How to make a Celtic or Scottish Inspired Christmas table arrangement. Equally nice for Christmas or if you have a Celtic wedding coming up - incorporate the flowers to tie back with bouquets.
Things to gather:
- An elongated tin container
- Oasis Wet Floral Foam: amzn.to/1OblLEz
OR
- Dry Floral Foam: amzn.to/1KAKsrH
I'm using grey foam because I’m using artificial forms, but if using fresh then pre-soak green foam until fully saturated.
- Several lengths of Ivy: amzn.to/1LWqVXI
- Green and white thistles: amzn.to/2h0kUjE
- Grey lambs ear: amzn.to/1g6EWDO
- White and green berries: amzn.to/2gEX0GR
- White pillar candle: amzn.to/2gEZmFT
- Succulents in colours and sizes to suit: amzn.to/2fLrgTD
- Sprigs of rosemary, bay or lavender
- Moss: amzn.to/1PY9eVr
Method
Cut ivy to the length of the container and insert to extend long-ways out of container to create length.
Cut smaller pieces to fill in around sides.
Position candle into centre of container.
Insert to extend out both ends the thistles and step these into the candle.
Place berries on top of thistles to nestle down amongst florets.
Position succulents to fill spaces.

Absolutely beautiful!

This is wonderful. I'm so happy you've posted this Scottish christmas floral series. It's giving me lots of good instructions on how I can create my enchanted fall forest wedding centerpeices for next November. The Scottish theme really helps since my fiancé has a Scottish American background in his family and we want use more foliage peices than floral due to allergies. These peices are exactly what I was imagining and now I can make them myself. Thank you!!! ♡♡♡
