One of the most available, inexpensive and underrated centerpieces is the rose or ivy bowl. It's a small "fish bowl" with a scalloped lip. It's the perfect size for a round or oblong table, used in groups or by itself.
Centerpiece with Gerberas & Orchids
You can come up with some really creative ideas for using rose bowls at your next party–whatever the occasion.
Here are some ideas:
1. Fill the bowl with blue colored water, about halfway up. Set a yellow rubber duck in the water and nest the bowl in a blue or yellow hand towel for a cute baby shower centerpiece.
2. Fill the bowl with water and add half or whole slices of lemons, limes and oranges and one brightly colored Gerbera daisy for a festive, summer party, wedding shower or birthday party.
3. Add iridescent marbles and a pink rubber duck and swirl pink satin ribbon around the base for a baby shower or little girls' birthday party.
4. Use sand or dirt and toy trucks for a boys' birthday party.
5. Add a simple votive candle, then tie a small part of a decorative hula skirt around the base for a luau party.
6. Fill with cotton balls, a bottle or two of nail polish, emery board, clippers, etc. for older girls' slumber or spa party.
7. For a practical centerpiece, gather eating utensils, roll up with a napkin and tie with ribbon for a picnic or backyard barbeque.
8. The classic use: fill halfway with water and add a single-bloomed rose for a tea or garden party.
9. Add aromatic coffee beans and a white votive candle for a casual dinner party.
10. Fill with several princess wands and swirl a feather boa at the base for a princess birthday party.
