diy | winter bouquet

I’ve noticed lots of great ideas for holiday table centerpieces using berries, branches and pine, and I loved the idea of including these winter elements in my decor. The result is a collection of wintery greens and small pops of red. To me it’s earthy, elegant and festive.

I thought it would be fun to show you how to make your own winter bouquet. First thing, go out for a walk and gather whatever you can find outside – branches of pine and cedar, berries and twigs. Pinecones or acorns could be a nice addition to the bouquet too! I suggest also checking out your local Christmas tree lot or neighborhood Home Depot and asking for any tree scraps (ask for all different kinds). Then stop by you local flower shop and see what they have in store. I picked up a small bunch of eucalyptus and a few stalks of leucadendron. Succulents would also add a nice texture to the arrangement! Use your creativity when assembling the bouquet. I tucked mine into a mercury glass vase and used it as my centerpiece at this dinner party.
