So for our simple summer centerpiece, we loved the idea of a brunch.
It’s our favorite meal of all time. We’re basically Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson and give me all the waffles. And bacon. And grits. We’re happy if we can eat breakfast and second breakfast and thirdsies and all the things. Wheeee!
This easy centerpiece brings our bright colorful hues of the summer months, paired with easy.
I’m not sure you can win more with that combo.

To make this simple summer centerpiece, we basically combined these things:
• A glass vase :
Any type of a similar shape will do. We’re talking wide mouthed with an old look, maybe even a slight tint for extra charm. Here’s a simple modern take on it here + a chicken wire version here in a smaller size.
• Oranges
• Flowers:
Grocery store flowers + yard flowers. Yep, it’s nothing of the fancy variety, and we do love the way they all come together. It’s all about light and bright with versatile colors.
We paired this look with simple gold silverware and classic pinstripes in the placemats. Nothing says classic like pinstripes. And white linen napkins. Because linen and white. And also you can simply bleach if you get stains on these. So low maintenance is also key.
We love layering them with pretty little simple plates – we always check the big box store sections for melamine that we can layer easily with simple whites and glass. Scalloped edges are always a win for nice layering techniques.
And there’s something about bright colorful glasses {complete with a juice cup!} that screams your grandmother’s house. In a good way, with sweet memories.
Pastel hues to carry out all those fun colors really complete the look.
