Springtime, the most whimsical season of all, offers an excellent opportunity for experimenting with big, bold branches – and Gwen Stefani has already set the precedent.
The singer, who famously owns an Oklahoma ranch, has welcomed the season with a simple (yet statement-making) arrangement, using nothing but a glass vase and branches from her estate. In the footage, shared to Instagram, Gwen is seen carrying her hand-clipped floral foliage through her front door and through her living room, before placing the branches in the center of her coffee table alongside other flower-filled vases.
In Gwen's case, the arrangement looks stunning on her coffee table, but it would look just as perfect as part of a spring tablescape in a dining room, especially as we consider our Easter dinner table set-up. It'll also look great on a console in an entryway and is guaranteed to make a lasting first impression for the entire season ahead.

The untamed nature of Gwen Stefani's foliage reminds us that you don't need to spend a fortune to create a celebrity-approved focal point. You can use similar branches from your own yard, or pick up a bunch at a local nursery (or online, as we've listed above). Plus, their organic aesthetic marks a shift in floral trends, as experts explain.
'Spring tablescaping is embracing a shift toward wild, untamed greenery that feels both effortless and modern,' comments Melanie Kalfaian, a tablescaping expert from handcrafted decor company What A Host.
'This season, there’s a trend toward using lush, sprawling foliage like eucalyptus, ivy, and blossoming branches directly from the garden to create natural, unstructured centerpieces. Mixing bold, sculptural leaves with delicate trailing vines adds depth and a sense of movement, while keeping arrangements low and sprawling feels contemporary and inviting. The key is simplicity: letting the foliage speak for itself without overwhelming the table.'
Simple yet stylish foliage branches will always bring an elevated aesthetic to your living or dining room, but there's no better time to collect them than this spring. Enjoy the process of picking up your branches, and the experience of styling them even more. Then rest easy, knowing your centerpiece is right on trend – and Gwen Stefani approved.
