There is something about a simple yet impactful dining table centerpiece!
Spring is just around the corner, and it's time for a change, starting with your dining table centerpiece! With so many options to choose from, selecting the right components for your centerpiece can be a daunting task. To help you get started, consider the size and shape of your dining table. If you have a smaller table, remember that less is more. However, you can definitely get away with a more elaborate centerpiece when working with a larger table. Regardless of the table's size, I suggest taking a minimalistic approach to achieve an elegant and elevated look. Picture a massive table with a simple yet sophisticated centerpiece – it's a surefire way to add that extra touch of class to your dining room.
Achieving an effortless and sophisticated look for your table can be a challenge if you're not clear on the vision, but there are some tricks you can use to make it easy. One great method is the "groups of three" technique. This approach is simple to execute, even if you don't have a clear vision in mind. I recently applied this technique at the Blackwelder Project and was pleased with how little effort it took to choose my centerpiece combo.
Here's how it works:
Start with the focal point: I began with a bowl of pears to add a pop of color to my table (you can use faux fruit instead of real fruit when staging a space) atop a stack of plates. By adding plates underneath, I achieved height with my focal piece!
Add two supporting pieces: To enhance the focal piece, I paired it with two complementary objects. When choosing my 3 elements in the "groups of three" method, I like to incorporate pieces that are directly connected with the dining experience. What I mean by that is that I like centerpieces that can actually be left on the table for meals. In Blackwelder, I chose to use a pitcher. (I also refer to this as a "functional centerpiece.") For the final touch, I chose to use a white textured vase with stems I cut from a tree in the backyard. Adding natural elements such as the stems from a tree warms up the space and adds interest to any arrangement!
Enjoy the results: This straightforward technique creates a clean, fresh and organic look that is perfect for any occasion.
There are so many amazing options to consider to achieve a simple, yet elegant centerpiece!
