How To Make An Outdoor Christmas Arrangement Using A Very Easy System!

I love to make several different outdoor Christmas arrangements every holiday season! I am not a trained floral designer but I have a system that I follow that is super easy and works every time.
When I design and make my outdoor Christmas arrangements I think of these terms in this order: THRILLER, SPILLER, FILLER, EMBELLISHMENTS. If you look carefully at this arrangement you will see that the tall red branches are the THRILLER. The Scotch Pine greens and cedars draping outside of the urn are the SPILLER and the red poinsettias are the FILLER.
Yes, that is real snow! I recommend investing in quality silk flowers (I always look for the sales and use coupons). These flowers are about five years old and are out in the open exposed to the winter elements during the holiday season.
Then I had fun adding the embellishments to give the arrangement some sparkle and a personal touch! I added some red Christmas balls as well as some red and some gold glittery picks…
… and a made large bow out of gold metallic wire and red and gold ribbon.
Here is another example of an outdoor Christmas floral arrangement I made using the same system. Can you see the THRILLER, SPILLER, FILLER and EMBELLISHMENTS?
