If holiday entertaining is on your horizon, try one of these simple yet elegant centerpiece ideas to quickly cross one of the items off your to-do list!

1.  Ornamental Elegance – a centerpiece doesn’t have to be elaborate to be gorgeous.  Try stacking glass ornaments on a cake dish or in a bowl.  You can adhere them to one another with glue dots (which can be found in the scrapbooking section at any craft store).  Fill in the gaps with beautiful ribbon or fresh greenery and to round out the look, consider stacking glass balls on top of candlestick holders as well.

2.  Stack of Gifts – choose a color theme and stack boxes wrapped in varied patterns of that theme on top of a pedestal or cake plate.  Then top the tower with a bow and wrap a thick piece of matching ribbon around each side.  Secure the ends of the ribbon to the underneath of the cake plate for a crisp, clean look.

3.  Fresh flowers with a twist – To dress up the classic centerpiece of fresh flowers, fill a vase with greens and then remove the heads from roses or whatever flower you choose and hot glue them to the outside of the vase.  You will have a gorgeous centerpiece that will wow guests… of course don’t do this too far in advance!
