. It works so wonderfully with the magnolia leaves! Sigh!

The embellishments are sturdily affixed to the wreath and are very generous in size!

A beautiful wreath would make an amazing centerpiece on the same things in your home as the kitchen centerpiece above!

Like the kitchen table arrangement, the coffee table arrangement is an easy formula to follow and put your own spin on for Christmas decorating this year!

I visited the Lynch Creek Farm site and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of wreaths, centerpieces, etc. that they have. And the fact that the prices were very reasonable. Loved the idea of just adding a candle to the center of the wreath for your coffee table. Thanks for yet more beautiful ideas.

  43. The wreaths are sooo attractive with sooo many different species of plants. And, Yvonne, they look lovely in your home. I am doing more white in my decorating this Christmas. I set up a small red sleigh with packages wrapped in white embossed paper and tucked in the sleigh. A red ribbon is attached to the top of one of the larger packages. I also stuck some faux greenery among the packages. I do have a stunning green wreath with white magnolia blooms and frosted red berries. The white blooms and my white packages look just right on my outside high-back bench. I would like to do the table top wreath like you did for my dining room. Love your ideas. Thanks so much for being there. Mare

  68. Thank you so much for posting these beautiful centerpieces. I am from Massachusetts and 20 years in DC, but have been in CA for 30 years ( dang. Getting old here!) I really miss all the New England greenery, the smells, tastes and the snow. Nothing here can match the smell of icicles hanging from an eave on a wintery day.
    i would love to win the beautiful wreath as i have the entire family coming (16) , and am beside myself happy. Our 3d is 29 and autistic, and she LIVES for Christmas. She is our precious and perfect-in His -image gift from God, and we adore her, but life gets complicated. Boy, would a wreath be a help.
    Love you, love your devos. All of it. You are a treasure, Yvonne.
    Merry Christmas. Amy

  192. These arrangements are beautiful–just like everything you do! I recently moved into a new home and left my home of 20 years where I had planted a magnolia tree, a blue spruce and a pine tree (in addition to smaller evergreen shrubs) just to use for Christmas decor. I had multiple friends coming over all year long to “borrow” magnolia. I guess you could say I had my own “Giving Tree.” <3
    Oh how we, and especially I, miss my magnolia tree! I went out just this week and purchased some faux magnolia but it is just not the same. A magnolia grandiflora will be my next landscaping addition! Would love to have this wreath and be able to have some REAL magnolia in my Christmas decor this year. Thanks, Yvonne, for bringing Christmas cheer into our lives.

  269. Christmas “blooms” don’t you just love them? A rich green sight and wonderful scent. I like the snowflakes inside the candle holder as well as in the tray holding the bulbs and pinecones. Merry, merry Christmas! A Savior is born. Love, Deb

  275. These arrangements are lovely and I am happy to see they are fresh. I would love to have some of those sugar pine cones you use, that are so delicate compared to our big fat ones in GA. The lime green made such a statement in your centerpiece…so pretty. How do you limit the decorations in your home with so many wonderful ideas popping out of your head? I am overwhelmed just reading your blogs!! When you think of something new to add do you put it in a room or stick to your theme? Blogging seems like a 24-7 job and I admire how well your blog is presented and the variety of topics you cover. I especially enjoy your Sunday scriptures. Enjoy those Grands and have a wonderful holiday! XOXO

  329. Just recently found Lynch Creek Farms. Their items are simple and elegant. Your home is the perfect canvas to showcase their lovely greenery creations. I happily admit that your ideas have encouraged me in Christmas decorating, to use what I have, and embellish with natural elements. Of course, a little glitz and glam and mercury glass are perfect with greenery and pinecones. Thanks for all you share.

  380. I do use wreaths as centerpieces, but WOW, those with magnolia and lime from Lynch Creek are stunning, Yvonne. I would definitely use something like that in my DR, LR or front door (as it was intended, lol). The table arrangement is just as beautiful. I’m really happy to see you’ve joined this group for floral arrangements. This past year they’ve all had really great ideas. I know you will be a wonderful asset to the group. I love your taste, always classic in style.
