I normally start out with one of my beautiful crocheted doilies as a base and then create the centerpiece from there. First up is Dollar Tree tulips in a sweet thrifted Easter basket. Here I used a silver tray, then filled it with Ball jars, a basket with flowers and some Easter candies here and there.
Love it! So sweet and pretty.
This one is basically all the same pieces, except here I'm using fresh flowers my honey brought me and I've placed them in a tall glass vase. My blue vintage Ball jars are always an easy item to to add to my decor. These three are the newest to my collection so I think that's why I just kept using them here. Love them!
These flowers lasted so much longer than normal and many of them opened up much more after about 4 days. I think they were just happy to be away from the grocery store's crowded display!
Gorgeously simple!
Here I am using the Ball jars again. This time I switched out the doily and I filled the largest jar with faux Easter eggs and placed a few stems of Forsythia from our yard in the mix. I didn't leave this display too long after I snapped these photos, because well, fresh stems need water!
Isn't it sweet though? I love using florals from our yard to decorate with. That's free decor people!
Here I've added the fresh stems to a very tall thin vase. Since the Forsythia is flowered all the way down, this vase was perfect to see its beauty! :)
I loved the idea of the faux Easter eggs in a Ball jar, so I grabbed some of my Dollar Tree lavender stems and added them into the center.
I think its adorable! I left it sitting here until my fresh flowers had faded, then I added it to the centerpiece.
I also went ahead and created my Easter place setting too. Join me next week when I show you how I arranged each setting just by shopping my home for all the items needed!
If you loved this idea and want to save it for later, be sure to pin it to your favorite Pinterest board. I have a Pinterest board all set up just for Farmhouse Ideas ideas and I'm pinning something new every day.
It doesn't have to be done all at once. It is a slow process in the works! C-ya next time!
