CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS: CENTERPIECE

 

In 2018, beauty = simplicity. So to achieve a warm and well balanced decor it means you need to diversify your material choices in quantities, colors and textures. A good idea for the centerpiece is to have a mix of natural accessories mixed in with Christmas colors. For example, making your own under dish from logs or drying twigs of wood … Take inspiration from the images below to create an atmosphere that is unique to you!

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WITH CANDLES

 

Who does not like candles? I’m personally very fond of them!. Especially those from Bath and Body Works (Mahogany Teakwood). When it comes time to combine candles and decor, it’s a yes! Not only for their irresistible smells, they also managed to create cozy and relaxing atmospheres. Isn’t this what we are all trying to achieve during the Holidays right? That and being accompanied by a good cup of wine! Normally I would suggest that you buy your candles at Winners, but seeing as it’s so fun and crafty to do your own, I rather suggest that you let your creative juices flow and guide you to either to your own or create an amazing arrangement!
