A simple centerpiece can instantly upgrade any dining table, coffee table, or bookcase. Not only do centerpieces add color and freshness to a room, but they are also one of the easiest decorative items when it’s time to update your look. During the summer months, you can use fresh cut flowers from your garden as an affordable centerpiece while also adding a sweet scent to your room. But if you’re looking for a long-lasting summer flower arrangement, you can also use artificial flowers and greenery in your favorite vase (which we won’t reveal). Get inspired by these summer centerpiece decorations to create your own stunning seasonal display.
01. Hydrangea Center Ornament
Keep it simple and create a beautiful summer favourite. The classic white hydrangea with huge clusters of flowers and large green leaves adds texture and interest to the central décor. If you want, you can use more colorful flowers, or let the hues of the vase sparkle, like this blue pottery.
02. Minimalist Centerpiece
Skip the flowers altogether and make your centerpiece simple and elegant. Feathery pink fibers provide color and texture in the middle of the table. The tall cone candle adds height and sophistication to this outdoor dining setting.
03. Outdoor Center Decorations
Get ready for backyard gatherings with casual decorations featuring cut flowers in the center. This wooden vase holds an eclectic mix of white, yellow, and light purple flowers. Placed on a flipped aluminum case with a blue tablecloth, this summer centerpiece connects all the items for an outdoor picnic.
04. Tall Centerpiece
Summer floral arrangements using tall flowers such as delphinium or foxglove can increase the height of the table. These flower clusters add a lot of color and can fill a gap on a table or wall. The design uses flowers to fill the empty space next to large art prints.
05. Colorful Flowers
Bright vases can add life to a room just as much as the flowers they hold. The blue glass and earthenware vase used in the design contrasts with bright pink and yellow flowers. However, the vase is in harmony with other elements in the room, such as table runners and glassware, to create a cohesive look.
06. Tropical Center Ornaments
Centered on tropical flowers and foliage, it fully embraces the summer atmosphere. A simple glass vase allows the monstera leaves and orange bird of paradise to be the focal point in this arrangement. Place this large centerpiece on a plush dining table or let it glow on its own on an empty coffee table.
07. Planter Box
Take cues of summer flower arrangement ideas from window boxes. There is a rustic wooden box in the center of the table. Fill it with white flowers, greenery, and even fresh lemons to create a subtle yet delicate centerpiece.
08. Summer Knick-Knacks
Flower arrangements don’t have to be big to have a significant impact on your design. There are several vases on this table, each with only a few flower stems. The minimalist look allows a variety of orange and pink flowers to be scattered across the table, creating a spontaneous, casual feel.
09. Clustered Arrangement
Large branches with green leaves and clusters of white flowers make up a striking centerpiece. Due to its size, placing this arrangement on a coffee table can add vibrancy to the room without overwhelming the dining table. Place the flowers in a blue vase and associate them with the blue tones used in the rest of the room.
10. Cactus Clusters
Cacti and succulents thrive in the hot summer weather. This set of three clay pots, paired with cacti and plump succulents, is a casual but fun centerpiece. When there are no fresh flowers, these potted plants can serve as a quick option to add life to your table.
11. Pastel Centerpiece
As this centerpiece proves, sometimes minimalism is the best option for creating summer flower arrangements. An assortment of purple, orange, pink, and white flowers goes perfectly with quirky table décor like curved candles and purple cloud placemats.
12. Fine Porcelain
Sometimes, delicate porcelain can make the dining table feel very formal. However, the casual nature of this yellow and orange summer centerpiece makes the whole environment feel more relaxed. The colors go well with the tablecloth and dishes and look cohesive.
13. Pink Summer Centerpiece
When you have large flowers like peonies, it’s best to let them shine on their own. A simple white mug makes the flowers stand out on the coffee table. The bold pink flowers also contrast with the white furniture and wooden coffee table in the room’s design.
14. Two-Layer Display
For large dining tables, consider raising the table with a second tier. The wooden cake stand on this table provides a platform to lift a vase filled with spiky flowers to new heights. When paired with another large row of yellow flowers, the extra height adds to the playfulness.
15. Succulent Dish Garden
A succulent dish garden is the perfect centerpiece for this eclectic table. Different shapes of leaves and green and brown colors go perfectly with a bright, busy table setting. The large circular centerpiece also adds a touch of earthy tones to balance out the primary colors used in the design.
16. Mix Summer Cores
