We all love a snowy winter scene with sparkling snowflakes and icicles, don’t we? Well, you can capture that magic and give it an elegant spin with a centerpiece using elements like these:

  • all-white decorative pieces like vintage-style lanterns, pillar candles, ceramic doves or love birds, soft fluffy feathers
  • bunches of glass or silver-colored “berries” in metallic vases
  • clear glass candle holders, mirrored stands, crystal bowls and the like

 

The Romance of Shabby Chic
