How To Tuesday: Flowers

The centerpiece: most times beautiful, sometimes awful, always a conversation starter. One thing you don’t want it to be is expensive. Today we’ll show you how to create an elegant, simple and classy centerpiece for your wedding.

Begin by gathering a few materials:

·       Shallow dish, found here

·       Soaped floral foam, found here

·       5-7 hydrangeas (found in grocery stores and floral shops)

·       Scissors

·       5-6 pink medium sized roses (found in grocery stores and floral shops)

·       Pearls, found here, and here

·       Crystal pins, found here

Once you’ve found the materials you can get started on creating your one-of-a-kind wedding centerpiece.
Begin with the dish. Make sure it is freshly cleaned in order to ensure a glossy finish. Fill the dish with floral foam and water.
Cut off each hydrangea flower and place them around the edge of the dish into the oasis. Make sure the hydrangeas are covering the edges of the dish and that the floral foam is invisible.
Next, place some roses in the center. Cut them with a knife or scissors and at a slant. Fill the remaining foam with roses until the piece looks full.
Add some finishing touches such as pearls around the flowers and/or crystals into the center of the roses.

There you have it, an elegant centerpiece that is sure to please and get your guests talking.
