Better Than Bling
In another bowl centerpiece, Matthew attains easy elegance with what he calls “drop and layer” style. Using no florals, fruits, or water, he simply nestles white and silver ornaments in a compote among glistening silver cake dragées and glass stones. He tops it off with an antique bell ornament and rhinestone brooches — inexpensive flea market finds. (For a dash of color, you might add a few pieces of blue sea glass.) The finishing touch is to “serve” the arrangement on a sterling-silver tray.

This idea will work well with red in the collection of green glass bits I have collected form yard sales .
I think it would look great with a bit of red and green thrown in. I think that would make it really festive. Not expensive to create either if you check out the yard sales and flea markets.
This is beautiful and adding one more color; whatever it may be would add just the touch
this works well in a trifle bowl or a fat vase.
I love this idea. I have some very old ornaments–rhinestone pins and red+green glass balls on a silver tray. Thanks again!!
