Posted on Dec 24 2013 - 1:58pm by Jessi Meehan

On (less than) a dime, quickly and simply…use the ornaments you’ve saved over the years and swap them out for the candles in your candlesticks! Sound a little “different”? It is!

Dust off those ornaments, and wipe off those candlesticks…place your favorite twinkling bulbs just so…and instantly add shine, shape, and dimension to any centerpiece.

–       Remember the 3P basics of grouping items in 3’s 5’s and 7’s…it’ll keep things looking balanced and beautiful. Simple votives will add light and keep your table glowing.
–       Pair brass or gold with like colored pieces, crystal with crystal, and silver with silver as well.
–       A big ‘ol bow never hurt anyone, and it’ll add just enough bright bold color!
–       Ground your pieces with matching placemats or trays to pull everything together.
