Centerpieces

Everyone has something that can be used as a centerpiece. Here are some ideas that do not require fresh flowers.

I can't remember where I got this but I like it because it is similar to the 19th century painting called "The Shell."

The tea tray is a always a perfect centerpiece because there is an endless selection of teapot styles. Add a fake cake that you make yourself from silk florals.
Then, there is always the glass reamer or juice squeezer. Here, it is with those pine cones that look like roses.

And here it has a selection of pastel treats in it.

This is a floral garland wrapped several times around a wax pillar.

An ordinary votive will always do for a centerpiece.

A place of shells and rocks in sand. You don't even have to go to the beach to get them. Sometimes you can find them at the dollar store.

There are some beautiful fake cakes available online which make great centerpieces.

Fruit centerpieces go way, way back to the earliest of times. Paintings of them can be found on the walls of ancient cities. Baskets or bowls of fruit were always considered a great luxury.

These are just a few things you can do without a great knowledge of centerpieces. Just arrange them, and step back to have a look. Rearrange and look again, until you get it the way you want it. Use your own colors and styles
