Tips For Styling Your Own Centerpiece

FEATURED: HELLO SUNSHINE ARRANGEMENT
Designing your own table centerpiece is just one of the many ways you add a personal touch to entertaining. Here are some tips you can follow.
Check Your Centerpiece Shape
Mirror the general shape of your centerpiece to your table. Rectangular tables pair best with elongated centerpiece designs. Round tables benefit from circular arrangements. Not only is this more visually pleasing, but it also ensures you have enough space for table settings.
Layer Your Table Accessories
Settle on a focal point, which should the grandest or central element of your tablescape. Build and layer around it with complementary accessories. Strive to strike a balance. For example, add height to a long and low garland by complementing with tall candles.
Always Exercise Caution
Candles are essential to a beautiful centerpiece but do observe proper fire safety when decorating. Avoid having lit candles too close to foliage or other flammable materials. Consider a safer alternative, like battery-operated FLAMELESS CANDLES that look and feel like the real thing.
Invest In Versatile Décor Pieces
It’s smart to start building a collection of decorative items if you entertain often. Clear glass or acrylic containers in varying sizes and heights, basic gold or silver candlesticks, and simple baskets or wooden containers are all accessories that can be utilized in a variety of ways year after year.
Decorate When Not In Use
Decorating a dining table even when it’s not in use is a great way to keep the area stylish and clean. A fruit bowl, a flower arrangement in a tall vase, or candles in varying heights are just some of the things you can use as table decorations.
