Reese Witherspoon's flower arrangement is the tablescaping trick we're trying this Valentine's Day

Flowers can instantly brighten your mood, and they are one of the easiest ways to add a pop of color to a home – requiring only a bouquet, a vase, and a splash of fresh water. And, as per usual, Reese Witherspoon gets it. 

The actress took to TikTok to share a brilliant floral dining table decor idea, and we're taking notes. Her flower hack is simple, beautiful, versatile, and incredibly affordable.

In the video, Reese opens up a large, colorful bouquet and starts chopping. She takes scissors to each stem, cutting the flowers short to fit into a variety of short and stylish vases. These small bouquets can then be lined up on a dining table or used throughout the living room for a warm, romantic touch. It's a beautiful way to decorate with flowers this season and beyond.

Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens says: 'I love these short flowers because they encourage conversation when used as part of setting a table. They are small enough that you can speak over them, but they don't sacrifice style for function.'

Furthermore, this trick is the perfect way to celebrate love and decorate for Valentine's Day. If we're looking for a Reese-inspired way to make our spaces feel that little bit more special, Megan Slack, our head of celebrity news, urges us to follow this easy example. 

'Valentine's doesn't need to be a day of excess – just as Reese reminds us – we can find beauty in the most simple of arrangements. This year, I recommend taking time to follow her lead and decorate your dining table on (or around) February 14th with seasonal blooms that add some color against the gray of the seasons. To take this look further, why not invest in a new table runner, pottery, or some new glassware that will impress long after the 14th.'

However, we shouldn't pigeonhole this look as only working for Valentine's Day. It's easy to swap out the colors, heights, and variety of flowers to fit into a completely different floral trend. It's ultimately an extremely versatile style.

To recreate her look, all you need is a single bouquet and a collection of short glass vases. These can be purchased in lots on sites like Etsy or found at your local thrift store for an extra-affordable option.
