While looking around for easy centerpiece ideas, I came across several that were perfect for anyone looking for simple DIY centerpiece ideas they could create themselves for a wedding, holiday party, birthday party, or anniversary celebration.
I wanted to find arrangements that anyone, no matter their experience level, could do. And I wanted the cost to be reasonable.
I did find several centerpiece ideas shared by some of the best wedding and home decor bloggers that would work well.
Caterpillar Vase Arrangement
The first is a simple idea using this versatile glass caterpillar vase. It’s dead-simple to do, even for a novice, and it only takes a few flowers.
The example pictured uses a few ranunculus blooms, but could be done with any flowers.
If you have a small budget, this is a perfect idea for a small table accent. Because the vase is unique, it’s certain to be a conversation starter!

Another one of the DIY centerpiece ideas I ran across was this simple arrangement of white hyacinth stems, arranged in decorative milk jugs with a wire basket.
This arrangement can be created in less than 15 minutes, with a minimum flower cost.
One tip is to select flowers with healthy-looking foliage on the stem, which can be used as additional filler in your arrangement.
Using a rectangular basket like the one pictured, it is a perfect centerpiece for a rustic bridal table or dinner table for a more intimate gathering.
