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.
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.
