Tools and Supplies Needed to Make this Simple Easter Table Centerpiece

• A mix of fresh spring flowers (I used a variety of daisies, roses, and carnations, but you can choose your favorites!)
• A medium-sized vase or container for your arrangement
• Floral foam
• Scotch tape
• Floral tape
• Utility knife
• Faux Easter eggs
• Bamboo skewers
• Floral food
• Greenery for added texture (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Vase

First, fill your vase with water and add some floral food to help your flowers stay fresh.

I know it’s easy to skip this step. (I’ve been guilty of it plenty of times!)

But, if you’re going to take the time to make a centerpiece, you’ll want to enjoy it for as long as possible.

And a little floral food can go a long way in keeping your flowers looking fresh for days.

Once it’s dissolved, place a floral foam brick in the water.

My foam brick fit perfectly in my rectangular hobnail vase, but if needed, you can use a sharp utility knife to to cut the floral foam to the size and shape for your vase.

Make sure your foam fits snugly, and if it wobbles, use a bit of waterproof adhesive for floral tape to hold it firmly in place.  

Once you have your floral foam in place, let it soak, but resist the urge to push it down.

It may seem countertintuitive, but floral foam is filled with tiny air pockets, and as it absorbs water, those air pockets disappear.

If you press it down, you might trap dry spots inside, and any flowers that reach these spots won’t have a water source, which meaning your beautiful Easter centerpiece won’t last as long.

Step 2: Create a Tape Grid

Next, use strips of Scotch tape to create a grid across the top of your vase.

If you’ve never used this floral arranging trick before, it’s a game changer!

Using tape to create a grid not only helps to keep your flowers in place, but it makes arranging them so much easier!

The grid helps hold each stem right where you want it, so they don’t all flop to the sides or bunch up in one spot making it easy to get a balanced arrangement without all the frustration.

Step 3: Add Your Spring Flowers

Next, start adding your flowers one by one, beginning with the largest blooms and working your way down.

This adds fullness to your Easter floral centerpiece for a more finished look.

I started with some big, bright pink Gerbera daisies, then layered in smaller purple and white daisies.

After that, I tucked in a few mini pink roses and pale yellow carnations for extra texture and color.

Don’t be afraid to tweak your Easter centerpiece as you go—one of the best parts of a DIY project is making it your own!

Step back every so often, turn your vase, and make little adjustments.

You can add or remove flowers as needed (did you notice from earlier photos that I nixed the Easter lilies?).

And if you spot any gaps, just fill them in until everything looks just right.

Step 4: Incorporate Faux Easter Eggs

To finish your DIY centerpiece, gently tuck a few faux Easter eggs into the arrangement.

You can either place them directly in the vase, scatter them around the base, or nestle them within the flowers for an extra charming touch.

If you’d like to add your eggs like I did, you’ll need a bamboo skewer to secure them.

Be sure to trim the skewer to the right size so that the eggs tuck in nicely with the height of the arrangement.

I also took the extra step of using some leftover green spray paint to blend the skewers in with the flowers, but this step is totally optional!

Luckily, my eggs already had small holes at the bottom, so I simply wiggled the skewer into the hole and gently pushed it into the floral foam.

If you’re planning to do something similar, I’d recommend using hollow, soft plastic eggs like the ones I used—they’re easy to work with!

Feel free to add as many (or as few) eggs as you like until you’re happy with how the centerpiece looks.

Step 5: Adjust and Display Your Centerpiece

After you’ve added all the flower and the eggs, take a step back and make any final adjustments to your Easter centerpiece.

Then, place it in the center of your dining table to complete your Easter table decor.

Other Ideas for Decorating an Easter Table

Now that your DIY Easter centerpiece is ready, it’s time to set the rest of your Easter table!

Here are a few Easter table decorating ideas to complement your floral arrangement:

• Layer Your Table Settings: Use pastel or floral-patterned plates for a beautiful garden-inspired Easter table setting.
• Add Easter Bunny Accents: Small ceramic bunnies or folded bunny-shaped napkins make adorable Easter decorations.
• Use Pretty Linens: A soft, pastel-colored table runner or napkins can help to create a cohesive look between your Easter table centrepiece and place settings.
• Incorporate Candles: Taper candles add elegance to your table without overpowering your centerpiece.
• Personalized Easter Place Settings: Use place cards to mark each guest’s seat.
