DIY Tea Party Centerpiece Ideas
1. Flowers in a Teapot
Use a vintage or floral teapot as a vase and fill it with fresh flowers like roses, tulips, or hydrangeas.
This is one of the easiest and most classic tea party centerpieces and works for garden tea, high tea, and bridal showers.

2. Mason Jar Floral Centerpieces
Fill mason jars with simple blooms such as daisies, baby’s breath, or roses. Tie ribbon, lace, or twine around the jars to match your theme. Budget-friendly and perfect for casual or rustic tea parties.

3. Stacked Teacups with Flowers
Stack mismatched teacups and fill the top cup with small flowers or greenery. This creates height without blocking conversation and adds a whimsical, vintage feel.

4. Tiered Tray Centerpieces
Use a tiered stand filled with mini desserts, cupcakes, macarons, or tea sandwiches. This doubles as decor and food, making it practical and pretty for brunch-style tea parties.

5. Vintage Books + Florals
Stack a few old books and place a small floral arrangement or teacup on top. This works especially well for vintage or English tea party themes.
