Quick & Easy Centerpieces


Short on time, but want to wow your guests? Real Simple recently published an article showcasing twenty 5-minute centerpiece ideas for every occasion. It inspired us at Party Mosaic to explore a few of our favorites to pair up with complimentary linens. 

Fruit Fillers

Pick up some miniature citrus fruits like kumquats and key limes on your next grocery visit. Place them in a clear vase to add a burst of color to your centerpiece. Also, you can use larger fruits like oranges and lemons and slice them up for a juicer effect! 



This type of centerpiece would look great with our Lemon Sheer Linen for a casual, outdoor event in the sunshine.



Striking Branches

Whether real or fake, it's a great idea to spray paint branches with a bright color to showcase them as a centerpiece. They can be displayed alone or in glass bottles or vases, or even spray painted mason jars. Try out this look with our Rosebud Line for a striking effect at your next party.






Flower Box Table Runner

Pick up a long flower box and fill it with your favorite blooms. Gerber daisies and sunflowers both work well and you can convert the centerpiece to an outdoor flower box after the party. If you run out of flowers and have to improvise, add some candles with glass stones instead!



Try this centerpiece out with our Turquoise Mystique Linen.

Pittsburgh’s finest event professional joined forces to create their interpretations of the elements: Earth, Fire, Ice and Water in 20 x 20’ vignettes. Designers include Tim Komen of TK Events (Fire), Sheila Weiner of The Event Group (Ice), Bob Sendall of All In Good Taste Productions (Earth) and Shelly Tolo of Tolo Events (Water). In addition, Joe Mineo of Something New Events created the incredible décor in the common area and VIP lounges, including furniture from AFR Events, and wall treatments from Atomic.  With over $200,000 worth of product donated, raw space was transformed with a mind-blowing array of décor components, enabling our guests to explore and enjoy the evening in this magical space. With bands, DJ’s and food/beverage donated from Pittsburgh’s finest caterers, restaurants and hotels, our supporters could dine and dance all night long.
