This colorful fall centerpiece is quite simple to create with only a few items. Start with cylinder vases in various heights, and add smooth river rocks and water to the bottom of each vase. The greatest thing about this centerpiece is the versatility. It can be designed to fit with any season, decor, or theme. For example, this same centerpiece idea with white orchids and pink aquarium rocks might be the perfect decoration for a bridal shower.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the centerpiece is the flowers. The deep orange orchids shown here are perfect for a summer or fall wedding. Orchids have long, strong stems, which makes them a great flower to use for this type of centerpiece. Roses, tulips, lilies, and gerbera daisies are also great choices. The possibilities with cylinder vases and flowers are virtually endless.
