How do I start to make my centerpiece?
- You should prepare your wood container in advance. *Optional, depending on what color you want your wood container and hearts to be or whether you are making it for a bridal or baby shower.
- The foam must be cut to fit in the wood container, then soaked in water until saturated, approximately two minutes. Lining the wooden container with a large Ziplock bag will protect it from moisture seeping through the container. Place the wet foam in the Ziplock bag.
- Prepare your flowers by removing any extra leaves on the stems. As you create your arrangement, cut the stems. It is important to create height by making each stem a different length. Stick each flower carefully into the wet floral foam.
- Begin by placing a white football mum in the center of the foam. Put a Geraldine rose on one side and an anemone on the other.
- Continue adding spray roses, and pink stock, filling in the all the flowers, making it full and by cutting stems at different heights.
- Fill the corners with stems of wax flowers and evenly distribute stems throughout the arrangement.
- Last but not least, add some bonsai greenery at the bottom to fill in any gaps.
