The Perfect Spring Centerpiece

    Looking for inspiration to make your room say "Welcome to Spring"? Martha Stewart has arranged a variety of Spring centerpieces to show how different looks can be achieved using different techniques. 


Using small buds instead of fully blooming flowers can make a statement. Try to vary the arrangement such as the one above using Daffodils, Tulips, Lily of the Valley, and Paperwhites. 


A variety of lilacs, arranged by hue make an interesting visual effect without adding extra colours.


 Bright, saturated peonies make a statement as they spill from their container.


These fresh Tulips and Daffodils make a tall centerpiece and are uniquely wrapped in a nest type binding.


  Tulips cut smaller at the stem will make a shorter centerpiece without compromising any of the colour and excitement of the flowers. 


I love that these little mini arrangements are situated inside hollowed out eggshells.
