Simple Centerpieces

Of course, when you use less materials that means you must use more of your imagination. I think it's the simplicity of these centerpieces that makes them spectacular.

 Use the individual petals of one gerbera daisy to create graphic versions of the real thing. Place a tea light in the center to complete the look. Make multiple designs and arrange on a simple platter to create an easy summer centerpiece.

Keep your centerpieces simple and fun - with daisies and pops of color.

It's easy to make this arrangement work for the style of your affair.

You can also take one gerbera and cut the stem off at the base of the flower and put it in a wine glass along with a tea light for a fun individual place setting or to accent a buffet spread.

Another idea is to use multiples in varying sizes and shapes for a unique tablescape that's simple and stunning!

Did you ever hear the expression "Keep It Simple Stupid"? Well I prefer to say "Keep It Simple Silly", but that's beside the point.

I created these centerpieces using one (yes, that's right, only one) gerbera daisy and a couple of tea lights! Did you ever think that you could actually make a centerpiece using just one flower?
