Driftwood

Driftwood adds gorgeous rustic, coastal texture to any arrangement and can take on a masculine, feminine or gender-neutral look depending on its complementary accessories. Get the look: Place one cylinder vase inside a slightly larger vase with the same shape. Fill the smaller vase with water and flowers, then fill the space between the two with small pieces of driftwood.

Fruit Wheels

Combine floral and fruit for a fun, unexpected arrangement. Get the look: To line the outside vase with fruit wheels, you'll need two vases that are slightly different in width. Then, place one inside of the other. After adding water to both vases, cut the fruit into slices and place them in the gap between the two. Add floral to the smaller vase.

Floating Fronds

Looking for a minimalist approach to a centerpiece? Get the look: Fill three-quarters of a cylinder vase with water, then place a large frond inside. Bend it appropriately until it sits firmly inside. The green tones of the frond will help add color to your space, and the graphic lines will be visible from near and far away.
