To create this fantasy holiday tablescape, I curated a collection of vintage milk-glass containers and mixed them with more contemporary vessels. For my traditional red-and-white color palette, I selected all white flowers; red-and-white place settings; and red fruits and veggies, including ‘Bing’ cherries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, apples, bell and cherry peppers, pears, and even watermelon, to make Christmas-tree-shaped cake toppers. Bell peppers, when sliced in half horizontally, can serve as great vessels for miniature arrangements or single blooms.

Step – By – Step

Step 1
Choose a large milk-glass container to create the main centerpiece for the center of the table and/or buffet. Secure a hairpin holder into the container with adhesive clay, and arrange a varied selection of flowers into the container.

Step 2
Choose additional smaller containers and vases—or even bell peppers—and create monobotanical designs in some of them and fill others with flowering plants. Place them to accessorize the main centerpiece.

Step 3
Mix into the collection tiered serving stands filled with a variety of fresh fruit and confections, like cakes, cookies and candies.

Lay stems of seasonal foliages and a few pieces of fruit on the table and/or buffet.

Finish accessorizing with taper and pillar candles.
