Votives and Moss - Cedar Forest

Votives and Moss

  • votive candles in glass containers
  • moss (dry or damp)
  • preserved or fresh leaves or branches
  • twigs, small pinecones, mini-pumpkins (optional)

    Place a length of felt (if using dry moss) or plastic (for damp moss) on the table. Layer on moss, leaving a few open areas for votive candleholders. Decorate with fall leaves here and there. Garnish with small pinecones, twigs, or a few mini-pumpkins. This is a low arrangement that could also be enhanced with taller pillar candles or tall taper candles.

      - Tip: Use plastic under damp sheets of moss to keep your table clean and dry.
      - Tip: Keep dried materials well away from candle flames.

    Cedar Forest

  • small cedar potted plants
  • preserved leaves
  • moss
    Purchase several miniature evergreen trees (6-15" high) from a florist or garden center. Use these as your focal point. Cover the pots with moss (attach with hot glue or wire) or place into decorative containers. Set the trees on the table and garnish the tabletop with fall leaves, votive candles, and mini-pumpkins.

      - Tip: Arrange tallest tree(s) in center. Always place fresh plants on water trays, glass plates, or in decorative containers to protect your table from water damage.
      - Hint -- This arrangement can easily be updated to a Christmas theme in December by adding sparkling ribbons and ornaments.
