Table Centerpieces
DIY centerpieces are one of the most rewarding floral projects to take on. They allow you to put your personal touch on each table while staying true to your color palette and budget. Whether you're designing a romantic head table or scattering smaller centerpieces throughout your reception, making your own means you can tailor the look, size, and fullness to your exact vision.
QUICK TIPS
Prep Your stems
Gently fluff petals, trim greenery, and lay everything out by size and type. Be sure to hydrate overnight.
Start with Base
Skip the floral foam and go the eco-friendly route: use a loose ball of floral netting (or chicken wire) shaped to your vase. Secure it inside the opening with a crosshatch of floral tape. This gives your stems structure while allowing for a natural, airy look.
Build Your Shape
Use three larger flowers to define the framework, then work in smaller blooms and greenery around them. Vary the height and direction to create texture and depth.
Fill & Finesse
Once the main structure is in place, go back and fill in with filler flowers, long stems, or pops of color. Add subtle accents like trailing vines or blush petals for a romantic touch.
water check
Top off the water in your vases daily and keep them in a cool spot until setup time. Pro Tip! Centerpieces are a great project for a 1-3 days ahead of your event. They come together easily and don’t require the last-minute focus that things like the bridal bouquet might.
