Winter Palace Centerpiece using Lighted Branches

winter palace centerpiece with lighted branches

This stunning centerpiece was put together by RAZ and shown in the Winter Palace Collection for 2011. A collection of   ornaments, frosted greenery and white feathers are nesting among some basic brown with clear light, lighted branches. The lighted branches are in stock now and come in a set of three stems, all connected by one wire that connect to adaptor  that is plugged into the wall. The branches can be bent and flexed to 
lighted branchesmake your creation. (Though don’t bend too severely to damage wires.)

This tabletop decoration could also be created with fresh greenery (No water around the branches of course.), natural pine cones or other materials. Something like a wicker basket could be substituted for the sleigh. I love the way the pine cones are just sort of drifting off the side of the container.

Hope you like this idea from RAZ…..they’re the greatest when it comes to designing!

RAZ White Feathered Owls

raz white owls 
This centerpiece is from the 2011 RAZ Over the River and Thru the Hills collection. It would be so simple to put together……I think I can do this one! Any wicker basket would do and it could be filled with pieces of greenery, fresh or artificial. Sprigs of holly berries add bright raz flat white owl ornamentcolor and pinecones for texture.

The owls nesting on a bed of fresh greens would look great and smell great too. The bow on the side is easily made with wide ribbon. The RAZ Owls are very popular ornaments and we sell out every year at Trendy Tree. This year several new styles of Owls have been added so we have even more to choose from. Two new styles are shown here. The Owl on the right is a new “flat” owl. We have several new styles in brown coming in also. The Owls should be arriving within the next few weeks.

RAZ Stacking Party Boxes

These stacking party boxes from RAZ are made of heavy glittered cardboard. Each has a lid that comes off and the smallest lid has a stemmed cherry on top. These boxes are great as a centerpiece decoration or for holding goodies. The colors are great for birthday parties or Easter table decorations. You could remove the top lid and place a stuffed bunny in the box, or floral arrangement to give it extra height.

The height of the boxes stacked is about 12" or 14" if measured to the top of the cherry. Stacked boxes are from the Childhood Menagerie collection of RAZ Imports

These trees come in sets of two. They are made of a sturdy cardboard, glittered and striped peppermint candy style. They also come in pink peppermint. The unique thing about this design is that one cone was turned upside down and filled with greenery. The smaller of the two cones was used upside down.

Autumn Mantle Decoration

Autumn is just around the corner and it’s time to get out your fall decorations now! This mantle decoration and wreath from RAZ is a simple garland and battery powered pillar candles with a matching autumn wreath.

autumn mantle decoration


The autumn garland could be duplicated by using silk maple leaf sprays fastened together using chenille twists.

silk maple leaf twig


Fill in spaces with artificial gourds and pie pumpkins, or even real ones. Orange candles in a pumpkin spice adds a nice aroma to the room, or you could use battery powered pillar candles.

RAZ Acorns


These RAZ Acorns would make a nice touch placed on one end of the mantle. Finish off your creation with an autumn wreath.




The RAZ Fall Berry Wreath is full of autumn colors of orange, gold, brown and rust. A wreath stand is a great alternative to hanging a wreath on the wall. This stand from RAZ will fit right on your mantle and hold an average 24″ wreath.

It's almost fall...y'all!

Using Lighted Branches in Centerpieces


This beautiful arrangement by RAZ is created with decorations from the Tinsel Town Collection. The red and green lighted branches are new for 2010 and are sold in a bundle of three branches. The container is a diva style red boot and it is filled with greenery and red berry stems.

This arrangement could be adapted to most any kind of container and filled with fresh greenery or glittered pine branches. Any sort of colorful glittered berry or ball spray would work equally as well. The lighted branches are available in clear lights, red and green lights or clear lights on snow frosted limbs.



This arrangement is designed with decorations from the Iced Trellis collection using the snowy or frosted branches with clear lights, snow frosted pine limb with pinecones and a white container. The snowed pinecone candle holders make great accents for this arrangement. The snow frosted branches with tiny lights give a crisp, fresh look to this holiday creation. Fresh greenery could easily be added (no water containers though, the branches are electric). The Iced Snow Twig would look equally as well in this container. The Silver and Snowed Pinecone cluster ornament could be worked in the greenery or separated and wired in the greenery stems or branches.


This large decoration is created with items from the 2010 Bird Collection.It is created using a large floor urn or flower pot and filled with classic red berry stems, greenery and lighted branches. It coordinates with the beautiful mantel arrangement. The use of red and green for your holiday creations is classic. It works for any home, any room. The addition of snow covered branches adds interest and a bit of sparkle. The Leaf Berry Spray combines stunning red berries and small deep green leaves and could easily be used in this decoration. You could also use fresh stems (no water). The lighted branches are 36" in length, have brown stems and clear lights.


These arrangements are simple and easy to create! We hope these photos will get your creative juices flowing! Plan your holiday creating theme early start adding to you decorating collection well before Christmas. It will make your holiday less hectic and your home more beautiful.

Black Top Hat Centerpiece

Black Top Hat Centerpiece

The Black Top Hat from RAZ comes in several sizes ranging from 7" to 10.5". There is even a red one!
They are made of felt like material and paper and are lightweight. They look great positioned on a tree in a jaunty sort of position and even as a tree topper. You can also nestle them under the lower branches, on top of packages, tabletops and mantels. Save your box that they were shipped it so you can keep it year after year. 




 Peppermint Tapers (battery powered)




To protect the Top Hat, your arrangement should be made in a smaller container and then set the container over in the hat. A fresh arrangement should be made carefully making sure you have a water proof container inside the hat, probably double-proof. 

This photo is used to give you some ideas. The Top Hat centerpiece would look great with regular tapers (don't light them) or a different type of spray. Snow covered frosted branches would make an outstanding arrangement. The Top Hat is already embellished with a band, bow and floral piece.

Fill with Snowball Ornaments - Cold, Frosty, Crunchy! 

Fill with tall Peppermint Candy Canes


You could also fill with real candy peppermint sticks to give away as treats to your guests (just use an inner container and something to set them on to make them stick out of the hat higher). Fill in the gaps around the container with some white poly covered with loose "snowflakes."
