I love saving centerpiece ideas to my Pinterest boards and since it’s time to welcome spring, I was looking for ideas. I found this Lavender Centerpiece from Kirkland’s that I thought Gloria would love for her farmhouse decor. I had a white metal planter on hand that I bought at my local Goodwill not long ago that I knew would look pretty for this.

The planter was in really good condition and since I was putting this together for Gloria’s farmhouse decor, she wanted to keep it white. I cleaned it thoroughly just using soap and water.

While Gloria doesn’t include a lot of color in her decor, she does add a pop of light pink or light purple here and there. An assortment of purple blooms looks great against the bright white planter. I found these at both Michael’s and JoAnn Fabric and Crafts, using coupons for all of them.

Before I added the flowers, I used my Cricut Air Explore 2 to create “Welcome Spring.” I used Skinny Bold font and sized it to fit on the planter.

I cut blocks of floral foam to size to fit inside the tub. Using a small sharp knife is the best way to cut the foam. Before adding the foam, I scrunched up some white tissue paper to add some height to the foam.

More tissue paper was added on top of the foam to cover it. Then, I added some faux grass stems to each end of the planter.

The best way to add the flowers is by layering them in. To do this, I first used floral wire cutters to separate the stems.

There really isn’t a right or wrong way to add the flowers. I alternated left and right with the same type of flowers.

I tucked the stems through the tissue paper and into the foam as needed to hold them in place.

Taking the time after all of the stems have been added to adjust them for symmetry and height can make a big difference in the appearance.

I’m looking forward to seeing how Gloria will use this in her decor. It would make a lovely centerpiece or she might decide to place it on a table on her porch. As long as the outdoor area is covered, it should hold up well.

      Thanks! The tissue paper seems to blend in with the white planter better than trying to make sure I covered all of the green foam. It was an easy fix.

    GORGEOUS, Literally spring in a box! I love these flowers, they look so pretty. Real spring flowers are lovely but always so short lived, these ARTIFICIAL ones are such a lovely idea and will last and last.
