Lavish Christmas Centerpiece

Roses and mini roses are mixed with white astilbe and holiday greens, touched with gold in places and dotted with a few shimmering ornaments. The red and green base gets a warmer, dressier finish from the gold, and the astilbe adds a light, feathery texture. It comes in two sizes: Small for a compact table, Large for a long formal one.

Set it at the center of a Christmas dinner or holiday party, or bring it as a hostess gift for someone who likes polished decor. If a flower is hard to find that week, the florist may swap in one of equal or higher value and keep the overall look.
