Who said you need a larger than life floral arrangement to make your holiday dinner shine? Sometimes less is more, and in this case we wholeheartedly agree. Snip a few branches off of your Christmas tree and fill your favorite vases with some water, and voila! You have minimal yet festive floral decor that not only looks stunning but smells amazing.

2. Make your bouquet a little sweeter by adding some fruit.

This semi-edible Christmas flower arrangement is one of our favorites. The creative addition of fresh red grapes to this eye catching bouquet makes for an exceptionally beautiful centerpiece. Not to mention, the best part is that when the evening is winding down and you crave something sweet, you don't have to look any further than your own dining table blooms for a delicious nibble or two.

3. Forget the vase, and opt for a wreath instead.

Hang it on the wall, rest it on the fireplace mantel, or hang it on a door — there's no denying it, a wreath offers you more options than the standard floral arrangement in a vase.

These minimally designed floral embellishments will look great on your holiday dinner table, and at the end of the night you can send one home with each of your guests as a sweet smelling Christmas treat.
