Elegant Christmas Decorations |
|
What would be Christmas without a touch of elegance! Elegance doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs a touch of classiness. Victorians have it in their blood and many others are aspirants. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Victorian, you can still go for giving an elegant look to your Christmas decorations with these ideas: |

- Use glass ornaments for decoration. Glass is the perfect element for elegance.
- Tiny white lights on Christmas tree would add to your elegant Christmas decorations.
- Centerpieces play a vital role in elegant Christmas decorations. You can make your own centerpieces full of elegance.
Here are two easy methods:
- Christmas Poinsettia Centerpiece (By Coral Nafie)
Materials required:
- Low-growing poinsettias or artificial plants
- Floral foam or Styrofoam
- Decorative bowl
- Cache pot or soup tureen
- Greenery
Steps:
- If you're going to use cut flower stems, place a brick of floral foam or Styrofoam into the container and secure it in place.
- Place small, low poinsettia plants or artificial stems into your bowl, soup tureen, or cache pot.
- Make sure that the flowerpots do not show above the top of your decorative container.
- Add trailing greenery around the base of the plants.
- Place the container with plants in the center of your table.
- Place the soup tureen on its serving plate.
- Add beautiful candles in red, green, white, or gold at the sides of the centerpiece
- Christmas Candlestick Centerpiece (By Coral Nafie)
Materials required:
- Candle holders
- Candles in holiday colors
- Bows to match your decor or table
- Pine boughs (optional)
Steps:
- Polish and clean your best candleholders.
- Select candles that coordinate with your dishes or holiday decorating theme.
- Tie or wire beautiful bows to the candlesticks or directly on the candles, taking care to keep the ribbons below the burn area.
- If you use wired French ribbon, you'll be able to tie the bows neatly and keep them from year to year.
- To help your candles last longer freeze them before using.
- Buy drip less candles when you can. They won't drip onto the ribbons and ruin them.
- Be sure to buy extra candles so that you can replace them after your holiday parties.
- The candles and candleholders don't need to match. If you use a variety of styles and heights, you'll have added interest in your arrangement.
- An arrangement using an odd number of candleholders-- 3, 5, or 7 -- will be more interesting than one with an even number.
- This centerpiece decoration can be placed on a side table, fireplace mantle, or coffee table.
- For a different look, place the candlesticks on a tray and arrange pine boughs underneath.
- Sprinkle artificial snow around the base.
