Do you want to add a touch of personalization for a bridal shower or wedding? You can create DIY budget-friendly centerpieces for your event. Whatever flower arrangements you decide to make, I recommend recruiting friends or family and turning it into a joyful day by providing food and drinks on arrangement night. Remember to ask someone to transport the centerpieces and place them on the tables before your event so that you’re not trying to do it yourself on the day of the event. After all, you’ll be too busy being a full-time host or hostess!
Check out this tutorial showing you how easy it is to design your very own DIY budget-friendly centerpiece—for a bridal shower, wedding, or any special event you are planning!
Budget-Friendly DIY Centerpiece
Supplies you will need:
Faith Roses
Red Spray Roses
White Freesia
White Astilbe
Pink Hypericum Berries
Cocculus Greenery
Mercury Glass Vase (5” diameter opening)
Floral Scissor
Cut Floral Foam
Cut the floral foam to fit your centerpiece vase snugly. Soak your floral foam until it is saturated. Place wet floral foam in the vase.
Designing Your DIY Centerpiece
Start creating your centerpiece by cutting your rose stems and sticking them in the wet floral foam. Begin adding three roses in the floral foam center with space in between each rose.
Now add your red spray roses. Cut the stems of the spray roses to approximate the length of the faith roses and let the spray roses fall naturally around the faith roses. Continue adding the white astilbe and the white freesia. Turn your arrangement as you create it to form the shape and make sure the flowers are spread eventually without any gaps adding more faith roses. Last, add the pink hypericum berries.
Showing Off Your DIY Centerpiece
Place it in the middle of the table and show off your DIY centerpiece that will start your guests whispering about how lovely it is!
Adding Greenery
There are so many ways you can make and use this centerpiece. You can add greenery to elongate the shape. I love the look of matching the table linens to the hypericum berries to pop the color for a colorful statement.
Or you can make this centerpiece for a statement by placing it on a rustic wood table to welcome your guests. Romantic + Rustic- Trust me; however, you use your beautiful centerpieces, your guests will give endless compliments about the stunning centerpiece!
