Offer fresh-picked flair

with a festive centerpiece

All it takes to create a dazzling floral focal point is a handful of garden blooms, a pitcher and a few party-store extras.

Add 3 blue and 3 white hydrangea stems to a water-filled glass pitcher. Tuck in 4 red gerbera daisies and a mini American flag. Add a star-printed napkin, a candle cup and party-store star accents to a silver tray, then set pitcher on top.
