Fun and interesting Items for the Holiday Decorator


Ilex, from the Holly family has small berries usually red but can be shades of red. The fruits are variously colored berries, which ripen in winter, and offer a pleasant color contrast with the color of winter greens. The berries, look really amazing against Princess Pine or Cedar and because you can get them in several lengths you have the option of using them as an accent for long centerpieces or to create height and drama along with those wonderful Amaryllis bulbs that are finally blooming. We used a artisan glass vase in vibrant red to showcase these amazing berries, the sphere shaped designs are covered in a green Dianthus (from the carnation family) can you believe that. It’s just one of our designer’s favorite. We inserted forelle pears which are the perfect size into the sphere for texture and accented with Cymbidium Orchids, another favorite.
