Effortless Holiday Tablescape with Peppermint Carnations

The holidays are a time for shared moments, sparkling laughter, and cozy gatherings around the table. Creating a holiday tablescape that feels vibrant, welcoming, and full of heart isn’t just possible—it’s easy with the right inspiration. Whether you’re hosting a lively group or planning an intimate family dinner, the right flowers and thoughtful touches can transform your dining space into a place your loved ones will remember.

Step Into the Peppermint Carnation Collection

Let’s take a closer look at the magic inside this collection—each bloom and sprig was chosen to help you create a festive scene that’s rich in color, texture, and joy:

• Red Garden Roses: These beauties are the definition of classic elegance, blooming with velvety, deep red petals for a look that’s timeless and full of warmth.

• Red Carnations: Bright, cheerful, and loaded with personality, red carnations bring energy and that unmistakable festive feeling.

• Peppermint Carnations: These are the stars of the show! With their playful red-and-white stripes, they instantly call to mind candy canes, childhood excitement, and sweet surprises. Each bloom is a conversation starter.

• White Cushion Pomps: Their round, billowy shape and snow-white color are like little winter clouds nestled among the other blooms, adding fullness and a wintery contrast.

• White Dyed Solidago: These tiny, airy blossoms stretch upward like snow-kissed branches. Their soft shimmer brings a whimsical, frosted effect to every arrangement.

• Red Spray Roses: Petite, dainty, and full of charm, spray roses amplify the richness of the arrangements with clusters of mini-blooms in cheerful red.

• Red Hypericum Berries: Glossy and bright, these festive berries add cheerful pops of color and a dash of winter orchard charm.

• Pine: A true holiday staple! Pine boughs weave in a wonderful fragrance and rustic beauty, instantly evoking memories of tree trimming and crisp winter walks.

• Baby Eucalyptus: With their soft, silvery-green leaves, eucalyptus adds a gentle touch and balances the bold reds—perfect for a harmonious finish.

Designing a Merry and Meaningful Tablescape

Start by unrolling a vibrant red table runner down the heart of your table—a bold backdrop that sets the tone for the whole design. For extra cheer, select a runner embroidered or printed with sweet sentiments like “merry and bright” or other playful holiday words. These heartfelt details instantly warm up the setting and give guests that festive feeling before they’ve even taken a seat.

Next comes the centerpiece magic. Place three medium arrangements from our Peppermint Carnation Collection in 5x5 white ceramic cylinder vases. If you don’t have these on hand, local home and décor stores carry a wide selection—look for simple, clean lines that let the flowers shine. Line the vases up evenly along your table runner. The repetition creates a lush, unified look that draws attention down the whole table, while showcasing the collection’s playful mix of color, fragrance, and whimsical details.

To add a touch of elegance and warmth, tuck in white taper candles set in gold candlesticks between the arrangements. The gentle glow of candlelight brings out the vibrant reds and adds a little golden sparkle, making every meal feel extra special. If you like, mix candle heights for added dimension and visual interest.

Putting the Finishing Touches on Your Holiday Table

The magic truly comes together through the small, caring details:

• Place Settings: Keep dishes simple—white plates help your floral centerpiece shine. Add a sprig of pine, baby eucalyptus, or a single peppermint carnation at each setting for a personal touch that shows you care.

• Glassware: Clear glass ensures the candlelight dances around the room and keeps everything fresh and light.

• Holiday Accents: For even more warmth, scatter a few red or gold ornaments along the runner.

• Music: No gathering is complete without a little holiday music. Create a playlist of your seasonal favorites to set a joyful mood from the very first toast.

With the Peppermint Carnation Collection as your starting point, your holiday table will radiate warmth and character—reflecting the care and creativity you bring to the season.
