How to Create a Colorful Centerpiece

flowers, home decor March 21, 2014

Spring has officially sprung but we still have a few remnant snow piles hangin’ on for dear life. This time of year I find it harder to pass by the floral section of the grocery store without snatching up a few blooms. I can’t wait until I can clip fresh flowers from the yard, but for now I have to settle for store-bought. I thought it would be fun to show you how I created a colorful centerpiece with my latest bunch of cheery flowers.

How-to-Create-Colorful-CenterpieceI like my flower arrangements sweet and simple … nothing formal or fussy.

 

French Grain Table RunnerI started with a French grain sack type runner to soften the table.

 

How to Create a CenterpieceThen I added my white cast aluminum platter – a recent vintage find at the antique store.

I like the mix of a hard surface against the softer surface – it’s unexpected.

 

Steps for creating a centerpieceThen comes the fun of adding brightly colored flowers stuffed in mason jars.

 

Colorful springtime centerpieceI used 2 clear mason jars, and one aqua. I purposely didn’t spend much time arranging the flowers.

I wanted to keep them simple and casual.

Colorful bouquet of flowers And this one wears a simple raffia bow.

How to make a colorful centerpieceAll grouped together, these individual bouquets make an impactful, colorful centerpiece.

 

DIY Colorful CenterpieceI love all these bold colors together! It really brightens up the room and makes me smile.

 

Colorful centerpiece in a farmhouse kitchenIt’s funny how a simple gathering of flowers comes together to make a colorful centerpiece that brightens up my farmhouse kitchen as I wait for spring to fully arrive! It was in the 50’s today, but we’re expecting more snow next week. Sigh.

    So pretty, I have resorted to buying flowers from the grocery store too. I just need a dose of Spring while this snow sticks around.

    Love the display of flowers. Does not take anything fancy but pretty flowers to brighten your day. The platter is just perfect to show them off and the flowers show off the platter … win-win.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Jennifer,
    The simple flower arrangement is beautiful, and my eyes kept looking at that equally beautiful piece of vintage trim in the background…all chippy white with a swath of pink!

    I believe we are past our last freeze, but you can never be too sure that an unexpected cold front will swoop down from Canada all the way to north Texas. Hope your snow melts quickly and spring will finally arrive for you.
