Can you believe July is nearly at an end and there is only so much summer left to enjoy!? So now is the perfect time to host a special evening with you and your favorites. Whether it be your family friends, spouse, relatives or even a good group a girlfriends. And there is no better excuse than to enjoy that special time around a cutesy table setting you created!
Here are my 7 DIY Summer themed table arrangements that you can create yourself with objects you can find around the house.
1. Floating Roses
Have a bouquet of flowers about to wilt? Hold on a sec before you throw them away! Find a vase and fill it with water. Then fill it with the wilted flowers of your choice! This creates a warm and lovely centerpiece that is sure to bring cheer around the table.
Tip: Do not leave flowers in water for longer than 12 hours. They will end up turning the water to muck and leave a terrible odor. So dump them out right after you're finished!
2. Simple Candle In A Vase
This low sitting vase was a gift to my husband and I from a family member. I came across it and thought it might look great with a candle in it! Well it didn't, I had to think of something else. I opened my kitchen towel drawer and pulled out my Mrs. sink towel. I folded it to where the printing would only show and squeezed it into the vase with my beeswax candle in between. Then Tah-duuuuh!!! My centerpiece was made.
3. Cookbook Centerpiece
If you're like me, then you love your cookbooks and should quite a few around the kitchen. Find 4 to 5 mid sized cookbooks and stack them in the center of your table (try not to spiral because it will look junky). Then place a figurine or object of your choice on top.
4. Desert Ridge
This centerpiece could not be simple enough. Find a small bucket and place it upside on your table. Stick 2 or 3 magnets on the side to catch the eye and a mason jar on the top. Add a tea light inside and you're done! I love wine so I picked one of my favorite bottles from an Oklahoma vineyard I support at the local Farmers Market.
5. Mason Jar Mash Up
Okay, if the last centerpiece was a challenge for you or you'd like something easier then this ones for you! Grab a basket and fill it with mason jars. Don't worry about any labels, it shows character!
Tip: Did you notice the table runner? All I did was take my unused ribbon I had and cut it just long enough to fit my table. I did the same in the opposite direction making a cross.
6. Mirrored Candle Trio
Some of you might have a smaller mirror around the house for decoration use. Like I have mine on the ottoman in my living room. Take that and place 2 uneven candle stands on it. Find 3 different sized candles in the same color scheme and set them like so.
Tip: I had leftover ribbon from my table runner idea and wrapped in around my beewax candle.
7. Southern Sweetness
Last but not least! My favorite. A southern mix of bright colors. Nothing says summer like neon or hot pink. I took a serving plate and set my beeswax candle from before on one side then created a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that are in season. This particular arrangement contains Gladiola's and Coxcomb's.
And that's it yall! I hope this 'how to' makes it easier on you.
XOXO
