Using natural elements for holiday decorating is the easiest way to decorate and often the prettiest!
It's often more cost effective to fill your mantel with fresh greenery than with a bunch of holiday decorations!
On my tree I'll often use magnolia and baby's breath instead of ornaments. Nothing to store away until next year!
This centerpiece was made with only two mini poinsettias and some greenery from my yard.
In the entryway, fresh garland, red berries in a vase and a red poinsettia create a festive welcome.
You can even stick a branch full of fresh evergreens into a vase for a simple display that will last longer than flowers.
Fresh evergreens tucked into containers on the front porch will also last for several weeks to months in the winter.
