Welcome to our gallery featuring a number of the most beautiful ideas for floral centerpieces for your dining table.

From formal arrangements fit to grace a wedding table at a reception to simple, sweet arrangements for summertime parties, you’re sure to find whatever you need in this gallery.

Some of the centerpieces featured are in traditional clear glass vases, while others embrace a more kitschy ideal and are in old ceramic teapots. Some of these arrangements are featured in vintage milk jugs or in burlap-wrapped cheap vases. There are an incredible amount of options when choosing a vase for your centerpiece.

Floral arrangements from florists can be very expensive, so if you choose to DIY your arrangement (you might have a spectacular garden that you can select blooms from) there are a few tips to make your arrangements last longer and look just as beautiful as professionally made arrangements.

Before you place your flowers in water, cut 1 inch away from the stem. The stems absorb water better from a fresh cut, so you’ll want to trim your flowers from time to time. For tight blooms, use warm water to help open up the petals and bigger blooms.

Using florist foam helps keep your flowers in place, and will help keep shorter flowers well-watered. Be sure to strip off any leaves that will fall below the waterline.

When arranging, place larger, heavier flowers first, then fill in with foliage and lighter, airier flowers. Your bouquet, when finished, should be one and a half times taller than your container, and the width should balance out the height.

For a subtler arrangement, pick monochromatic flowers in different textures instead of a variety of boldly colored flowers.

Bonus tip: it’s easier to arrange on a lazy susan, so you can spin the arrangement and ensure it looks good from all sides.

Happy arranging!
