To make this centerpiece you will need a compote vase (or pedestal vase), one brick of floral foam, and some scissors. Below is your romantic wedding flower centerpiece recipe, just 6 different products! Click on the photo to learn a little more about the product.
3 white peonies
3 pink peonies
9 lavender roses
3 stems of fuchsia stock
8 stems of pink wax flower
10 stems of dusty miller
To recreate this lovely centerpiece, start by cutting the floral foam to the appropriate size that will fit in your compote vase. Then soak the floral foam in the sink or a bucket of water until it is fully submerged. Let the water drip from the soaked foam and then place it in the vase. You can start arranging by scattering the peonies throughout the foam, leaving about 5 inches of stem out from the base of the bloom to the foam. Next, stagger the roses and stock in between the peonies. Lastly, use the wax flower to surround the big blooms and fill in any gaps and disperse the dusty miller around the bottom (this can also be done in the beginning) and in any other empty spaces.

What size vase do you recommend for this centerpiece?
Hi Eileen! I would suggest using a vase that has at least a 5-inch opening. You can stick wet foam into the container and stick the flowers into the foam. This will help to build shape! Hope this helps!
Are you selling these bouquets?
Hi Kimberly! We sell all the flowers that are in the bouquet for you to put together on our website. If you need help or have questions with your DIY flowers, please email us at service@BloomsByTheBox.com.
Hi Eileen, the vase used in the video has a 5″ round opening on the top. We would recommend using 2 bunches of tulips (20 stems) for a beautiful centerpiece. Happy New Year!
