This is a great time to get a winter arrangement...buy left over [on sale]
silvery,,,glittery,,, foliage ...and add brilliant blue and shiny objects like
glass beads and white and blue candles put it all on a mirror laid flat or
arrange in a clear bowl or vase... let your imagination go

well silver candles are the best for winter months because they have a way of
fighting depression. Nope I'm serious. Why you think its used so much at
christmas time? Its shiny and has a secondary cause. But you can use white as
well its pretty for snow as well. Winter candles are wonderful, some scents are
now available such as snow or pine cone, pretty smells. Don't used pine cones
or pine needles after the second of January for winter decoration, its bad luck.
My suggestion would be red berries, nuts, apples, things of this nature. You
want to use winter "fruits and nuts and berries" to stay in your theme.
Actually the only time you should use flowers in a flower arrangement should be
about the time that they start to bloom to the time that they naturally die.
You can go to a store and get status, and ucylupus and other things of this
nature to go with your berrys and nuts and things. But for winter you want to
keep a winter theme, there are ways to dress it up to make it look pretty and
I'm sure you can come up with dozens of ways.

I would go with white flowers in a clear glass container, like this one, for
elegance:

want to add candles, I like the way this one has been added safely in a tall
glass votive:
