8. Elevated Paulownia Wood Riser with Neutral Ceramic Botanicals

What You Need

  • A low-profile rectangular Paulownia wood riser with short feet
  • 2 minimalist cream ceramic bud vases
  • Single stems of dried honesty plant (Lunaria) or bleached ruscus
  • A small linen scent sachet

How to Make It

  • Place the wooden riser in the exact center of your table to lift your decor off the wood surface.
  • Place the two ceramic bud vases on opposite sides of the riser.
  • Insert 2–3 delicate stems of translucent honesty plant into one vase and a single arching ruscus stem into the other.
  • Tuck the linen scent sachet neatly between the vases.

Tips & Variations

  • Tip: Elevating decor makes cleaning the table or moving the centerpiece during meals effortless.
  • Variation: Use small ceramic oil burners with neutral essential oils instead of bud vases.
