Tulips are one of my all-time favorite flowers and simply shout Springtime to me. I love buying cut tulips for myself this time of year and believe that they are a beautiful addition to any Easter tablescape. I purchase my tulips at our local grocery store but you can also find cut tulips at garden centers and flower shops. This year, I decided to try something new by creating a Topiary Tulip Chandelier. Here is what you will need to create one for yourself.
Supplies needed:
1. Faux topiary ball.
2. Ribbon.
3. Floral water picks.
4. Cut tulips.
Instructions:
1. Cut the stems of the tulips and place each stem in a floral water pick.
2. Tie a ribbon to the faux topiary ball and attach to a hook in the ceiling.
3. Arrange stems in the faux topiary ball.
That is seriously it. So simple! This is an easy and elegant way to add drama and interest above your table. I usually dress up my dining room table for holidays, but this time I chose to create an Easter tablescape on our everyday kitchen table. I absolutely love the way the tulip topiary chandy looks. I think I’ll be using this technique in the future with more cut flowers. The beauty of using cut tulips is that the stems naturally bend downwards creating a cascading effect as they open.
For the tablescape, I started with a blue throw for my “tablecloth”. I often use this trick when I don’t have a tablecloth that quite works and I don’t feel like buying a new one. In the center of the plates, I used bird nests from the dollar store filled with yellow Cadbury eggs.
The yellow polka-dot ribbon was a fun addition to the yellow tulips and yellow eggs. My carrots were actually such a bright orange and were distracting, so I glazed them with yellow paint!
The place cards are from Martha Stewart and were something I already had on hand. The bunny was from Pottery Barn, the bee glasses from Christmas Tree Shop, and the egg salt and pepper shakers from Target.
And here are just a few more fun pictures showing off my Easter Tablescape.
Would you like to create your own Easter tablescape using cut tulips? I’m giving away a $25 Visa gift card on behalf of iBulb.com to one of you so that you can buy yourself some cut tulips.

Oh my word Beth, this is so pretty! I love tulips too. They’re for sure my favorite flower… I love their simple elegance… plus my grandmother was 100% Dutch, so that may be part of it too… I can still see her gorgeous bulb gardens… I’d love to try my hand at creating a similar bulb chandy that you made here, it is really gorgeous!

tulips are my favorite flower, and in germany during easter they always use branches with decorated blown out eggs that hang off almost like a christmas tree with ornaments. I would hang some tulips down too

A few years back Martha Stewart did a basket with little pompom chicks and tulips. I recreated it but haven’t done it since. I would love to do it again.

Tulips are my favorite flower even though they last the shortest amount of time! I love what you did but my OCD nature would not quit fussing with it to make it hang straighter! LOL I’d like to try to make one with tulips covering the entire sphere or maybe put them on a wreath with the little vases you used!

I just scored a collection of chemical bottles (think big, brown, and glass. and GORGEOUS), in which I currently have some blooming branches. Tulips, though, would look fabulous.

I would use the tulips as a center piece for my table. I LOVE tulips, they are my favorite flower. I sold my house, moved across the country and am currently renting a house. It is so hard to decorate this rental (I was told to not even use screws on the walls.). Tulips would liven the place up a lot. Thanks for the insight and the giveaway!

Tulips look great in my house on the coffee table. I’d use a wooden bunny and some marble eggs to partner with the tulips on a tray which I’m planning to paint in the near future. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music

Thanks Kerri!
Lesley says
Sorry the raffle copter widget was missing when I scrolled through initially. You can delete my original comment .. I like to wrap a ribbon around tulips in a vase to keep them upright as long as possible, then a few days later let them fall naturally.
Margie Visnick says
I would photograph them for a wall canvas so their beauty could be preserved forever!
jessica anderson says
I would Do a Live Tulip Wreath with Moss
