¿Qué es un buen centro de mesa para una mesa?
Once you’ve picked the perfect tablecloth and place settings, it’s time to think about the table centerpiece. That space in the middle of your table can look like a glaring oversight if you don’t fill it with something, but deciding exactly what to do can be difficult if you don’t know where to start. This list of different great table centerpieces will help you pick something that fits your occasion, style, and personal taste without an unnecessary hassle.
Some Best Table Centerpieces for Every Table
Luckily, you can choose many options that will look amazing without going overboard or costing an arm and a leg to buy. If you want your table centerpiece to highlight your special day, check out these different classy table centerpieces for every occasion.
The Wine Glass Vase Table Centerpiece


A water or wine glass vase is an essential table centerpiece for many. This is an excellent choice if you’re hosting an event with guests who drink something other than red wine. The simplicity and shape of the container can accommodate beverages like juice or even coffee if you want to mix things up! In addition, don’t forget that there are many different types of glassware on offer too.
A coffee mug or old-fashioned glass will be just as appropriate as a water goblet. The height of your table will determine which one is more suitable – a taller table means you’ll need to keep the centerpieces short to avoid obstructing anyone’s view. In contrast, more momentary tables can have more elevated centerpieces.
The Mixed Bottle Vase for Table Centerpiece


With a bottle vase table centerpiece, you can add a touch of nature to your centerpiece by adding cut flowers to your bottles. All you need is a clean glass or plastic bottle, water, food, and flowers! Take a bunch of flowers and fill up about 2/3’s with the flower food to cover all the surface area. After putting in some more flowers, cut off the stems before submerging them in the water, ensuring not to overflow them with too much.
Add a few drops of dish soap (it will help the bubbles) and place it on your table. The best part? You don’t have to worry about watering these! They last for weeks and are great for parties.
A Bottle Topiary Table Centerpiece
Turn any clear wine bottle into a vase or table centerpiece with three simple steps. Clean the inside of the wine bottle carefully. Cut down the top third of the one-liter soda bottle, and drill holes in its base to provide drainage. Then cover the bottom third with soil to create a topiary effect. It takes just 30 minutes from start to finish and looks great as a centerpiece. Just be careful if you’re using live plants because they may be thirsty after being planted in the upside-down bottle and could cause overgrowth.
A Traditional Cake Stand Table Centerpiece
If you want something a little more traditional at your next event but still want something cool, use a cake stand! Just take an old frame, add some ribbon around the outside, paint it, and put it on glass shelves to hold your cakes or desserts. There are many options when looking for materials to use when creating a cake stand, making it easy to find one that matches your taste and décor.
The Upside Down Pineapple Table Centerpiece


Another trendy item that goes well with fruits is an upside-down pineapple. Although I know, you might think, how fancy would this be for my Thanksgiving dinner? Wrong! It’s super easy to make an upside-down pineapple. You peel and core a fresh pineapple, then set it right side up in a pan with a plate that’s larger than the circumference of the fruit resting on top. Fill the space between the plate and the fruit with sugar cubes soaked in rum, and light them up! Not only does this give your guests something unique to talk about, but once lit, it smells amazing without being overpowering.
The Olive Jar with Flowers
The olive jar with flowers is a great table centerpiece idea because you can use any flowers or greenery to customize it. This project is inexpensive and looks very put together.
- Take an old jar and fill it with fresh water. Get fresh flowers or plants from your yard and place them in the pot.
- Tie a bow around the neck of the jar to give it that extra special touch.
- Place the jar on your table, and make sure to replace the water every day!
- Alternatively, you could add some floating candles to create an even more dramatic effect! If you want something more significant, opt for the Grapevine Wreath.
To create this beautiful centerpiece, you will need grapevines (cut into two-inch pieces), string, wire, and scissors. It is essential to know that these are not enough materials, so if you do not have any at home or work, check out your local grocery store’s floral department. You will need about eight grapevines for this wreath, which should cost between $5-$10, depending on where you live.
Classic, Long-Stemmed Rose Vase


