1. Style a Timeless Evergreen Table Garland

Create an elegant Christmas garland runner by draping evergreen garlands down the center of your table for a clean, grounded look.

  • Keep the styling low so conversation flows easily over your table.
  • Layer the evergreen table runners with cedar, pine, and juniper stems to add fullness and natural depth.
  • Staying within a simple color palette helps the design feel modern and cohesive, while allowing the evergreen textures to take center stage

2. Easy Christmas Table Centerpiece

Build a textured evergreen centerpiece by layering artificial stems in cedar, pine, spruce, or juniper for fullness and soft movement.

  • Combine real-touch needles with lighter, airy branches to create a modern, dimensional look
  • Add a few taller statement stems for subtle height without overwhelming the table.
  • For a festive finish, tuck in red berries or holly sprigs to bring a pop of holiday color.

This elegant Christmas centerpiece makes a beautiful first impression, and when it’s time to serve dinner, you can simply move the arrangement to a sideboard so the evergreen design continues to add seasonal cheer to the room.

3. Create Warm Glow With Candles and Evergreens

Pair your evergreen stems with modern tapered candles, brass holders, or low glass votives to bring warmth and dimension to the table. Candlelight instantly elevates a holiday tablescape, adding a soft glow that beautifully complements lush greenery.

  • Stagger candles along an evergreen table garland for a cozy, collected look, or place pillars on either side of a centerpiece to frame the arrangement.
  • Always use caution when styling flame near faux greenery.
  • Keep stems tucked safely away from lit candles, and avoid letting pillars burn too low.
