Decorating with Holiday Greenery

Go with the glow of candlelight and fragrant greenery for the table. Nothing could be easier—or prettier.

Here's how: Buy three or five 8- to 10-inch wreaths in the greens of your choice; we used bay leaf, eucalyptus, and rosemary wreaths. Place wreaths down the center of your table on a runner or tablecloth, alternating the size and type of greens. Insert candles in the center of each wreath—one or two pillars for the smaller size and three in the larger ones.

Tip: To keep a wreath fresh until you use it, sprinkle 1/2 cup of water into a plastic bag, place wreath inside, and close.
