This large centerpiece idea came while I was preparing a New Year Eve dinner for our friends and family. It was quite a hectic day preparing meals for 20 people, and I didn't have time at all to go out to buy fresh flowers for our centerpiece, and so I quickly came up with this idea. I took one of the plants that used to be an outdoor plants for the Summer that had a nice base, and I quickly filled the spaces in between plants with a couple of large purple silk flowers. I then added Christmas ornaments over the plants and filled in more ornaments wherever there's gaps in between plants. The arrangement looked beautiful on our buffet table. A few of our female friends asked where I got my centerpiece from, and some of them even wondered if the plants was real. :)
Here are the steps by steps photos of my centerpiece:
Here is the finished product... what do you think?
