How to Make a Stunning DIY Spring Flower Arrangement
Whether you use fresh flowers or your favorite faux flower stems, keep these flower arranging helpful hints in mind for the perfect spring centerpiece.
Choosing the Right Color Palette
When choosing the right color palette for your DIY spring flower centerpieces, consider the overall theme you want to achieve. Soft pastel shades like pale pink, light blue, and lavender can create a delicate and romantic look, perfect for a springtime gathering.
On the other hand, opting for a vibrant and bold color scheme such as fuchsia, orange, and yellow can add a pop of excitement and energy to your table decorations. Think about the mood you want to evoke and let that guide your color choices as you create stunning DIY flower arrangements for your dining room table.
Incorporating Easter Eggs for a Festive Touch
For an extra festive touch to your centerpiece arrangements, consider incorporating Easter eggs into your design for the spring season. This whimsical addition can bring a playful element to your spring table setting, perfect for Easter brunch or a spring celebration.
What You'll Need for DIY Spring Flower Centerpieces:
You can easily pick up most of these items at local grocery stores or online.
- A selection of stylish Easter eggs big or small size (avoid cheap plastic for a more elegant look)
- Floral foam or floral tape - optional, for if you are worried about your stems moving
- Small mason jar - size will depend on how big your vase is
- Glass vase or large glass jar
- Favorite focal flowers or stems
Adding Easter Eggs to a Pretty Spring Centerpiece
First, grab one of your small mason jars and place it inside a large glass jar or a larger clear vase that has a wide base. Traditional vases or glass jars will only work if the width can fit a mason jar inside, so be sure to test that first.
Next, place your eggs inside the glass jar, but around the mason jar. I find it easiest to use a lid, small plate or a net to cover the top of the mason jar so the eggs don't land in there.
Fill the eggs in all the way around the jar and then remove the net. Finish off this simple centerpiece with some seasonal stems. If you want fresh flower arrangements, put water inside the mason jar and top if off with your favorite blooms. A faux floral arrangement also works. You can use floral foam, tape or even chicken wire to secure your stems in place.
This simple and affordable embellishment can instantly elevate your smile floral centerpieces and make a standout feature of your spring decorating.
Utilizing Beautiful Flowers in Season
To truly elevate your DIY spring flower centerpieces, consider utilizing the type of flower that is in season. By using fresh blooms that are at their peak freshness and vibrancy for the time of year, you can enhance the overall charm and beauty of your spring arrangement.
Seasonal flowers not only add a natural and authentic touch to your centerpiece but also ensure that your design feels cohesive and harmonious.
Alternatively, if there is a strong preference for not using fresh flower types, I am a big advocate for faux arrangements as well. You can find absolutely great options for stunning faux flowers without sacrificing the elegant appearance.
But my number one tip to really create a cohesive and visually engaging table setting that will impress your guests? The secret ingredient you need to perfect your DIY spring flower centerpieces: big stems. It's so simple that it's almost unbelievable!
Big stems or large, beautiful blooms are the main ingredient to making a big impact with your own arrangement. These can make all the difference when it comes down to your display. Big stems are ideal for creating high visual interest at the top of your vase. And while you can use complimentary smaller flowers or filler flowers to add to the arrangement, ultimately, the largest stems will give you the most bang for your buck for visual impact and a focal point.
Creating a Focal Point for Your Dining Table
Consider creating a focal point for your dining table by incorporating a mixture of heights, textures, and colors in your DIY spring flower centerpieces. This will draw the eye in and create visual interest for your guests, making a lasting impression that will elevate the overall ambiance of your dining space.
Optional Decor for Focal Point:
- Figurines
- Additional plants and greenery
- Other small vases or jars
- Wooden box centerpiece
- Candle holders
- Dough bowl
And when it comes to putting it all together, easy tips can help you achieve a stunning and cohesive centerpiece effortlessly.
Easy Tips for Putting DIY Spring Flower Centerpieces Together
When assembling your DIY spring florals, start by choosing stems in season. I like to use tall stems so they fall out of the top of the vase. Group two flowers of similar colors together to create a cohesive look. For my own simple spring flower arrangement, I used stems with blossoms and weeping willows to create the cascading look. You can also mix and match contrasting hues for a vibrant and eclectic arrangement.
To add a finishing touch, consider incorporating some greenery or filler flowers to fill in any gaps and add texture to your arrangement. Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect balance for your dining table.
Remember to fill in around your floral centerpiece with additional spring decor. With a few easy tips and a bit of creativity, you can put together a stunning DIY spring flower centerpiece that will impress your guests and elevate your dining space.
