Dried Wheat
Centerpiece
If you want something new and exciting, why not display
dried stalks of wheat or rice, especially if you don’t have any fresh flowers
around?
I find this rustic
centerpiece very whimsical and inspiring. For people who want to bring the
beauty and blossom inside their living or dining room, then, this DIY
centerpiece is an option! It’s very simple and easy to create and the materials
are very abundant. Whenever I plan to throw a little spring party at home, the
dried wheat centerpiece always comes to my mind. I’d usually gather several
manzanita branches, then I would place them on a tall vase and there I have a
nice and attractive centerpiece. I love the branches because they look gorgeous
while the twists and curls all add up to the drama.
Balloons
Balloons have really come a long way. They’re now among the
most popular centerpiece items, especially for special occasions. I once tried
black balloon when I held a summer get-together with high school friends at
home and I was very happy that everyone liked what I did! Here’s the secret to
how you do it. First, layer kraft paper on top of a neutral tablecloth then top
it with black-and-white table runner. I tied the balloons with chandelier
crystals so to keep them on the table. I also placed scented votive candles to
enhance the ambiance and make it more relaxing. One magazine told me that to make the balloons personalized,
try to embellish each with photographs, especially if you’re celebrating
birthdays, anniversaries, or special holidays with friends and families.
Two-in-One DIY
Centerpiece
What a nice centerpiece you’ll make if you try placing a
peony on a small crystal or ceramic container. Get lots of them then group them
together and you’ll see the nice effect. Aside from its decorative role, this
centerpiece also functions as party giveaways. You can tell guests to take a
vase home at the end of the evening, and you've got your favors covered, too.
Add variety to the height by cutting the flowers into various lengths before
placing them on the vase.
Yellow-and-White
Wedding Centerpieces
Create bold yellow-and-white centerpieces by arranging
jonquils, ranunculus, tulips, and sweet peas in single-variety containing. What
I love about this centerpiece is that it boasts of rich variety of textures
that will look pleasant to the eyes. Go for neutral themed vases, which are eye
friendly, then, tie a yellow ribbon on each vase for added appeal.
Fresh Flower
Centerpiece
Any vase will look wonderful and more exciting if you try enhancing
its look with bands of scrap-booking paper and bell strings. Just wrap around
the vase with a strip of scrap-booking paper. Accentuate the vase with strings
the bells and buttons then tie it around the vase. Heighten the drama with
boughs of fresh flowers. Make three to five of these, then place them at the
center of your table and you’ll have a very attractive flower centerpiece to catch
everyone’s eyesight.
