Candles are typically our go to item for creating a dramatic and moody table for special occasions. Candles are a staple in our lives for a reason—they're inexpensive, easy to use and make our homes look even more beautiful.
The cranberry centerpiece is one of those that always look spectacular and creates a very festive look for our homes during the holidays.
Elevate them to the next level by placing them in a glass vessel filled with water and let them float. Tall and skinny, short and plump or a simple glass bowl will do! Along with the water, add some cranberries, flowers or greenery to the vessel for an added pop of color. Mason jars are all the rage right now and floating candles also look amazing in them.
