    Looking for a naturally beautiful floral centerpiece?  This DIY Cabbage Centerpiece is easy to create and adds a lot of impact to your table.  It works well for every season.  Just switch out the flowers to fit the season you are celebrating.

    Setting the table is one of my favorite parts of having a dining room.  I like to set the table even if we are not have a diner party, like my Hello Fall Dinner Party.  And honestly when we entertain sometimes I run out of time design a table.

    I am always looking simple and inexpensive ways to make the table feel extra special.  Last year I created this DIY Asparagus Candle Centerpiece.

    I loved the look so much that I wanted to do another centerpiece using vegetables and flowers.  This DIY Cabbage Centerpiece was simple to create and adds a fun pop of color and an unexpected centerpiece.

    I paired this centerpiece with my Hello Fall table for a super fun and festive.  I want to recreate it for Easter too.  To transform it to be Easter I will switch out the flower to be Tulips.
