Easy Lemon Spring Centerpiece

This is an easy Spring Centerpiece anyone can put together. I always feel like I need something tall on my kitchen island - to fill the space. What I really love is fresh flowers, but that can get a little expensive. So, I Put this together in just a few minutes and really love how it turned out.


I have to admit that I owned most of items to make this, but it would be easy to find something to substitute. The one thing you can run out and buy now is the lemon floral stems. I just bought these at Pier 1. They are $12.00 a stem and I used two stems.

The green willowy grass is a few years old from the Pottery Barn as well as this moss and twig cylinder. I am sure at most craft stores you can find something to replace these items.

The lemon branches are heavy. I place floral foam in the bottom of a tall glass vase and stuck the stems down in the center. This held them in place so they couldn't fall over.

  3. This is a great Spring centerpiece. I am with you, I really love fresh flowers, but they are spendy. The bright yellow lemons are a great substitute. Thanks for linking up to Be Inspired today.
