Learn how to style the Reindeer Games centerpiece from Lynch Creek Farm with simple steps for a festive holiday table arrangement.
Quick answer
To style a Reindeer Games centerpiece, place it on a sturdy table runner, arrange it with balanced heights, and add warm lights to create a cozy woodland focal point.
Why the Reindeer Games centerpiece suits a festive table
The Reindeer Games centerpiece brings a cozy woodland spirit to your holiday table. Its buffalo plaid deer, fresh noble fir, cedar, and pine, plus faux berries and pinecones, create a natural yet festive look that pairs well with both rustic and elegant table settings.
Because it comes with optional lights, you can tailor the glow to your dinner party mood. A well-styled centerpiece should anchor the table without blocking conversation, so keep the arrangement low enough or place it slightly off-center if your table is narrow.
How to style your Reindeer Games centerpiece
- Choose the right spot: Place the centerpiece on a flat, stable surface in the middle of your table. If your table is narrow, position it slightly off-center to leave room for place settings and serving dishes. Make sure it doesn't block sightlines across the table. A common mistake is placing it too close to the edge—keep it at least 6 inches from the table edge to avoid accidental bumps.
- Add a base layer: Set the centerpiece on a wooden charger, a linen runner, or a simple tray to define its space and protect your table from moisture. This also helps it stand out against busy tablecloths. Don't skip the base if your table is light-colored; the greenery can leave water marks.
- Balance the height: Keep the centerpiece low enough (under 12 inches) so guests can see each other. If you want more height, place it on a pedestal cake stand or a stack of books, but ensure it doesn't interfere with conversation. A centerpiece that's too tall can block sightlines—check from seated eye level.
- Incorporate the lights: If you chose the lights option, weave the wire through the greenery and tuck the battery pack under the base or behind the deer. Turn them on just before guests arrive to create a warm, inviting glow. Test the lights before placing the centerpiece to avoid fiddling with batteries at the last minute.
- Add complementary accents: Scatter a few pinecones, faux berries, or small ornaments around the base to echo the centerpiece's colors. Keep it minimal—the centerpiece already has plenty of texture. Avoid adding tall candlesticks that compete with the centerpiece; use short votives instead.
- Refresh and maintain: Mist the greenery lightly every couple of days and remove any fallen needles or berries. Keep the centerpiece away from direct heat sources to prolong its freshness. Check the water reservoir if your centerpiece has one, and refill as needed to keep the greens hydrated.
