All you need is a little creativity.
Take this arrangement on the left, for example. It's simple and striking, and it cost just a few dollars to make.
It would be a perfect for a casual garden theme party, a BBQ party or picnic, or an Easter birthday celebration, don't you think?

You can design your centerpiece to reflect the season if you like. Seasonal fruit piled high in a glass hurricane always makes a pretty display.

Arrange special objects on a pretty plate for an interesting look. This is a great way to incorporate your own collections into the design. One of us once made a centerpiece using a collection of feathers and sea shells inside a leather box. It had a cool vintage air about it. In addition to having a lot of visual interest it ended up being a good conversation starter too.