The best thing about centerpieces is that they can be very inexpensive to make, depending on what your theme is. If you’re going with a flowery theme, try an arrangement using long-stemmed roses and calla lilies. They will instantly make your table look elegant and gorgeous. Place this centerpiece in the middle of your table and use it as a guide for placing other decorations on either side or front.
Why not set out a vase of succulents for something more modern or trendy? You could also fill it with petite pearls or beads if you have people over for cocktails instead. If you’re hosting an outdoor party, how about setting some fresh fruit in glass jars? Add some candles to complete the picture!
Miniature Tree in Wooden Bowl
This table centerpiece is easy to set up and doesn’t take up a lot of space on your table. All you need is a small tabletop tree (boughs can be replaced with cut branches), a bowl, and mini ornaments. Place the tree in the center of your table and arrange decorations around it! Make sure to use different colors so they’re not competing against each other for attention. For example, use green ornaments with red ones to create an autumnal feel.
If you want something less traditional, try using glass bottles filled with water and some greenery from your garden. Fill them up halfway and ensure enough room at the top so they don’t overflow when they fill up with water!
Flower Stems in Mason Jars


If you’re looking for a centro de mesa that is simple yet practical, then flower stems in mason jars may be your best bet. If you want to incorporate flowers with this idea, find small bunches or blooms and fill each jar with water and a few fresh flower heads. Lay the stems in the jar to create a beautiful design. For an extra touch, include decorative stones or glass gems around the pot’s base before filling it with water.
You can also use colored tissue paper folded into various shapes (circles, triangles, squares) and mini pumpkins or gourds. They will add some natural color to the table centerpiece setting. What’s more, they are easy to make and relatively inexpensive too!

A Vase Filled with Leafy Greens
This centerpiece is as versatile as they come. In addition to its direct appeal, it makes for a low-cost centerpiece. You can fill the vase with anything on hand that may be blooming right now, such as tulips or daffodils. If you’re looking for some greenery without flowers, consider planting ivy or succulents in small planters. The green leaves are sure to add some liveliness!
Another way to spice up your table centerpieces is by adding personal touches such as favorite photographs or art. Try framing your favorite photos and arranging them around your candles. Finally, mix textures by using rustic pieces like lanterns alongside glassware. These centerpieces will set a warm mood for any dining experience!
Best Table Centerpieces for Dining Room
Here are some best table centerpieces for your dining room.
Candles in Mason Jars


Candles in mason jars are perfect for a warm and intimate vibe, perfect for any occasion. Add your candle, cover with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil and then top off with a lid-or jam jar lids work best. The lids should be secured with a wide elastic band or twine, and the jar should then be placed in the center of your table.
Removing the covers can also use these jars as votives throughout your house. For an even more dramatic effect, place candles inside instead of votives! To make them even more festive, you can wrap each jar with Christmas paper or ribbon before topping it off with a lid.
Calla Lilies in Vases


A bouquet of fresh calla lilies can add the touch of elegance that your table needs. Display them in a tall vase or a centerpiece with greenery and mixed flowers. In the past, they have been more popularly used as wedding flowers, but now they are suitable for any occasion. Calla lilies are known for their white petals and striking yellow-orange stamen and will compliment the colors at your event. They also last for quite some time because of their resilience, so you don’t need to worry about replacements too often.
They’re available year-round, but the peak season is November through March. Be sure to get enough for the entire table if you want uniformity. Make sure to purchase open ones rather than those that still have buds on them because they won’t last long.
Metal Flower Arrangement in a Ceramic Pot
This table centerpiece is as easy as it gets. A single bloom in a pot sprayed with gold paint is an elegant but simple way to dress up your table. The same flower can be used repeatedly, and the variety of flowers available will let you find something appropriate for any occasion. Remember, though, not to include anything too wet or droopy—this may be only temporary! Have flowers, leaves, and branches from plants around your home. You can also add small succulents in terracotta, pots-anything fresh and green.
Or, if you have time on hand, get creative with mosses or dried pinecones. For example, fill a rustic basket with pinecones and small sticks, then top it off with moss. Once everything dries out a bit, fluff up the moss so that it’s unevenly distributed across the surface of the basket to create texture.
Silk Cherry Blossoms and Fresh Flowers


This is an elegant option for those looking for something simple and romantic. Silk cherry blossoms and fresh flowers are perfect decorations for any dinner party or holiday gathering. If you have some around your house, they are easy enough to find at a local store. If not, get creative and make them yourself with items you already have lying around!
Use silk flowers as the base layer and add clusters of fresh flower petals in varying sizes to build up the shape. Lay the petals on top of one another until you reach your desired height and length. Don’t forget to include stems and leaves as well!
Pine Cones in Tin Cans


