CREATIVE EASTER CENTERPIECES

We created a collection of whimsical to chic Easter centerpiece ideas to dress up your table this year. With a week left until the holiday we thought a few inspriational pieces would spark some ideas of your own. Enjoy the photos!

 Cut the stem off of a gerber daisy and place in a small vase or pretty drinking glass. Add a small votive candle on top of the daisy and -wow!- instant beauty.



 Remove the top off of an empty eggshell placed in a glass egg cup and add small springtime flowers through the opening (keep in mind the scale of the centerpiece!)......



 ....or instead of adding flowers to the eggshell, try putting a small votive inside.



Little bunny Peeps, jelly beans and bright colors make this such a fun piece for Easter!



 Dress up a large glass vase with colored eggs and leavy greens!



 How cute is this bunny folded napin?!



 Even adding simple brown bags to hold the flowers creates a shabby chic appeal to any table.



 If having an Easter meal outdoors, tie an egg with ribbon (filled with jelly beans or hard boiled) to each corner of your table cloth to weigh it down. Genius!



 Spread the petals of a large flower out and add little eggs to the center of the flower to create an elegant nest centerpiece.



 Bunching the same flowers together in a flower arrangement creates more of a natural effect rather then spreading them out evenly in a more arranged piece.



 An old watering can adds instant spring appeal to flower arrangements.
