Floral Centerpiece size
Floral arrangements can be any size you want using whatever container you have. I made this large round centerpiece at Caroline’s home but having a smaller one might be more practical in certain places.
A smaller round centerpiece, this one stands just 8-inches tall (not including the candle) and about 12-inches around. It works nicely on the kitchen table without getting in the way of conversation or place settings.
You might want to create a casual tablescape with a sweet little arrangement in a teacup for a festive looking place for breakfast or snack-time treat.Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial
How to Make a Floral Christmas Centerpiece
- Container
- floral foam that holds water
- bowl for soaking the foam
- flowers of choice
- greens of choice
- berries, ribbon or other embellishments, if using
- floral waterproof tape
- garden clippers
- knife/cutting board
- candles, if using
- wood floral picks (optional)
After choosing your container, cut soaked foam to fit. My foam fit snug but if you need to secure it tighter, you can use floral tape across foam to hold in place.
Press the foam into the container and add a candle if you wish.
Cut greenery onto pieces and begin inserting around the rim of container.- Continue adding greenery evenly until the foam is no longer showing.
- Cut flowers and insert to create a pleasing arrangement.
- You can also add berries, pine cones or other decorations such as ribbon or small Christmas balls.
- If using pine cones of other embellishments, you can attach them to wood floral picks (pictured below) with wire making them easier to insert into the foam.
