Creative Centerpieces!


    Make your springtime table the center of attention with easy, beautiful centerpieces that you can create in an instant. Bring on the whimsy with teapots, pinwheels and pennants, or keep it classic with a simple floral arrangement. Whichever direction you take, these looks are perfect for graduation parties, weddings and beyond.
Creative Centerpieces
Our Guide to a Winning Centerpiece
  • Choose an Unexpected Container: Think outside the box when picking a vessel. In lieu of a traditional vase, use an antique coffee tin or a collection of soda bottles. Instead of a bowl, try a teapot or fruit crate.
  • Work with Color: Even if you’re creating an all-white centerpiece, be sure you’re displaying it against something saturated, like a colorful wall or tablecloth. The contrasting hue will give a neutral look extra depth and texture.
  • Give it a Twist: Before you complete your centerpiece, look for a quick, clever touch that will take it to the next level. Add height with a stack of vintage encyclopedias at the base. Or, lend a fresh shock of color to a glass vessel with sliced fruit, sea glass or sand.
