Your 5-Minute Holiday Tablescape (with Planters)
Nov 07, 2025
Why Ceramic Planters Beat Bouquets
- Use them year-round: décor that doesn’t get composted next week.
- Sized for drop-in grow pots: our planters are proportioned to fit standard nursery pots for a seamless, no-replant setup. Add moss on top if you want full coverage.
- Integrated saucers: protect your table from water rings.
- Low silhouettes & matte finishes: easy conversation, beautiful in photos.
5-Minute Drop-In Method
- Gather 3–5 coordinating planters (keep the palette tight).
- Drop the nursery grow pot straight inside—no repotting, no mess.
- Top with preserved moss or a neatly folded linen to hide soil.
- Add slim tapers between planters and you’re ready to dine.
Holiday Tablescape Ideas (Easy & Simple)
Monochrome Moment (One Size, One Finish)
A row of Round Two 4" in White reads crisp and gallery-clean. Repeating one size keeps the eye calm; the tapers add height without blocking sightlines.
Windowsill Herb Bar (Cocktail-Ready)
Line up three 4-inch ceramic planters with herbs—practical, fragrant, and festive. It’s our favorite shortcut for easy Christmas table decor.
Outdoor Grazing Board (Terra & Oat)
Warm finishes echo wood and stone. Style a mix of Rancho in Terra and Round Two in Oat for a relaxed Mediterranean mood you can carry inside later.

Round Table Duo (Low & Lush)
For small spaces, pair one generous anchor with a compact sidekick. The contrast in scale—and the drape of ivy—delivers quiet drama without crowding the place settings.

Table Centerpiece Sizing Guide
- Narrow table (≤36"): three 4–6" planters.
- Standard (36–42"): one 6–8" anchor + two 4–6" flanks.
- Round table: one 6–8" anchor + one 4–6" accent.
- Leave 18–24" at the ends of a long table for platters.
After the Party
When the candles go out, the centerpieces don’t. Move the planters to a windowsill, the entry, or a bookshelf. Water on your usual cadence, give them a quarter-turn each week for even light, and refresh the moss when it needs a lift. This is décor that keeps earning its keep.

FAQs
What plants work best for a holiday centerpiece?
Herbs (rosemary, mint, thyme), trailing ivy or philodendron, and seasonal potted blooms like paperwhites and cyclamen.
What do you mean by “drop-in” method?
Our planters are generously sized to fit standard nursery grow pots. Simply place the grow pot inside the ceramic planter for a seamless fit—no repotting required. Add moss on top if you prefer complete coverage.
How do I keep a minimal tablescape from looking sparse?
Work with one anchor planter and one or two sidekicks, keep finishes cohesive, and add slim tapers for height and glow.
