How to Create a Simple Table Centerpiece

It’s easy and fun to create a beautiful simple centerpiece for your table with just four every-day items.

I love a simple centerpiece and I am so excited to be in a fun Valentine’s Day hop with a great group of bloggers. If you are visiting from Glammys House, welcome!

What you’ll need to create a simple floral centerpiece for a table

• base such as a tray or basket
• vessel of some sort (I used vintage medicine bottles)
• flowers
• twinkle lights (optional but fun!)

Types of Bases for Centerpieces

The first thing you’ll need is a tray or shallow basket to keep your vases or vessels corraled. For a round table like mine, I prefer a round tray. If you have a long rectangular table, you may want to choose a long base as a small round one may get visually lost.

Centerpiece bases can be a cake stand, tray, cutting board, shallow basket, or even a placemat. Here are a few ideas-

How to display a collection

Choose several different sizes. Place the taller ones in the center and the smaller ones around the edges. This would work for a larger rectangular centerpiece as well. You want to make sure that the smaller ones go all around so it’s not a one-sided arrangement.

After I had the flowers arranged I added some battery operated fairy lights for a little twinkle. I simply tucked the battery pack under the cake stand so you can’t see it.
