I am SO in love with this beautiful summer citrus floral arrangement that I made. I think this would be the perfect centerpiece for a summer brunch or pool party, and I got the flowers and fruit from my local grocery store! I am creating a step-by-step tutorial, explaining how I created this.

Citrus Slices & Greenery

Citrus and green stems are the perfect combo for spring and summer arrangements. This centerpiece uses a popular method to showcase how well the two pair. However, unlike others, this arrangement utilizes all types of summer citrus. To start, slice up lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits and lay them neatly on a plate. Then use them to neatly line the inside of a double clear square vase, filling the outer layer with water to keep the slices fresh. Once the vase is completely lined, begin to fill it with your favorite flowers. Variations with lots of greenery work best for this centerpiece, as it amplifies the fresh, summery look.

Rustic Freesias

If you prefer a rustic centerpiece, this will be a game-changer for your table decor. It features fresh freesias that snake out of the vase, creating a beautiful, artistic look. While the lilac-colored blossoms are pretty, the real gem is the vase. To nail the rustic style, look for a vase with authentic weathering and begin to build around it. The dark, washed appearance will add to the charm of the centerpiece and complement textiles with a similar feel.

Coastal Hydrangeas

It’s hard to deny the appeal of blooming hydrangeas, especially when bundled together in a luscious bouquet. While there is a rainbow of shades to choose from, sticking to crisp blue and white has a classic summery feel. Building the arrangement in a glass vase decorated with woven rattan only adds to the coastal look. Take a cue from this florist and add a few longer-stemmed flowers to the bouquet for added dimension and height.

Yellow Tulips

This centerpiece feels more like a work of art than a bundle of 100 tulips. The flowers are beautiful on their own, but the key to this centerpiece is the precision and attention to detail. With 100 stems, everything needs to be trimmed and arranged together to create a cohesive, organized look. While every floral arrangement takes time, this one also benefits from patience. After stacking them one by one by hand in an arc shape, the florist fans them out into an elegant circle before neatly cutting the stems. The result is a sunny display and a one-of-a-kind centerpiece.

Simple & Elegant

Small and simple can be just as beautiful as a large bouquet, and this arrangement proves it. Instead of oversized blossoms, it uses single stems with delicate flowers to create a bold, yet understated, statement. Beyond its elegant look, it’s an easy centerpiece to recreate. With just a few flowers and a comb-like stand, you can create a striking arrangement in no time at all.
