Expand your idea of flowers and use flowering herbs set inside a terra-cotta pot covered in overlapping artichoke leaves (use a hot glue gun to secure each piece) for a gorgeous centerpiece. Tuck sprigs of herbs into a folded napkin for subtle scent and put whole artichokes to work as place card holders.

This tabletop proves that natural doesn't have to mean neutral. Tiny chili peppers, rosehips, berries and lady apples combine to make a sumptuous setting for any gathering. Place cards are pinned to apples for a final simple touch.
