Fall Centerpiece

Faux Floral Fall Centerpiece- With a Touch of Lilac

Leaves are starting to fall off trees, and the weather is doing some crazy up and down stuff. It’s definitely fall!

Hi guys, today I’m sharing a faux floral fall centerpiece that I recently put together. I’ve been little by little bringing out all of my fall decorations but my home is never really complete without a floral arrangement, or two or three 🙂 scattered around here and there.

Today’s centerpiece came together with a mix of different flowers, mostly sunflowers and hydrangeas (I love sunflowers for so many different seasons!) After that I decided to add in some purple, so I decided to use a few lilac tulips that I thought worked pretty well.

Now, I’m pretty sure you may be thinking that tulips are a little strange for fall and I would have to agree with you on that. But, I try to always remind myself that faux flowers are so great because well, they last forever! So thankfully we can use them whenever and not worry about breaking a few seasonal or decorating rules. Hehe… it’s kind of fun breaking rules sometimes 🙂

But honestly aside from all of that I really like making use of what I have on hand, and these were simply the best option from what I had to use for this centerpiece, so I figured why not.

I went ahead and paired those flowers with a round vase, some burlap, and I have a very pretty arrangement that works perfectly for this time of year!

Faux Floral Fall Centerpiece- With a Touch of Lilac

For this centerpiece, I’m using a mix of different faux flowers.

I started by picking out faux sunflowers, hydrangeas, tulips, a few yellow flowers and a few leaves, as you can see below.

FYI: I always just kind of create as I go and usually end up taking things apart a few times before finishing so I didn’t actually end up using all of the flowers below. These are just what I started with 🙂

For my arrangement, I’ll be using a round vase, burlap, and tape.

I also needed something to help keep my flowers in place so I used a mesh onion bag that I had saved for crafting projects and cut off a piece from that to use for my flowers.

(Please tell me you save silly random items also because you know you can eventually make use of it in some way!)

I started by taking a strip of my burlap and filling my vase with. I did this because I thought it would look pretty but I also wanted something to cover the stems of my flowers that were looking kind of old and mix matched.

Next I took that piece of mesh and taped it on to the top of the vase in four sections.

Now for the part that should be fun but can sometimes be super frustrating for me…since I’m no expert at flower arranging 🙂

Let’s start placing the flowers…

I started by bending the stem of one of my tulips so it faces down and placing it off to the side under the yellow flowers you see below.

Then I took a few of each of my flowers and placed them in the vase, making three even sections.

The hydrangeas went down the middle.

To the right of those are the off white sunflowers.

To the left of my hydrangeas are a few light yellow flowers.

After that I started adding in the rest of my flowers in no particular order. I just tried to evenly scatter them throughout my arrangement.

I did however purposely place one of the tulips off to the opposite side on the top part of my arrangement, to give it a bit of a balanced look.

This is how it now looks after adding in all the flowers…

A look of the top…

I will say that the most important part of this arrangement was using the mesh piece to keep the flowers in place. I always have a habit of putting flowers into a vase and not taking the time to use something to keep them from moving around, which works out fine for my home but this just makes thing so much easier! The flowers stay in place and I didn’t need as many flowers to make a nice full arrangement.

And that’s it! A beautiful fall centerpiece, with a touch of pretty lilac purple.

Ok, that’s it for this one. I hope you enjoyed this and put together a beautiful fall centerpiece for your home as well!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
