How to Style a Farmhouse Centerpiece Featuring Rose of Sharon
There’s nothing complicated about this farmhouse centerpiece, and that’s exactly why I love it.
I started with a low vintage basket I had on hand, round and full of character with a weathered finish that adds rustic charm to any table. To hold the blooms, I nestled a small bowl of water inside the basket (a simple plastic one works just fine), then filled it with freshly cut white Rose of Sharon flowers from our backyard.
The result? A soft, organic arrangement that feels both effortless and elevated. This easy floral idea is perfect for an impromptu lunch with friends, a weekend table refresh, or even just a quiet moment of vintage charm for yourself. It may not last long, but it makes a sweet impression while it’s here.
