Decorating your home for Christmas is just another way of sharing your holiday spirit, and with fresh flowers readily available, you don’t have to rely on silk or artificial arrangements.

There are all sorts of beautiful holiday table centerpieces you can cerate.

Don’t think that you must stick to the more traditional Christmas flowers such as poinsettias. Any pretty red and white flowers will do quite nicely for Christmas flower arrangements.

There are many types of greenery, too. Holly and mistletoe are always nice, but you can use fragrant evergreen boughs, spiky pine cones, ivy, or almost any greenery in your arrangements.

Carnations make lovely holiday bouquets and centerpieces!

Besides being readily available, carnations are inexpensive, as well. With big, ruffled, frilly blooms, a centerpiece of red and white carnations with greenery accents is a charming addition to your Christmas dinner table.

You may also use beautiful red and white tulips for Christmas flowers. There are bicolored “candy cane” varieties that are striped red and white—so festive for the holidays!

Dramatic red roses with greenery and delicate white baby’s breath combine for an elegant, yet cheerful, centerpiece for your table.

A particularly showy Christmas table floral centerpiece may be created using fresh potted poinsettias and shiny Christmas ornaments inside a large basket decorated with a Christmas ribbon bow on the handle.

The possibilities for Christmas flowers to be used in table centerpieces are numerous!

Use your imagination and let your creative juices flow to come up with some winning ideas for your holiday décor!

For instance, a large blooming Christmas cactus would make a stunning table centerpiece!

Many hostesses like to arrange Christmas flowers with candles for a bit of holiday ambience. Floating candles, for example, along with floating poinsettias or other fresh Christmas flowers makes a stunning and extremely stylish floral centerpiece for a holiday table.

You might also arrange shiny, brightly colored ornaments in a big, clear vase holding a tall Amaryllis or orchid!

Paperwhite Narcissus make gorgeous Christmas flowers, especially when combined with red flowers such as tulips, carnations or cyclamen.

Regardless of which Christmas flowers you decide to use for your holiday table centerpiece, the addition of fresh flowers will add a big helping of charm and holiday cheer!
