30 Stunning Spring Flower Arrangements to Brighten Your Home

Think beautiful flower arrangements are out of reach? Think again!

Even if your usual method is just dropping store-bought bouquets in a vase, these easy DIY spring designs are completely achievable.

This guide offers simple steps to create stunning bouquets—from casual wildflower looks to elegant compositions—that are surprisingly quick to assemble.

Discover how to make your spring arrangements even more striking by incorporating unexpected elements like asparagus or carrots alongside classics like tulips.

The best part? Anyone can achieve these gorgeous results. Browse below and try creating one of these simple spring arrangements yourself!

Celebrate Early Bloomers

Lenten roses are among the first to bloom in late winter making them perfect to perk up a table before spring varieties are in full force.

Here, Mark Thompson, co-owner of the Birmingham garden store Shoppe, positioned cut Lenten roses in a shallow, basket like vessel using a bundle of chicken wire to hold the stems and then filled it with an assortment of the cut flowers.

Hang A Door Basket

Start with a door basket, then nestle in your favorite florals.

A small pot of angelonia (the spiky white bloom), ‘Snow Princess’ sweet alyssum (the white lacy flowers), ‘Variegata’ greater periwinkle (the greenery that’s trailing in front), dusty miller (the velvety blue-green leaves), and asparagus fern (the feathery foliage peeking out of the back) make a nice mix.

These should last two to three weeks with regular waterings.

Just before your company arrives, insert clippings of fresh tulips and orchids.

Follow Nature’s Lead

Rather than making one large centerpiece, New Orleans textile designer Beetle Hillery Antonatos opted to display small clusters of irises in an assortment of mismatched glass vessels at a Mardi Gras brunch.

These little arrangements are not just easier to pull together; they’re also a nod to the blooms’ natural surrounds.

“I wanted them to look like they do in the bayou. Louisiana irises are swamp flowers,” she explains.

Create A Collection Of Vases

For an eye-catching design that doesn’t require any technical know-how, set small vases in coordinating colors down the length of the table.

Trim daffodil stems at varying heights, and then place a few blooms in each vessel.

These bitty bouquets can also double as favors for guests.

Make Your Tulips Pop

You can use a bouquet of grocery store tulips (we used three varieties: French, variegated, and standard single) as an unexpected display by popping their petals to create a showstopping focal point.

Start with a third of the blooms, selecting ones that have just begun to open. Use your thumb to gently push the base of each petal until it snaps outward.

This technique will reduce the life of the arrangement slightly, but it should still last four to five days.

Float Your Flowers

This flower arrangement might be one of the easiest. Start with a clear glass centerpiece-worthy bowl filled with water.

You can mix in some flower food, but be sure it fully dissolves so you don’t have grains swimming around in the bottom of the bowl. Clip a few miniature rose buds or other petite flowering varieties.

Gently spread the petals out to make a flatter base that will help them float on the water’s surface. Place your buds in the bowl, keeping them to one side.

There’s no perfect equation here—use as many or as few as you like. We thought four flowers worked well with the size of our bowl.

Next, take your tulips and gently curve them around the opposite side of the bowl. Stagger them so the blooms are at varying heights and tuck in a branch or two for a rustic finishing touch.

This arrangement should last a few days if you swap out the water daily.

Style A Shelf

These tiny bunches of blooms are a foolproof way to add bursts of color in small spaces.

Place clusters of spring flowers (we used daffodils) into bud vases in an array of shapes and sizes.

Position them atop short stacks of books, or nestle them in among other treasures on shelving.

Group Buds In Silver

Peony, Foxglove, and Snapdragons arranged in silver containers

Create a display featuring silver-plated vessels in a variety of heights and shapes.

Stick to the formula height, plus cluster, and add hero. Foxgloves and snapdragons give the display a peak, working well together due to their similar sizes and structures.

Group three peonies in a julep vase to balance out the real star, a wide-open peony bloom sitting directly on the mouth of its vessel.

Create The Look Of A Basket

Cover a container in preserved moss and dried flowers (you can look for one at a garden center or crafts store) to start this earthy arrangement.

Set a plastic liner in the basket to fill with potting soil. Add a pink kalanchoe, succulents, and a creeping Jenny as a spiller that trails off the edge.

Use nerve plants as fillers and mini caladiums or gomphrenas as focal points. Bend a silverberry branch to form the handle.

Fan Your Foliage

Mix in palms as greenery to elevate the simplest of bouquets.

Start by positioning three palm fans in florist foam, switching the direction so one is facing forward, another is standing tall but a little bit off-center, and a third is slightly angled.

Next layer in midsize flowers: chocolate Queen Anne’s lace and pink and white peonies.

The most delicate elements such as tulips, hellebores, and ranunculus step in as the final flourishes, filling open spots and creating movement.

For even more interest, you can then reflex the petals on a few of the tulips by placing your thumb at the base of each petal and gently pushing until it pops backward.

Little Vases With Big Variety

If you’re wary of large centerpieces, use smaller vases to make flower arrangements that will wow.

Get several vases that are similar in size and height, choose a simple color palette for your flowers and table setting and allow your imagination to take over.

Coordinate with table decor like these sweet eggs painted with lily of the valley from Dondolo and add extra charm to your flower arrangement.

Pack A Bowl With Shades Of Green

In this laid-back composition, Mark Thompson opted to forgo using florist foam or wire, packing the vessel with an assortment of Lenten rose clippings.

