Welcome to the 1st Centerpiece Wednesday!!
I am so excited to see what all of you have done!!
Today I am highlighting some beautiful sunflowers in a crackled finish vase that my mom got from a garage sale!! and my new cute rusty metal cloche.
I love the bright yellow of a sunflower and I found these at the grocery store ....3 large sunflowers for only $3.99 so I bought two sets so the bouquet would look fuller and then I added some cut branches off of a couple of trees from my backyard to add even more fullness.
Once I had these two items together I knew how I would set the rest of the table... casual and yet colorful (More of the table will be seen on Thursday for Tablescape Thursday so stay tuned)
For me....I think a centerpiece sets the tone of the table...what you use to place in the center will ususally determine how the rest of the table, mantel, coffee table, etc... will go.
Maybe you like things that shimmer and sparkle, or maybe you have a special keepsake that you like to put on your table...whatever it is...I hope what you use makes you happy when you look at it. I fell in love with this darling rusty metal cloche and knew it would make a great addition to my table. I liked it because it was different and could be used in a myriad of ways. I wanted to have some yummy dessert placed in it for this photo ....but I ran out time.
I did add one of my white napkin rings on the top to give it a tad of femininity :)
You can still purchase napkin rings here on my blog for $1.00 each.
I can't wait to see some of your creative ideas of how to put together a centerpiece. I love sharing ideas and finding creative new ways to do a centerpiece. I know we can all inspire one another to stretch ourselves as we continue to make our houses homes.

Don't forget to link up to this party and make sure you post a link back here to the Style Sisters so we can spread the word about Centerpiece Wednesdays! In the future I think it might be fun to have a theme or a color that we can work around. Are you ready for a challenge? Next week I think we should think about the upcoming holiday...memorial day. Red, White and Blue? 
Now lets have a Centerpiece Wednesday Party!!

ReplyDeleteLove the sunflowers and our new cloche. Two of my favorite things. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYour metal cloche has a nice heart design on it and its scalloped base is so pretty . I have a similar one that I used in one of Marty's cloche parties last fall. Love the sunflowers and the other bright uses of color for the tablescape. Thanks for hosting the par-tay!

Hi Karin...
ReplyDeleteOhhh my...your table centerpiece is absolutely gorgeous, my friend! I just love the vibrant yellows of those fabulous sunflowers...so fresh and so summery! The crackle vase that you have your sunflowers in is really pretty...it's perfect! I really did enjoy seeing those beautiful pops of yellow and orange...they just make my heart sing! Now I can't wait to see your entire tablescape...you've whetted my appetite for sure! Hehe! Your wire cloche is sooo pretty...of course, I love cloches of all types and sizes! I just think that everything looks better under a pretty cloche...don't you? It really would be perfect for a little dessert! Karin, this table is simply gorgeous! Thank you sooo much for sharing it with us and for hosting this fabulous Centerpiece party! I'm just tickled pink that I could join up for your very first party! Wishing you the best and much success, my friend! I love the idea of having a centerpiece theme once in awhile...sounds like great fun! Well my friend, I'm not sure that I'll be able to make next week's party. We're taking a little trip for a few days...I'm afraid that blogging will be on the back burner till I get back! But...I will be joining whenever I possibly can!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I would also like to post on a Wednesday when I feel that I have a great centerpiece. Thanks for the invitation! If I may ask, where did you purchase the metal cloche? I am from the Beehive State and am slowly putting together a Beehive tablescape. I would love to have a cloche like that...think it looks a bit like a beehive! Joni
ReplyDeletePretty table, love the sunflowers, they make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! Great idea to start a centerpiece meme! Thanks for inviting me!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to Savannah tomorrow for a long weekend!
