Inspiration: Chili Cook Off Centerpieces

This year's Superbowl Party with my friends is going to be a Chili Cook-Off. 
My friends Katie and Casey are hosting.  
I am going to be helping Katie with some of the decor this week. 
I've been brainstorming for styling ideas and I think it would be really fun to incorporate peppers since its a chili cook-off.

I love the bright colors and the fact that they tie in the chili theme.

These centerpieces with pepper mixed in are too cute.

Even just a cluster of different kinds and colors of pepper could be cute.  Clustered around a hurricane, or in a large footed bowl perhaps.

Bell pepper votives are an easy addition to the decor!

This topiary doesn't actually have any peppers on it, but it definitely inspires me to think about making a similar one out of chili peppers.

Dried chili peppers make a nice flower substitute. 

Off to research my chili recipe... :)
