  Keep it simple and fresh when designing a country table centerpiece. Incorporate fresh-picked flowers from your garden or a country field into the arrangement. Pull out your favorite antique pieces and use them to create charming table designs. Country table centerpieces should appear as if they were casually thrown-together, not labored over. Create a coordinating look using complementary colors and patterns, such as fabrics featuring green stripes with pink floral designs.
  
  

Jar of Wildflowers

• Incorporate just-picked wildflowers into a simple country-inspired centerpiece. Fill a vintage glass mason jar with water and a handful of vibrantly colored wildflowers such as daisies, snapdragons, black-eyed susans, coneflowers, poppies and zinnias. Place a bandanna or a square of gingham-patterned fabric under the jar.
  
  

Dried Corn Decor

• Create a farm-inspired centerpiece using dried corn. Fill round or square clear glass vessel halfway with dried corn. You can also use coffee beans or dried fruit, depending on the party theme and color scheme. Nestle a pillar candle into the decor for a charming centerpiece that provides soft lighting.
  
  

Country Christmas Centerpiece

• Design a festive country centerpiece to enhance a holiday dinner table. Fill a galvanized metal tub or large bucket with small live miniature pine trees. Surround the tub with twigs of red berries and small votive holders filled with green and white candles.
  
  

Harvest Centerpiece

• Celebrate autumn in the country with vibrant harvest-inspired decor. Fill large glass apothecary jars with assorted fall items, such as pine cones, mini pumpkins, green and gold gourds or colorful Indian corn. Sprinkle real or faux autumn leaves around the arrangement. Place a tall taper candle in a pine cone-shaped votive holder on each side of the apothecary jar.
  
  

Pitcher of Flowers

• Make a charming spring centerpiece using a vintage farmhouse pitcher. Decorate a porch or garden soiree with a white ceramic pitcher filled with colorful fresh flowers. Use pink sweetheart roses, yellow and orange tulips, purple hyacinth, and accents of eucalyptus and baby's breath for a country chic look.
