"So you've decided to host a Christmas party at your home and you're wondering what to do for a centerpiece. Hi, I'm Jessica Meiczinger with Simply Divine Events, and I'm going to show you how to make a centerpiece for your holiday party. Here we have here an urn. I like to use urns because it's a little different, it gives, it's a little dimensional as opposed to your traditional glass vase. And then go ahead and assemble what you want to put in it. I would go ahead and use some Christmas ornaments, you can use a couple of different sizes if you'd like. Maybe add in some pine cones and you know, either poinsettias or maybe some berries like we have here. So your first step is to take your urn and go ahead and throw your ornaments in and just kind of build them up like so. And you can ahead and add your pine cones in, just kind of spread them out. They don't have to be right in a row and it doesn't have to be uniform, just to add a little bit of dimension and height. And then I like to use berries just because it just is a nice presentation. You can just kind of drape them in and just kind of hang them over the side. Let it hang down a little bit. And I usually use just a couple throughout so it doesn't create an overkill. So that's how to create a nice centerpiece for your holiday celebration. Again, I'm Jessica Meiczinger with Simply Divine Events, and have a happy holiday."
