Centerpieces always add that special touch to a house. Anyone can make these for little to nothing. They can be used for parties, seasonal times of the year, or just for decorating or staging. I'm always using natural elements from outside for centerpieces, especially living on the Gulf Coast, I have access to a lot of tropical plants.
Most of these are using things you already have and using fresh flowers or fruit. Very creative cute ideas!
Here are some photos of some centerpieces. Enjoy!!

I love posts like this. They are more usefull than they get credit for. I'm always up for learning about centerpieces. (And yes, I am a straight male).
Hi Cindy, All of these look great. I especially like the pumpkin one with the flowers.
Cindy ~ these are fun and creative centerpiece designs with lots of new ideas!
Thanks for another well written post and looking forward to more posts from you.
Hi Cindy~ These are so cute. I love being creative, and these would be lots of fun to make! Thanks for sharing.
Cindy, some very cute ideas. I'm always looking for new creative centerpieces. Thanks for sharing!
Michael-Glad you like, try one out! Hey, there's nothing wrong with guys liking a ahome to look nice!
Shirley-Just in time for Halloween!
Maureen-They are easy and pretty...can't beat that!
Eric-You're welcome, I'll try to keep them interesting.
Vickie-They really are easy and effective, check out the link too!
Donna-Aren't they? I have some cylinders, that I'll be using for the floating apples.
Donna, very cute ideas....I always love using fruit for my table. They last MUCH longer than flowers and if you place them when they are still pretty green, there are always healthy snacks when you rotate them out!
Hi, Cindy. I live in a rural county in Tennessee and there are no home stagers here. I love to read stagers' posts to get ideas that will help my sellers, especially inexpensive ideas using materials that they already have. Thanks!
Hi Cindy! I love this magazine and look forward to receiving it every month and their email tips.
Bobbi-I do too, they look so pretty that you don't want to eat them.
Leslie-Great, hope this helps, glad you give your sellers tips!
Cathy Lee-I get so many magazines, and then I don't want to thow them away, because I love so many of the photos. I had to stop some of them and this was one of them. I really liked it though.
Hi Cindy - Great topic with the holidays coming up, and your title is sure to draw in lots of Google traffic!
It's always fun to see how creative designers can be with simple materials. I like the 3 green bowls best - so easy and yet so attractive.
Thanks for these great centerpiece ideas.
I love the fruit centerpieces. They also reminds me of the movie "The Breakup" with Vince Vaughn & Jennifer Aniston.
Always looking for new ideas. These are simple ideas that anyone can incorporate. Thanks for sharing Cindy!
Nice post, Cindy. I'm always looking for new centerpiece ideas. I don't think the large serving bowl with the Hershey Kisses would last long in my house, however...
Thanks for sharing Cindy. I finally broke down and brought some faux fruit into my own home as I can't keep the fresh uneaten for long. Most guests would never guess that they aren't real. Great, creative ideas!
We don't set tables much so a great, artistic centerpiece is what we choose. Thank you for sharing these super ideas. We use apples and artichokes alot!
Cindy: Thanks for pointing us in the direction of these great centerpiece ideas. This magazine is one of my favorites and the pomegranate/plum piece is yummy!
John-Thanks, didn't think about Google, but that would be a nice perk!
Kate-It's very effective, and easy!
Lori-They were just too cute not to share.
Julie-Funny, that was just on the other night too!
Michele-Exactly, you don't have to be a professional to do these.
Cathy-True, anything with chocolate would not last long.
Ginger- I know, I bought some lemons, they looked so real, and I have a lemon tree, isn't that sad...lol
Lori-I don't do too much at home, for centerpieces, unless I have company, but we have so much in the yard that can be used, I need to be more creative.
Debra-It has some great easy ideas, what I think the majority of people like.
Cindy: I loved the green apples floating in a vase so simple yet fresh and attractive. I also loved the foil wraped kisses in the vase. That would be perfect for open houses and the such, not so good for my house though the kisses would be gone in no time.
Kimberley-Maybe you could use leftover Halloween candy.
Cindy, great ideas! I love to create centerpieces when I am on the job. A little element of surprise never hurts! Thanks for sharing.
Patty-I agree, every house needs an element of surprise.