This is an excellent option for a more rustic and natural centerpiece. Rinse and dry your tin cans, then fill them with outdoor branches. Some people like to stick pine cones inside, while others choose small bulbs or flowers. You can make them as large or small as you want, depending on what kind of table you’re using and how much space you have available. Make sure each branch has a sturdy base so it won’t tip over when your guests get up!
If you have time to spare, consider painting the cans white before adding some festive Christmas ribbon. For an extra-special touch, string cranberries together and thread them through the tops of each tree branch to create a wreath effect.
After creating two rows of berries in opposite directions, cut out pieces of brown paper in the shape of a leaf to decorate between the two rows. Place tea lights at both ends of your centerpiece, and voila! A lovely dining room decoration will give off plenty of ambiance without feeling overly Christmasy.
Lavender Bunch on Wood Plank
A lavender bunch tied with a ribbon is an excellent way to add sophistication and color. Depending on your needs, you can also mix and match various types of greenery or other flowers in season. A yellow napkin will brighten up any space without overpowering the room’s ambiance. Or, you can opt for something different, like lavender roses alongside berry sprigs and baby’s breath. If it’s not too hot outside, use some green leaves instead of flower petals.
Bamboo leaves make a great substitute! They’re versatile and come in beautiful colors—from light greens to deep red. They’ll complement any table decor arrangement. The possibilities are endless!
Fresh Fruit on a Wooden Tray


Fresh fruit on a wooden tray is a classy option that can be used for any meal and is budget-friendly! It’s easy to create by arranging the fruit into a circle on the tray and adding watermelon, grapes, kiwi slices, and pineapples. To add extra elegance, garnish with orange slices or peeled bananas. For added pizazz, make edible flowers by dipping edible petals in chocolate or white chocolate. Then place them onto fresh fruit for decoration.
You can also put a few strawberries on top. If you don’t have time to put together this centerpiece, you could always buy some already prepped fruits from your local grocery store. You should always cut them up ahead of time.
Water Filled Containers
Water-filled containers are a quick and easy option when planning centerpieces for a large gathering. They’re easy to set up in advance and will come with your built-in light show! Plus, you can use colored bulbs to create any mood or theme you may want. Arrange glass vases of varying sizes in a circle on the table and top, each with the same colored pillar candle.
Layer larger glass vessels atop smaller ones for an extra touch of elegance, then fill them with fresh flower petals. Fill an oversized apothecary jar with a single type of flowers, such as roses or calla lilies. Then place it at the head of the table near where guests will be seated. Fill clear vases with pastel flower petals like roses and tulips, then scatter them around buffet tables to add color to food displays.
Placing large bottles with water and putting small tea lights inside create a luminous glow. These will both be elegant and highly budget-friendly. Add bright blooms to industrial-style mason jars filled halfway with water to create rustic appeal. Use several sizes of pots to make your centerpiece more interesting. If you’re looking for something unique, go for bathtub bubbles! Grab two medium-sized bubble machines and position them next to each other towards your center table display.
Colorful Glass Vases
Centerpieces don’t have to be complicated to make a show-stow, colorful table. Pick up a few vases of varying heights and sizes in various colors, or even all the same color. Fill them with flowers that come to about mid-way up the side of the vase and stick them on your table. If you want to go for something a little more modern, try painting some black chalkboard paint on each glass. Use it as an easy way to label what’s inside each vase. Or, write out instructions on the best care for the flowers, so they last as long as possible. You can also buy sticker labels on the bottom of the vase if you’d prefer not to write anything yourself.
Fruits and Vegetables in Vases
Fruits and vegetables make beautiful centerpieces that are not only in season and easy to find but will also be nice for the earth. There are wide varieties of fruit and vegetable in vases, so if you don’t like one, there’s plenty more to choose from! Mixing colors and textures can create an eye-catching centerpiece. Fruit and veggies mixed with flowers, greens, or even faux fur can be a great addition to your table.
If you want something completely different from these traditional options. You can use eggs, loaves of bread, potatoes, or candles as centerpieces! Eggs are an entertaining option because they last longer than other foods (if they aren’t eaten) and have a classic look.
Candles in Bowls


Are you looking for the perfect centerpiece? Illuminate your tablescape with an elegant glass bowl filled with floating candles. This is not only a stunning centerpiece, but it also provides warmth, mood lighting, and flameless romance. These centerpieces are surprisingly easy to make by simply arranging the candles in a water bowl and ensuring they don’t touch each other. It will look like you spent hours at the craft store sourcing the most expensive candles for your table. Then all you need to do is set up some candlesticks around the bowl, and voila! You’re done.
Baked Goods in Jars
Sweet treats in jars are one of the easiest centerpieces to make. The only supplies you need are jars, food coloring, sugar, and your favorite ingredients for making a treat. You can start with just two to three ingredients for a small pot or up to six for larger containers. Once all the ingredients are mixed, divide them evenly among five or six wide-mouth jars. Cover each pot loosely with aluminum foil. Please bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until they’re melted and slightly golden brown on top.
Once they’ve cooled completely, remove the foil from each jar and put them on display! If you want an extra special touch, place a single serving of the baked good into a paper cup and set it on top of the lid. Tie it up with a ribbon or leave it without any extra embellishments.
Modern Table Centerpieces


