Chase away the winter blues by creating a simple berry bouquet. Original, seasonal and stunning are stargazer lilies filling a small glass vase or ice bucket. The display is made more magnificent by employing red cranberries to anchor the fragrant flowers.

- 1 to 2 packages of fresh or frozen cranberries (enough to fill the glass ice bucket)
