Candle Floral Arrangement

From the book Your Guide to Creativity

Wedding Flower Arrangement Project

Supplies:

 5 ribbons

  Assorted flowers

 Dry floral foam

Candleholder

  Flat, round utility container

  Hot glue and hot-glue gun

  Waterproof floral tape

Spanish moss

  Greening pins

  3 x 9-inch pillar candle

  3-inch wood picks and pick tool

Stem tape (floral tape)

Scissors

 Greenery bush

  Wire and wire cutter

 

Instructions:

1. Follow the directions for the low formal flower arrangement, except that the flowers are cut smaller and the stems are shorter in this version.

2. Insert the line flowers first to establish the height and width of the arrangement. By beginning with the line flowers, you will be able to establish the shape of the flower arrangement.

3. Fill in around the line flowers with dominant flowers. Use individual blooms from a stem of flowers. Wire new "stems" to these blooms.

4. Wrap the new stems with stem tape. Insert flowers at different lengths to achieve depth. Continue working with the shape of the flower arrangement. Add the greenery and filler flowers.

5. Cut five ribbons to different lengths. Fold lengths in half and secure to a wood pick. Cut the ends of the ribbons on angles for a pleasing look, and pick them into the flower arrangement.

Note: Make the floral design as elaborate or simple as you like by varying the lengths of flowers used. Leave the taper candles out of the design or use it on a reception buffet or dining table.
