During the Christmas season we love to incorporate fresh evergreens throughout our homes. Fresh greenery can add up if you purchasing it, so if you have access to evergreen trees in your own yard, take a minute to go clip some boughs.
In fact, clipping Juniper sprigs from my Grandpa’s trees is something I look forward to each winter season. Not only is the Juniper soft, no prickly needles like a pine, but it also has a beautiful blue berry. It creates a calming look that I love.
To create this centerpiece, we started out with a large wooden bowl. Next, we added three candlesticks of varying heights followed by the fresh Juniper clippings. Lastly, we finished it off by placing in a few large seashells.
(If you’re not into a coastal look, this can still be a beautiful arrangement in your home. Simply omit the seashells and add a few shimmery ornaments instead.)

Love it! Did you make your tree collar or buy it?
Thanks Brooke! I bought it a few years ago at Michaels. I’ve seen a lot of silver metal colors out there. You could always spray paint one if you needed it a particular color.

Your home is so beautifully decorated! I love the beach theme tree, and how you incorporated shells in your greenery! And I’m SO jealous of your juniper berry clippings…I grew up with them, but sadly they don’t grow here in South Texas.
Thanks Cindy! Hopefully we brought back some wonderful Christmas memories for you with the juniper clippings. I love how soft they are to the touch and they lay so pretty and add a soft feel.
