Spring has officially sprung but we still have a few remnant snow piles hangin’ on for dear life. This time of year I find it harder to pass by the floral section of the grocery store without snatching up a few blooms. I can’t wait until I can clip fresh flowers from the yard, but for now I have to settle for store-bought. I thought it would be fun to show you how I created a colorful centerpiece with my latest bunch of cheery flowers.

I like my flower arrangements sweet and simple … nothing formal or fussy.

I started with a French grain sack type runner to soften the table.

Then I added my white cast aluminum platter – a recent vintage find at the antique store.

I like the mix of a hard surface against the softer surface – it’s unexpected.

Then comes the fun of adding brightly colored flowers stuffed in mason jars.

I used 2 clear mason jars, and one aqua. I purposely didn’t spend much time arranging the flowers.

I wanted to keep them simple and casual.

Each jar has its own adornment. This one wears a 3D paper heart tied with twine.

And this one wears a simple raffia bow.

The blue jar needs no embellishment.

All grouped together, these individual bouquets make an impactful, colorful centerpiece.

I love all these bold colors together! It really brightens up the room and makes me smile.

It’s funny how a simple gathering of flowers comes together to make a colorful centerpiece that brightens up my farmhouse kitchen as I wait for spring to fully arrive! It was in the 50’s today, but we’re expecting more snow next week. Sigh.
