How To Make A Floral Centrepiece
Florist Trish Haunton demonstrates how to make a floral centre piece using Calla Lilies and a goldfish bowl. This will brighten up any wedding reception room!
Step 1: You will need
- A goldfish bowl with a 38cm diameter
10 long stemmed flowers
Scissors and a tape measure or ruler
Step 2: Types of flower
- Today we are using Calla Lilies but any long stemmed flower may by used. Be sure the stems are clean, pliable and smooth.
Step 4: Cut Flowers
- Measure your flowers, from the end of the stem to the tip of the flower. Using the scissors cut the flowers to 70cm. Always cut them on an angle for maximum water absorption.
Top tip: add half a cup of water to keep the flowers fresh.
Step 5: Arrange
- Gently bend the flowers into the fish bowl with the stem at the bottom. Curve the stem around the fish bowl.
Be careful not to break the stem. Once a few flowers are in the bowl, start placing the flower in the desired position and bend the stem in after.
Ensure there are no major gaps. Continue until all ten blooms are in and arrange in a sweeping fashion.
Step 6: Display
- Place the arrangement on your table for an artistic and stylish table centrepiece.
