Home Decor, Summer Centerpieces

 

With Memorial Day coming up and June just around the corner,

Let’s kick off the summer season with a roundup of centerpiece ideas

 

 

 

 

One of the best parts of summer is the produce

Beautiful tomatoes, watermelons, fresh sweet corn…

Piled on a pretty platter, they make an instant centerpiece!

 

 

 

 

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Tray

Summer means lots of patriotic holidays in the USA

Create a festive centerpiece with a vase of white daisies,

red carnations and flags

 

Flip Flops, Firecrackers & Flags

 

 

Or, Fill a clear vase or glass with a red, white and blue bandana

Add red white and blue sprays of stars and flags

 

 

 

 

 

Even if you aren’t an artist you can paint a flag plate

with red stripes, a patch of blue, and white dots for stars

{use paint made for glass for best results}

Bring the outside in with a grouping of bottles and vases filled with flowers

  1. Jenna, what a beautiful roundup of centerpieces for summer. I love all of your fresh fruit and vegetable centerpieces, especially the watermelon and pineapple ones. I can hardly believe summer is almost here. Have a love Wednesday!

    Oh Jenna!!!! I love all your centerpieces. You are so talented and I always enjoy seeing and getting ideas from your painted glasses and plates and trays! It is hard to believe that we are already at the start of summer (that begins in the South with Memorial Day to me). Seems like we missed so much of the Spring because of COVID. Although my work was considered essential and I haven’t missed a day, all I did was get up, come to work, go back home; planned grocery trips when stores were not so crowded, etc; and with all the rain and fluctuating temps, nothing feels like it has developed as normal. But thankful that we and all loved ones are well thus far and continued prayers for this situation.

    Miss Ellie sends her love to her MC sisters. She is a trooper, carrying all my court stuff everyday!! She is excited that she will be hearing from her sisters in the coming days!

    Love from Northeast MS.

    • You are too sweet Rhonda, and it’s so great to hear from you!! I have been curious as to how the courts and legal system was working…I have truly been a beach bum, no shoes or make up, I feel like a hippie! Yes, summer arrives Memorial Day in the South, and on the coast people are so happy to have the beaches reopen. I am so glad you are using and enjoying Miss Ellie, such a great tote! Yes, the June 1 tales ought to be interesting…Thanks for following along, and happy summer!

  4. Only you would put a pineapple in the middle of a cake — I love it! What beautiful (and pretty easy) centerpieces! Thanks. Happy weekend!

    So many unique ideas for a centerpiece. Love them all but I really do like the sailboat! All those gorgeous fresh vegetables. I always look forward to piling them high on a platter for the island during summer. The supermarkets have been having sales on sweet corn. Love the cake with the pineapple top. Perfect for summer………..

    Jenna. all of your centerpieces are wonderful for summer entertaining. I especially love the idea of using fresh fruits and veggies. My favorite centerpiece that you showcased is the pretty sunflowers with the fresh produce. The colors are so rich and beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!

  8. How fun Jenna. Lots of ideas for people to create a nice centerpiece, many with things we have on hand. I still love the sailboat. Veggies and fruits are always a favorite. I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
