Arranging Flowers for Christmas Dinner

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make this gorgeous Christmas table for your Christmas dinner. So I decided I would like some fresh flowers on the table but I didn't' want to spend a lot of money. Carnations are a great choice and look at this really dark almost blood red color. It is so perfect for the table and if you make them into a very small bouquet, like I'm doing right now everyone could see over it will make it look just really rich and really fabulous. You need to keep the arrangements very low they shouldn't be any taller than your champagne glasses. Because I wouldn't be able to make eye contact with you while I'm talking if I have a huge spray of flowers up here I'm never going to be able to see your face and I'm going to be going like this and dodging everything. It just makes for an uncomfortable evening. Also think about your color scheme. I'm doing a red and white color scheme for my holiday table. If you're doing something with green it might be nice to do some white flowers on the table with just a bit of holiday greenery. Think about what your table looks like and what flowers would be appropriate."
