How to make a reception floral arrangement

11/21/08

Materials for floral arrangement

* One 12" vase
* A block of floral foam (wet foam for fresh flowers-dry foam for silks)
* Three stems of delphiniums (peach)
* 4 branches of peach blossom
* 7 stems of open roses (peach or apricot)
* 3 stems of open roses (white or cream)
* 5 stems of hydrangeas (blue)
* 3 sprays of camellias or mums
* 2 stems of white or light pink roses with stamens
* 3 stems of lilacs (purple-blue)
* 6 stems of lilacs (white-pink)
* 12 stems of fern
* 2 yards of 2-1/2"satin wired ribbon
* 1 wired wood floral pick

Tools you will need for the flower arrangement.

* wire cutters
* serrated knife or floral knife
* scissors

You may need floral clay to keep the floral foam snug in the vase.

You may also want to use floral tape to make a grid pattern on the top of the vase to help hold your flowers in place while you are arranging. You can also get this grid pattern easily by just using floral netting on the top of the vase.

If you are making this flower arrangement with fresh flowers you will want to have floral stem wire available to strengthen and lengthen the stems. See wiring techniques for more information on how to use wire.

Instructions

1. Cut floral foam to fit inside vase snugly.

2. Insert the tallest stems first to determine the shape of the arrangement.

3. Taper the flowers down and fill out the arrangement with the roses and the lilacs.

4. Fill in the empty space with the fern.

5. Make a ten inch wide, 4 loop bow (see directions for loopy bow) with 11" tails and wire to a floral pick. Insert in the front of the arrangement.
