Outdoor Decorating in the garden for Christmas Day 6

Hi there everybody, are you still enjoying my 12 Days of Christmas Decorating series? Has the Christmas mood set upon you? Have you felt inspired?

I sure hope so, because I am still having fun putting this series together. Although I have to admit, right here at the halfway point I am getting a bit tired. But I will make it to the finish line. I hope you will still be with me when I get there.

Yesterday was all about outdoors Christmas decorating, in particular my front entrance. But we almost always enter the house from the back. That’s why I love to decorate our back garden too. Our roofed terrace is the best spot to goof around a little and get my decorating on. So let’s continue the outdoors decorating for Christmas.

Let’s see what I came up with……..

 

Tada!!!!!

A grand old centerpiece for our table with some side decorations. 

Quite the statement isn’t it. I think it looks pretty impressing, if I say so myself. But with my little chicken wire trick, this one wasn’t too hard to make either. 

 


   

 

If you want more details on how to make an outdoor floral arrangement you might like this post on how I used the same urn to make a winter centerpiece for my garden table. It has a full tutorial and even a how-to video.

Our refectory table is crazy long so it demanded even  more than this rather large centerpiece. So two more little ones she got.

They are like the backing vocals to the lead singer…..

…… they make harmony together.

 

But what are singers without a good band.

Meet the band:

All the greenery I had left after all my centerpiece making got ‘dumped’ on my garden worktable. I added some accessories….

Sprinkled on some snow …..

And called it a day.

I love walking up from the back of the garden to the house and see it all decked out and welcoming.

And of course the little lights like wonderful at night .

  3. Marianne, your back-up singers are perfect! I love the extra touch especially with the pinecones and candles underneath the main centerpiece. All your extra effects would make me smile everytime I came home! Thanks for a chance to win!

    1. There is something wrong with the Rafflecopter form. It has Shanty 2 Chic as the host and the extra entries are twitter.

  4. Marianne,

  8. Aw. I was a bit sad that most of the entries for the giveaway involved Pinterest. I am purposefully avoiding Pinterest, because I KNOW that I would be addicted! 🙂 But that’s OK. At least I have one entry.

    Merry Christmas!
