Spring Inspired Bouquets and Centerpieces

Today I have some spring inspired bouquets and centerpieces for you to check out. When you think of flowers for spring, you immediately think pastels.

This spring, I want to challenge you to think outside the box, and take a look at these beautiful springtime bouquets and centerpieces from Minoo Hersini, Creative Director at Au Ciel Design Studio.

For me nothing says spring like green. These arrangements feature lively yellows, greens, whites and cream colors. Don’t be afraid to switch it up and be unique when you’re planning your spring bouquets!

One thing I love to include in my centerpieces is the unexpected, like fruits and vegetables, or herbs. Don’t forget you can add some of these elements into your spring or Easter arrangements.

Bringing in a little sunshine in a vase can definitely brighten a rainy spring day.

I could see several of these as fabulous Easter table centerpieces, for an Easter brunch.

Hopefully these lovely centerpieces will inspire you with ideas to create your own spring arrangements. You can check out more of Minoo Hersini’s spring decorating ideas at Au Ciel Design Studio.

The Lenox Peeps Easter Collection

Lenox peeps basket

I absolutely love the Lenox Peeps Easter Collection! My favorite piece is this Lenox PEEPS Easter Basket. Aren’t those Bunny Peeps peeking over the edge sooo cute?
The basket would be fabulous as an Easter table centerpiece, along with this Lenox PEEPS Bunny and Chick Salt & Pepper Set.

Both the Lenox Peeps Basket and the Lenox Peeps Salt and Pepper set are hand painted, and constructed from Lenox fine china. Both also feature 24-carat gold rimming for an extra special touch.

Give your Easter party a whole Peeps theme. Use some Peeps for cupcake toppers, dip a few in chocolate, or make some Peep s’mores for your guests.