This is another good option for a table centerpiece. These modern table centerpieces often consist of beautiful lighting and floral arrangements. Lighting can be tough for a table centerpiece, but a pair of chic string lights dangling over your table is sure to look great. The right lighting will help your table centerpieces really stand out. Glitter in any color goes well with many types of table centerpieces and you should never underestimate the power of flowers on a table. Roses are not just there for Valentine’s Day, they’re an excellent choice year-round. They’re beautiful enough to serve as a centerpiece all by themselves.
For winter weddings, consider evergreens or branches from the backyard. And don’t forget about food: placing a bowl of fruit next to your centerpiece adds color and life to your tablescape. Candles work well too, and they can be tucked into some moss or another green item. Candles make it easy to add height if you don’t have much room left on your tabletop.
You could also place them around the room in vases if you want something more than a candlelight dinner. Decorating with Christmas lights has been trending this season. If you love them as we do, then go ahead and incorporate them into your table centerpiece!
Colorful Table Centerpieces


Take your time to find the right paint colors and then paint your table centerpiece a cheery color like yellow or orange. The next step is painting a leafy green around the edge of the table with the leaves falling off at one end. This will be where you display your centerpiece. Once it’s dry, tape some stripes on the other end of your table where the leaves are and decorate it with whatever you like! Glitter, gems, fake flowers, and candles are all good options!
You can also make them really special by adding different shapes that represent different seasons in your life. For example, if this was for a winter-themed wedding reception, use triangle shapes in blue and silver glitter for snowflakes. There are so many ways to create beautiful centerpieces that compliment any event.

5 FAQs about Choosing the Best Centerpiece for Your Table
A lovely centerpiece can add a splash of color to an otherwise monochromatic table setting and can liven up any gathering. However, finding the fitting centerpiece can seem tricky if you don’t know where to start or what factors to consider. To help make this process as smooth as possible, we’ve developed 5 FAQs about choosing the best centerpiece for your table.
¿Cómo sé qué tamaño de centro de mesa elegir?
What size centerpiece to choose will depend on many factors. You need to figure out what size and type of tables you have, how many people are coming to your event, and how much space you need for other things being served or placed on the table (plates, glassware, etc.). Of course, you’ll also want it to complement your color scheme.
It’s all a matter of balancing form and function! Make sure that whichever centerpiece you select is appropriate for the occasion and the environment in which it will be used.
What if I have a small table?
If you have a small table, you may want to go with something simple like flowers. Or, if your seating is tight, consider using round napkins or table covers instead of centerpieces. You can also ask one person at the table to make their centerpiece and put it in the middle of the table. An excellent idea for this might be someone who loves gardening! Another idea would be to use items from nature around your house, like twigs, stones, or pinecones.
What kind of flowers should I use?
You have many options for flowers to put on your table, with so many different colors and sizes. You can also opt to use fresh fruit or flowers that come in an arrangement already. If you’re looking for something more traditional, consider using candles instead. They are easy to light up when needed and add a perfect touch of romance.
What other elements can I use as decoration?
Plants, fruit, flowers, candles, and jars are all other elements that can be added to your table. The beauty of creating a centerpiece is that there are no limitations. Keep it simple with just one piece, or add many. Remember not to go overboard, so it doesn’t take away from all the other yummy food! Flowers are best in small bunches, such as four stems together in an even pattern across the table’s width.
They will also stay fresher longer if you place them at an angle against a taller object, like vases or candle holders. For larger tables, consider using smaller vases or glassware rather than one large vessel.
Where should I put my centerpiece on my table?
When choosing where to put your centerpiece on your table, follow these rules:
1. Leave space on either side of the centerpiece or along the length of your table. This will give people plenty of room to sit and prevent them from stepping on or around it while getting their food and drinks.
2. Put a centerpiece on each end of a rectangular table.
3. Put two centerpieces (each one different!) at the head and foot of an L-shaped table.
4. If you have an odd number of place settings, place a centerpiece in the middle of your table so that there is one per person.
