Capture the magic and freshness of nature with a lovely DIY spring centrepiece. With this DIY tutorial we’ll show you how to achieve a sophisticated, classy, yet simplistic look with our vases, bottles, and pretty birdcage centrepieces using tulips, baby’s breath, and carnations.
Look #1 – Tulips
What You’ll Need:
- A large glass cylinder
- A perching bird
- A bunch of parrot tulips
- A bunch of regular tulips
- A bunch of israeli ruscus
- A good pair of sheers for trimming
Instructions:
Simply fill your vases with cuttings of tulips (with water) and arrange your final vases in the centre of your wedding table. We completed this look with one of our gorgeous ceramic perching birds and an arrangement of israeli ruscus like a wreath below the central vase.

Look #2 – Baby’s Breath
What You’ll Need:
- Small Metal Birdcage (we removed the included hanging tealight holder)
- Two large bunches of baby’s breath
- A good pair of sheers for trimming
Instructions:
Once you’ve removed the tealight holder from the birdcage, you can start to add the flowers to the inside of the empty cage. Be sure to trim the stems to an even size, as this makes it easier to fit them inside the birdcage, and fill the cage with as many flowers as you like. In order to get a beautiful voluminous look, we packed in as many as possible without crushing the stems and tried not to incorporate stems that were too thick.

Other Ideas:
This birdcage looks particularly beautiful no matter how you decorate it. Other ideas include:
#1 – Using the suspended tealight holder as a miniature vase of water, in which you can add short cuttings of flowers.
#2 – Adding a wreath of flowers to your birdcage, woven with a vintage gold wire and pearl garland.
#3 – Raise your birdcage on something like our iron pillar candle holder and finish the look with overhanging strings of pearls.
Look #3 – Carnations
What You’ll Need:
- A selection of glass bottles
- A handful of carnations (we used white and pink)
- A good pair of sheers for trimming
Instructions:
Cut your carnations to the correct length for your bottles. For a beautiful effect, be sure to put a mix of flower colours together in one arrangement. As a final touch, we added a couple of pretty porcelain birds (these look particularly beautiful with an accent of gold!)

And there we are! Simple yet stunning!