“The greenery is beautiful, so you don’t need to add any extra filler,” explains the florist.

He also advises using flowers that have been blooming for a while. “This will help them last for weeks in cut arrangements if you change out the water as needed.”

Make An Impact With White

Place a block of well-soaked florist foam inside the vase.

Begin with your statement flowers—three white peonies with stems cut to slightly different lengths—and insert them around the foam in a triangular shape, putting the largest blossom at the front.

From there, place five or six ranunculus blooms with remaining stems in the foam and around the peonies to create a random pattern.

Use short clippings of white hydrangea to cover the foam. Add in a few sprigs of spray roses for texture near the base.

Last, work in tall flowerless stems of camellia greenery for height and shine mixed with some soft-looking variegated pittosporum (both commonly found in yards).

Use Colored Glass

This idea is for those who have always wondered what to do with those little glass jars they’ve gathered over the years.

The key to this arrangement is grouping the tiny vessels onto a tray.

Displaying your florals this way will give order to your collection and ensure it doesn’t look haphazard.

Bright yellow daffodils create a charming contrast to the blue glass.

Plant Homegrown Greens

Ditch the faux grass filler, and plant the real thing in an Easter basket this year.

Add a plastic liner to the container, and fill with potting soil. Ten days to two weeks before Easter, sprinkle wheatgrass seeds (available at garden centers) on top.

Set in a sunny spot and water well. Nestle naturally dyed eggs in the grass. A festive bow finishes the look.

Lilac Centerpiece

Some of spring’s greatest hits come together in this arrangement, united by a purple color palette.

Tall, stately alliums provide the focal point, lilacs add a heavenly scent, and tulips bring a graceful element to the centerpiece.

Add a few snips of foliage and yellow-green hellebores to break up the purple flowers.

Pastel Spring Centerpiece

Take inspiration from the pastel home decor trend for your spring centerpiece.

Here, vintage blush, mint, and blue pastel plates are contrasted by the bright pink and green elements of the floral arrangement.

Fresh Spring Foliage

Bring your garden to the table with a lush spring centerpiece.

To get the look, place cut white bearded irises amid foliage plants like ferns, ivy, sorrel, and Columbine.

You can keep all of these in their nursery pots, because the decorative basket hides the containers.

The cut flowers will last for about a week, then you can either replace them or distribute the plants around your house or garden.

Sunny Spring Centerpiece

Re-create the wild beauty of a spring flower field with daffodils in various shapes and colors, including sunshine yellow and pale peach.

To extend the theme to the rest of the table, use any small vessel fitted with a tiny floral frog at the base.

Stagger stem heights to highlight the flower head silhouettes.

Beautiful Branches

A large spring floral arrangement ties together all the colors of this table setting.

The floral theme continues with additional sprigs of flowers in small wooden vases and pussy willow branches on each place setting.

Easter Floral Centerpiece

Turn a handful of dyed Easter eggs and a bright bouquet into a playful spring centerpiece.

To make it, fill a shallow vase with water and your favorite in-season flowers.

Dye or paint colorful Easter eggs to match the hues in the bouquet and scatter them around the table.

Flowering Branches

Early-flowering branches like redbud are alluring after a long winter, but their heaviness can make them daunting to arrange.

Enter the floral frog, which secures branches even in a low vessel so you can show off their shape.

Soften the base of the arrangement with other early-spring flowers like tulip magnolias and hellebores.

Mixed Tulip Arrangement

It can be hard to choose among the huge variety of tulips available in the spring—so don’t!

Instead, create an arrangement that shows off standard, double, and parrot types in several colors.

With stems held in place by a floral frog (which is hidden by polished stones), this spring arrangement allows a mass of flowers to emerge from the shallowest of dishes.

Neutral Spring Centerpiece

Few things are more inviting than a fresh all-white color scheme for spring.

Here, an assortment of white flowers fill a creamy porcelain vase for a gorgeous centerpiece that pops against the natural tones of wooden dishes.

Classic Daffodils

Gathered from the garden, an alluring clutch of golden, cream, and apricot-hued daffodils make a bright spring centerpiece.

Select several daffodil varieties and colors for more interest.

If you cut the daffodils before their buds have opened, they’ll last longer in the bouquet.

Florals for Spring

Decorate your spring tablescape with a large floral centerpiece and matching floral plates.

Choose hues that match the shades in your tablecloth, placemats, or colored glassware for a cohesive look.

Purple Floral Arrangement

Although the flowers in this stunning spring centerpiece come from a florist, you could substitute garden flowers or blossoms from flowering shrubs.

For maximum impact and the most natural look, gather the blooms into clusters of like flowers, rather than placing them individually into a more carefully arranged bouquet.

Easy Spring Tulips

Tulips shine with their own personality, and because they continue to grow after cutting, they’ll even rearrange themselves in a vase.

Leave stems long for a playful arrangement, or cut the stems short to gather the flowers tightly together.

Tulips are thirsty, so refill the dish with water daily to prolong the life of the blooms.

Rustic Spring Centerpiece

A green-and-white scheme is easy on the eye and perfect for spring entertaining.

This bouquet includes viburnum, French tulips, lisianthus, roses, and hosta leaves.

Pink Roses Centerpiece

An abundance of fragrant pink garden roses fills a white ceramic vase for a pretty spring centerpiece.

Rather than placing one oversized arrangement in the center of the table, sprinkle small vases with one or two flowers around the table to tie the look together.
