Floral Arrangements — Artichokes are a great addition to holiday floral arrangements because they mix well with all types of flowers. Try adding them to floral arrangements using holly and roses or stacking Baby Artichokes in a tall vase with long stem flowers for added color.

On the Table — Make Artichoke centerpiece by adding the veggie to a holiday bowl or wicker basket along with green pears, red grapes and pinecones. Place cards can be made by cutting out rectangular pieces of heavy stock paper and including each guest’s name before slipping them between an Artichoke’s leaves.

Candle Holders — Artichoke candleholders are beautiful and offer a lot of variety, as you can opt to use different candle shapes, sizes and colors. Turn your Artichoke into a candleholder by pulling open the Artichoke from the center and removing the correct amount of center leaves, placing the candle inside and lighting.

Around the House — To keep the Artichoke theme going even after guests leave the table, be sure to incorporate Artichokes in other areas of your house, like the guest bathroom and living room. Artichokes look great on their own, so in these rooms, simply displaying three or four Artichokes on a table or countertop will work.
