Easter Centerpiece With Dough Bowls

I’ve collected several dough bowls over the years. Decorating with dough bowls offers a wonderfully versatile base for creating stunning yet simple arrangements. The wooden bowls add texture and depth to your table centerpieces. Today, I’m sharing both large and small dough bowl centerpieces so you have several options. Let’s begin with my favorite, large vintage European dough bowl.

How To Style A Large Dough Bowl For Easter

Let’s begin styling the large dough bowl for Easter. Since the bowl is very deep, I added some recycled shredded paper filler. Then, I added two small eucalyptus candle rings over the paper.

Next, I added a large straw bunny to the center of one eucalyptus ring and two faux paperwhite bulbs to the center of the other. Next to the paperwhite bulbs, I placed a small faux bird’s nest with small eggs.

For the final touch, I added a few Dollar Tree faux carrots, a few stems of baby’s breath, and some plastic Easter eggs to brighten the inside of the dough bowl.

My favorite vintage brass bird salt and pepper shakers complete the dining table centerpiece. The arrangement took only minutes and is a great centerpiece for a large table. The height will not distract your guests from enjoying each other’s company.

Cabbage and Bunnies In Dough Bowl

While I was working on the dough bowl arrangement, I couldn’t resist creating a couple of centerpiece ideas using the DIY Coffee Filter Paper Cabbages that were shared earlier this Spring.

I used the straw bunny for this centerpiece, but removed everything but the carrots. I placed the bunny in the center of the bowl and added the carrots in front. Then I arranged the paper cabbages to surround the bunny.

Next, I switched out the straw bunny for a few of my moss bunnies.

For this Easter centerpiece, I moved all the paper cabbages to one side and placed the large bunny at the end with a bundle of carrots and baby’s breath. To give the centerpiece a rustic feel, I added a clay pot holding more carrots, nestled another bunny amongst the cabbages, and allowed one to hop out and sit on the table.

Small Dough Bowl Centerpiece Ideas

Next, let’s look at some Easter centerpiece ideas using a small dough bowl.

Rustic Bunny Dough Bowl Centerpiece

I have had this copper bunny for several years and love decorating with it all spring and summer. So, I added the copper bunny to the center of the small vintage dough bowl and surrounded it with Spanish moss and old book page decoupaged Easter eggs.

Dried Hydrangea Easter Centerpiece

Using the same small dough bowl, I created a centerpiece vignette on my porch coffee table using dried hydrangeas.

The vignette includes a single dried hydrangea bloom, Spanish moss, napkin decoupaged Easter eggs, and a white porcelain bunny in the small dough bowl. I also included a vintage milk glass vase filled with more hydrangea blooms and a flicker candle on a thrifted candlestick base.

Narrow Dough Bowl Centerpiece

Finally, I have a long, narrow dough bowl, which I’ve often used as a table centerpiece. It also works well on narrow shelves and a mantel top. For this centerpiece idea, I combined two sizes of moss spheres, a thrifted gold bunny, and napkin-decoupage Easter eggs.

To style this dough bowl, fill it with the moss spheres and add the bunny to one side. Then tuck in a few of your smaller Easter eggs. Easy, peasy!!

In Conclusion:

I hope these Easter Centerpiece ideas have inspired you to think outside the box when decorating for Easter. Here are my best tips:

1. Look for centerpiece options with the decor you already own. You can also pull from other areas in your home to create a centerpiece.
2. Gather several pieces together to visualize how you can arrange them.
3. Look to nature. Gather twigs, greenery, flowers, and other elements from your landscape or garden to use in your arrangements.
4. Get creative, if you don’t have exactly what you want, look for substitutes that will work in the short term, such as fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, etc.

Thank you for stopping by today, and I look forward to sharing my next adventure with you.
