Fresh Spring Foliage

Bring your garden to the table with a lush spring centerpiece. To get the look, place cut white bearded irises amid foliage plants like ferns, ivy, sorrel, and Columbine. You can keep all of these in their nursery pots, because the decorative basket hides the containers. The cut flowers will last for about a week, then you can either replace them or distribute the plants around your house or garden.

Flowering Branches

Early-flowering branches like redbud are alluring after a long winter, but their heaviness can make them daunting to arrange. Enter the floral frog, which secures branches even in a low vessel so you can show off their shape. Soften the base of the arrangement with other early-spring flowers like tulip magnolias and hellebores.

Mixed Tulip Arrangement

It can be hard to choose among the huge variety of tulips available in the spring—so don’t! Instead, create an arrangement that shows off standard, double, and parrot types in several colors. With stems held in place by a floral frog (which is hidden by polished stones), this spring arrangement allows a mass of flowers to emerge from the shallowest of dishes.

Purple Floral Arrangement

Although the flowers in this stunning spring centerpiece come from a florist, you could substitute garden flowers or blossoms from flowering shrubs. For maximum impact and the most natural look, gather the blooms into clusters of like flowers, rather than placing them individually into a more carefully arranged bouquet.

Spring Tulips

Tulips shine with their own personality, and because they continue to grow after cutting, they'll even rearrange themselves in a vase. Leave stems long for a playful arrangement, or cut the stems short to gather the flowers tightly together. Tulips are thirsty, so refill the dish with water daily to prolong the life of the blooms.

Cool Hues

bouquet of pink and purple flowers — Keller + Keller

A tin bowl and saucer display welcome spring's arrival with an an assortment of purple hyacinth, blue grape hyacinth, plum-hue tulips, grape fritillaria, and ruffled columbine foliage accented with a black pussy willow arrangement added to the flowers. Begin by crisscrossing the willow branches to form a "nest" through which all the other stems can be inserted, weaving each flower just where you want it in the design. Notice how the dark centers of the tulips echo the black catkins.

Living Vase

Cover a small galvanized bucket with fresh-cut French pussy willow branches for a lovely living vase. To make it, cut enough pussy willow stalks to embellish the container's exterior and secure with twine. Then, fill the vase with bright pink blooms (we used light and dark pink tulips) and additional pussy willow branches for a cohesive look. Place the vase on a galvanized tray and add a few spring trinkets for a seasonal centerpiece.

Dried Hydrangea Arrangement

Dried hydrangeas, globe thistle, and ornamental oregano create a beautifully simple arrangement for a spring centerpiece. A hidden grid of floral or transparent tape across the top of the vase keeps the cloud of blooms in place. The muted tones of dried flowers lend themselves well to a springtime pastel palette.

A large-mouth clear clear jar easily becomes the perfect vessel for an Easter centerpiece. Place a clear drinking glass in the center of the jar and gently stack dyed ceramic eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Then, fill the glass with water and add fresh blooms.

Pussy Willow Arrangement

The common pussy willow is instantly recognizable, but there are so many other unique varieties for the landscape and the vase. Mixing several cultivars in one large arrangement makes a dramatic impact—and showcases botanical diversity. Here, the large galvanized jug holds four different types of the branches, while heritage pussy willow stems fill a small accent vase.
