Florals + Greenery for Our Coastal Cottage Christmas Mantel
Today I wanted to share about our Christmas mantel! This year I thought it would be fun to try something a little different with floral and evergreen elements I already had. I layered a couple types of florals alongside evergreen garland, scattered pinecones, and the soft glow of (faux) candles. It was so simple to make but I think it makes such a pretty winter statement!
