Tall trumpet vase centerpieces can make a significant statement for your wedding and do not have to be costly. Use your creativity and DIY your tall wedding centerpieces!
The services of a professional florist can indeed be more than your budget— the sheer number of wedding tables that need flower centerpieces only compounds the costs. But there are plenty of options for budget-friendly centerpieces that are as affordable as they are beautiful. If you have your heart set on tall trumpet vase floral centerpieces, there are several things you can do to make it happen.
Tall Trumpet Vase Centerpiece
There is no limit to the variety and number of flowers to create a tall trumpet vase floral centerpiece. Are you ready?
Supplies you will need:
5-6 Stems of Hydrangea
10 Stems of Florida Cedar
8-10 Stems of White Freesia
5-6 Stems of Mini Burgundy Carnations
6-7 Stems of Cocculus Greenery
1 Block of instant Deluxe Oasis Floral Foam
6″ Lomey Designer Dish or Round Floral Dish
Double-Sided Tape
Glass Trumpet Vase
48 Small Mini Glass Balls
Fill your tall glass vase with your favorite color using small mercury glass ball ornaments. Cut one complete block of Oasis foam to fit in the center of a 6″ designer dish or bowl. Make sure the foam is soaked and tightly fitted in the dish.
Preparing Floral Foam
When using a designer dish, tape the foam on both sides of the block with waterproof floral tape. The floral tape will secure the floral foam, and the weight of the flowers will not pull the floral foam out of the designer dish. When you start creating the flower centerpiece, it’s helpful to elevate the dish. By doing so, you can see how the arrangement might look on the vase. To secure the floral dish, I like to use double-sided tape.
Adding Flowers
It would be best if you started with your biggest blooms, hydrangeas. Trim the hydrangea stems and insert the stems into the floral foam to create a round shape. Put the stems deep in the floral foam to lock them in place. By arranging the hydrangeas first, you will get a feel for how full the arrangement will be. Fluff the hydrangeas and carefully create the shape.
Add the Florida cedar greens around the bottom of the hydrangeas. Cut the stems to the desired length and secure them in the floral foam hanging down. Now add the Cocculus greenery.
You are ready to add the white freesia. Insert the freesia stems into the floral foam between the petals of the hydrangeas. You should position the freesia above the hydrangeas. Continue to turn the arrangement as you add more flowers. Add mini burgundy carnations for a pop of color.
