The combination of white hydrangeas and creamy white roses accented with faux succulents and hops almost looks like a bridal bouquet, doesn’t it?
How to Create A Rustic Spring Centerpiece
Let’s Get Started!
I knew I wanted to make a Spring centerpiece using a round wooden bowl. I found this carved cherry wooden bowl when I was sorting through my Mom’s things. This bowl had been hand carved by a gentleman in Indiana.
While this particular bowl is beautiful on its own, I have enjoyed styling it for the various seasons.
Since the bowl is hand carved, the sides have an interesting texture. The bowl is not perfectly round, either. These features add character to the bowl and to the arrangement.
After choosing the bowl, my next decision was to choose the color palette. These cream & green silk flowers are so realistic and will add a touch of Spring! This color palette of cream & green works great for Spring. If you like to decorate with a more neutral color scheme, you could use this arrangement in your home until Fall.
I also decided to use an artificial hydrangea head as an armature. I simply removed the head from the stem (saving the stem of course in case I want to reuse it!) and placed the head in the center of the bowl. Now we are ready to add our stems.
In case you aren’t familiar with using an armature, let me give a brief explanation. The armature is a way to add support to your arrangement without using floral foam. An armature can be made out of a variety of different things. One of my favorite ways is to use wire to make the armature like I did in this post:
Back to Choosing the Rest of the Flowers:
The hydrangeas were more yellow than I wanted for this arrangement. I didn’t have any Design Master floral spray paint in white but I did have a can of Rust-Oleum Linen White Chalked Paint.
I sprayed the hydrangea heads with the spray paint and let them dry. A word of caution: when working with spray paint, it is better to wear a glove or you may end up with paint all over your hand. I forgot to wear a glove and had a Linen White hand for several days until it wore off! Also, be sure to spray the paint in a well ventilated area or outside.
Once the hydrangea heads were dry,it was time to get started designing the rustic Spring centerpiece!
When designing, the use of odd numbers of items tends to give a more interesting end product. I did “violate” the design rule of working with odd numbers when I made this centerpiece. I placed the hydrangea heads in the bowl at an angle. I made sure that the stems were inserted between the blossoms of the green hydrangea so that they were supported.
The next step is to add the faux succulents to the arrangement. They are inserted between the stems of the green hydrangea head also.
I inserted the two white roses close to each other near the center of the arrangement to serve as a focal point. Again, the stems are inserted between the hydrangea blossoms to add security to the arrangement.
The hops are added last. They add texture and a bit of movement to the arrangement.

The Finished Arrangement
I used a piece of old porch post as a pedestal for the arrangement. I love how the patina of the porch post works with the overall look and feel of the arrangement . It is fun to incorporate pieces of architectural salvage into one’s decor.
