Happy Tuesday!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was very busy, and ended with my husband's cousin's wedding on Sunday. We had a great time, especially E who didn't get off of the dance floor the whole night!
One thing that we love to do is entertain at home. Don't get me wrong, I love going out to eat, but there is something more relaxing about cooking up a nice meal and being at home. I'm a firm believer in having candles lit and fresh flowers in the home, especially when people are coming over. Lately I've been wanting to step it up a notch and also make the table we're going to eat at a little more "fancy". I'm all about simplicity, so in my opinion a simply set and adorned table is best.
I've rounded out some of my favorite centerpieces. Most of the things to create these centerpieces are things you probably have laying around your home.
Another one of my favorite centerpieces - that is easy to make is a simple flower arrangement with fruit pieces. for this particular one, I used lemons and I thought it made the table look bright and happy!
Spray painting bottles is so much fun if you have a little extra time to do so. They look elegant are are a fun spin on a traditional wine bottle. They'd even be pretty spray painted with chalk paint! We spray painted bottles for our 10 year anniversary party and I loved the way they came out! It's such an inexpensive way to dress up a table!
Speaking of wine bottles, I also love the look of candlesticks stuck in them with wax dripping down. Simple, elegant and the candle light adds to the ambiance!

This picture was what I used as my inspiration picture for the table when we had family over this past weekend. I thought it added a cute touch to the table and when the candles were lit it looked SO pretty. I also made a wine bar for the dinner which worked out great. Wine glasses, corkscrew, cocktail napkins and of course a candle lit made the table look pretty and kept people out of the busy kitchen to refill their glasses.

Do you love to dress up your table when people come over too? What are some things you've used?
Have a great day! xx

Such fun centerpieces, all unique and special.
I loved your pretty centerpiece this weekend! I agree - simple is best, especially when there is lots of good food to be placed on the table!
Nothing better than entertaining in your own home! I love that one with the sunflowers and lemons!
So glad you guys had a fun weekend! I'm not big on entertaining, but all of these ideas are so cute it makes me want to put something together :)
You are the center piece queen! You make such pretty ones and they are all ideas I need to borrow ;)
Oooh I love the blue mason jars!! And the fruit in the vase is sooo pretty, too!
I prefer a nice dinner at home too sometimes as it's more cozy. Loving these centerpieces especially the sunflowers - so pretty <3

Ok so I've been needing centerpiece ideas for our new house - kind of all the time but these really help! I know what I want to do! Thanks!
I try and use whatever is hanging around too. This time of year is easier than others with ornaments, candles, greenery, etc. You did a fabulous job. Looks wonderful. Merry Christmas!
Really cute ideas! I love simplistic centerpieces as well with some fresh flowers which always feel welcoming.
I absolutely love entertaining at home, setting the table all fancy is probably one of my favorites parts!
I absolutely love baby's breath as a centerpiece! It's so pretty and delicate looking! And those gold bottles are so fun! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Love this! Excellent ideas! Merry almost Christmas to ya'll! xo
