Of this kind of centerpiece, there are many ideas a person can use to get that perfect centerpiece.
Think affordable. A person can think of doing something simple, inexpensive, but still very elegant. These can be a collection of candles, in one color or a combination based on your Christmas décor theme, either arranged artfully in the center with smaller candles on the outer parts and a small wreathe or even pine sprigs placed in certain areas to create that natural, Christmas look.
Additions to centerpieces
If you want to step up one notch, you can have a votive holder in the middle with some mistletoe arranged around to have a compact, elegant centerpiece. If you don’t want to worry about candles you can also do something all-natural and even edible! An assortment of berries in a Christmas bowl, vase, or even bunched on a beautiful piece of cloth would make a very simple, colorful, and elegant centerpiece.
Classic holiday basket
Of course, nothing says elegant more than what is classic. You can always go for the classic holiday basket consisting of your favorite winter plants like pine, holly, western red cedar, topped with pine cones, and nicely wrapped with a red bow. And if you want to be both elegant and personal, you can choose to place small, gold picture frames of two or three of your favorite family pictures. With some fruit, pine sprigs, or berry around them. This will certainly give your guests a lot to talk about.
At the end of the day, your centerpiece should and will be exactly what you want to convey. The key to keeping it elegant is keeping to some classics and remembering that sometimes less is more.
