DIY Fresh Greenery Holiday Arrangement
A fresh greenery arrangement only needs a multi vase centerpiece, fresh greenery, a couple of fillers like holly berries and pinecones, and wire cutters. Cut the branches to fit, then weave the fillers through the leaves so they don't look like they're just laying on top.
Fresh greenery is such a great addition to any Christmas decor. And it’s not just for garlands and wreaths! Today I have a simple DIY fresh greenery arrangement you can use to add a little extra holiday spirit to your tablescape or coffee table. You only need a few things and it will only take a few minutes. So if you’re looking to incorporate fresh greenery into your decor this year give this simple DIY a try!
What You’ll Need:
-
Multi Vase Centerpiece - The one I used is no longer sold, but if you’d like something similar check out this one or this one.
-
Fillers - I used holly berries and pinecones, but you can choose whatever suits you!
-
Wire Cutters - I use these to cut the branches
Step 1.
Before you start anything, be sure you’ve done all the prep to make your greenery last as long as possible! If you need instructions or tips, I have a whole post on everything you need to do to make your greenery last, check it out here!
Okay, now that your greenery is ready, let’s get started. :) Once you’ve cut branches to fit your arrangements, you can start working them together. I try to weave the holly berries through the leaves of branches so it doesn’t look like a branch of berries just laying on top of branches. Just continue adding in fillers this way, working them together.
Step 2.
Repeat in the other vases. And enjoy! That’s it!
Now you can decide if you want to add any extras, like artificial greenery in with the fresh greenery or between the vases (like I did). I also went back later and filled the vases with tiny pinecones. Or you can leave it because this simple arrangement can definitely stand out on its own.

Questions I get asked
- Do I need to prep the greenery before I arrange it?
- Yes. Before you start anything, be sure you've done all the prep to make your greenery last as long as possible. I have a whole post on everything you need to do.
- How do I keep the fillers from looking fake?
- Weave them in instead of setting them on top. I try to weave the holly berries through the leaves of the branches so it doesn't look like a branch of berries just laying on top of branches.
- What if I can't find the same centerpiece?
- The one I used is no longer sold, but there are similar multi vase centerpieces linked in the supply list.
- Can I add anything else to the arrangement?
- Sure. You can add artificial greenery in with the fresh greenery or between the vases like I did, and I went back later and filled the vases with tiny pinecones. Or leave it, because this simple arrangement can definitely stand out on its own.
