1. Choose your Nativity scene
Opt for a Nativity scene that suits the rest of your Christmas décor - and bear in mind that it will need to fit in the middle of your table with room for foliage around it. In other words, think small!
2. Create a structure
How you structure your centrepiece will depend on your chosen nativity scene. If it is one single ornament, you could stand it on a block of florists’ foam and use that as the base for your foliage. If your scene has a number of pieces, an alternative option is to buy a wreath ring and weave your leaves, branches and berries through that.
3. Get festive with foliage
Now for the fun part! Choose a variety of Christmassy leaves, ivy, branches, winter heather and berries, and attach them to your base. Use a broad mix of shapes, colours and textures to really bring your display to life. Try winterberry branches for colour, eucalyptus leaves for their beautiful ‘frosted’ finish, holly leaves and fir cones for texture and fir-tree branches to complement your Christmas tree. Add a bright pop of colour with poinsettias placed amongst the greenery.
And if you can't get enough of green, head over to The Green Gallery which has a great idea on how to make a beautiful green backdrop for your Christmas gathering.
