Centrepieces for the Christmas table ? What can I do ?

[Bedtime1]

Just wondering what to buy as a centrepiece for the table ? Planning early as I am moving around Christmas and lots to do.

A cakestand piled with tangerines and gold coins, quick easy and cheap.

I love a vase filled with cranberries and water and topped with floating candles

Or this is cute and simple

I put floating candles in a bowl of water ( glass nuggets and confetti to match the table colour too)

Or a huge candleabra wrapped in ivy .

Are you looking for something to keep on the table as a decoration or something on the table during dinner?
I used the water bowl more when my DC were little, less liable to tip over.

Twigs and pebbly shit?

Sorry-to be more serious-a large cylinder vase with a church candle anchored in pebbles inside with ivy wrapped around the base

In the dining room I have a row of 7 little mini berry topiary trees. I got them in Tesco but quite a few places do them.
On the kitchen table I have a long low arrangement of fresh greenery with pillar candles all along it.
Might do something different this year, pinterest is great for ideas

snice no

No no no no no no no no no no

Twigs and Pebbly Shit have no place on the hallowed ground of The Christmas Thread

Though, I make my Easter Tree from twigs (painted white) in a pot of pebbly shit and hung with litle eggs. 'Tis nice

I loved Alex POlizis twigs and pebbly shit center peice last year it was stunning.

This always confuses me when I look at magazines. I have no room for anything after the food. Do you all have massive tables or not keep the food on the table?

I'm thinking about LSA's Midi range of oversized glasses - maybe the 30cm-high champagne glass, fill it either with floating candles or lots of cheap red tree baubles. Or the 39cm wineglass. Ponders just filling it with wine and drinking it.

LSA also do a 1.1m high champagne flute that i saw in House of Fraser - awesome looking, but I'd be too afraid it would be knocked over (plus it's £90).

I read the title as Centre Parc for the Christmas table. I was confused.

KnackeredMuchly...thanks for that link...you've given me a great idea...have a large plain pillar candle with the candy canes and ribbon around it!
