I purchase the floral arrangement from Rag Shop when they were going out of business. The vase I purchased from another store.
Since you don't as yet have furniture in this space, it's advisable to leave the accessorizing till the end.
Okay!
Also, I don't feel the placemat adds to either piece.
Ok, thanks for your feed back! I thought adding a color placement will give it more of a decor look.

ETA - The smaller arrangement I purchase from either Home Goods or TJMax!

But, what I don't care for about it is the top of the vase - like you can see the oasis which makes it really look "artificical" vs. the 2nd arrangement the rafia bow covers the oasis and makes it look more like fresh flowers.
The floral came in a wooden piece, I took the flowers out and put into the vase. I have newspaper in the vase so the flowers can sit up high and I added the oasis that came with the floral to hide the newspaper.

Is there something I can do to hide it?

I would take the flowers out of the oasis and arrange them loosely in the vase...give it that fresh picked bouquet look! Pretty flowers!
I will do that! I will need to remove the newspaper because I have the paper in the vase for height!
