Easy Spring Hydrangea Bowl Centerpiece

Using a large, shallow decorative bowl or planter you can easily recreate this gorgeous floral centerpiece.

Hydrangeas are great for spring and summer and Dollar Tree has a nice selection of colors available this time of year.

Tulips, lavender, or roses are alternative options that would give you a nice structured look as well.

By using faux florals you can place this arrangement in a variety of spots without concern for natural light or the need to keep it watered.

An entryway console table, a bathroom counter, or a coffee table are all good options.

Supplies You’ll Need

I made this spring hydrangea bowl centerpiece using all faux hydrangea stems in a fushia color from Dollar Tree. But you can, of course, use any floral you’d like or mix different types of florals for a new look.

I used 9 stems to fill my 12-inch bowl (which is the Better Homes and Gardens 12″ Fischer Ceramic Planter).

Here’s a full list of the items needed.

Scissors or Easy Cutter
Floral Foam (x2)
Shallow Bowl or Planter
Hydrangea Stems (x9)

Instructions

Step 1:

Start off by snipping all of your price stickers, then snipping each stem from the bunch.
I tend to cut my stems right where the bunch fuses together to maintain as much length as possible.

Step 2:

Next, slide the leaves of each stem all the way up so that they are nestled right under the flower head.

Step: 3

Now place your floral foam at the bottom of your bowl. If you have a larger bowl like me you may need two pieces to span the width of the bowl.

Note: Leave the cellophane wrapping on the foam. This will prevent the foam from crumbling everywhere and making a mess.

Step 4:

Begin inserting the flowers into the foam. Start with creating a first row of flowers all the way around the perimeter of the bowl, then spiral inward to fill in the center.

Step 5:

Finally, examine your arrangement to look for gaps and fill them in with additional flowers. Reposition flowers as necessary to create a full rounded shape.

Final Look

That’s it! This is a fast and easy DIY project. I used fushia hydrangeas for spring but you can easily recreate these bowl centerpieces for each season with new florals.

I created two of these for each end of my formal dining table. I love the way they look. Here’s another look at the final results.

Conclusion

And just like that—your beautiful hydrangea bowl centerpiece is complete! In less than 15 minutes and for under $15, you’ve created an arrangement that’s both timeless and eye-catching.

Whether used for everyday decor or a special occasion, this easy DIY proves that stunning floral arrangements don’t have to be expensive or complicated.

Give it a try and enjoy the fresh, stylish charm it brings to your home!
