Centerpiece Wednesday!! Add a Pop of Color!

Last week I told you I would show you how I would use the same centerpiece but change it up a bit…I just added a pop of color.
ORANGE!! I simply changed the placemats and added a different salad plate on top of the white dishes
Orange and white polka dot salad plates…TJmaxx

I used the same hydrangeas from my garden placed in a large clear glass goblet.

I love how the orange changes things up and makes it bright and colorful.


Remember I didn’t have any tall skinny candlesticks so I used some chunky ones with fresh leaves placed underneath them to bring the color up. Use what you have…it will work.

The oranges are different from one another but I still think it works!

Doesn’t this just say summertime!

Use your centerpiece over and over just change out a few pieces to make it look new and different! You could even use different colored flowers in the goblets. Or fill them with sugar, sand, small rocks or glass beads and place a voitive in the middle.

Ok…now let’s see what you have all come up with for your centerpieces!!
Link up and link back and let’s have a Centerpiece Wednesday Party!

    I love your hydrangeas. They remind me of my green envy zinnias. The green looks really good with navy prints you have too. Nice tablescape!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
