Dining Room Table Centerpieces for Everyday (Not Just Parties)

Ever wonder what to put on your dining room table that will last longer than a bouquet of flowers? I say go for plants like succulents, orchids or ferns. Or fruit and vegetables (like pumpkins this time of year).

A rectangular piece is good on a rectangular table…but I would want to make sure something like this from Roger’s Gardens was water and scratch proof (like with an appetizer tray underneath).

I like this Fall arrangement by The Daily Nest on Instagram.

I planted Trader Joe’s orchids and ferns in a soup tureen.

Here is the same tureen with a succulent…super easy.

I bet you could duplicate this one from Roger’s Garden’s.

You could use a white washed planter box like this lined with florist foil.

Speaking of Roger’s Gardens…Cindy and I sped through there when we were in Southern California last week. You can read about our other adventures on her blog.

A pedestal bowl is a great idea for fruit. Mine came from Home Goods. Here is a gorgeous one from Hudson Grace.
