Sophisticated & Natural

To get this look, start with a feathery cedar garland, which adds more feminine appeal. Nestle large frosted pinecones into garland and then wire smaller cones to branches for an out-of-the-woods look.

Next, add height and freshness with white and green flowers, such as paperwhites and amaryllis, in rustic terracotta and zinc containers.  Accent with light green reindeer moss along the mantel.

Finally, add color with fruits such as oranges and limes and fragrance with bundles of cinnamon sticks and scented votive candles.
