Pick a scheme
"You don't have to colour-coordinate your arrangements to your home, but look around and see what colour you think would look best. Red and green are the perennial favourites, but this year, try something new: stick to a neutral floral palette, say whites, but shake it up with colourful containers that add to your overall holiday decor."
Size does matter
"Figure out an appropriate size in relation to your tables and rooms. Multiple arrangements can look fabulous, but if they're too big, they can overpower a space. One suggestion is to have a single large arrangement that can be placed in an entranceway and three smaller arrangements that can be lined up in a row on a table."
Decoration
"Keep in mind that your table decor doesn't have to be completely floral. One arrangement set between two vases full of Christmas balls makes a beautiful holiday statement. Also, festive fruit displayed in bowls is a great way to add fresh decor without the expense of freshly cut flowers."

any ideals about what kind of plants you can grow from just stones and water in a large vase, i know bamboo,can survive like this. eileen
Cut stems of any willow will root readily in water and will soon fill your vase with long white roots. In the depth of winter bare branches can be cut from many trees and shrubs and will start to produce lovely fresh green leaves after only one or two weeks indoors. Many will root and can later be potted up in pots of soil. These make excellent young plants which can given away as great gifts. Hope this helps you. Ada Haygarth www.flowerarrangingschool.com
