Floral centerpiece for your wedding | 1/7
Here is a tutorial for your floral centerpiece, by the American expert Lucy Bennett.
What you need: 1. scissors with flowers, 2. a block of floral foam, 3. the receptacle of your choice (you can opt for a beautiful basin, like here).
And, of course, 4. flowers.

The flowers used here are two species of roses, white anemones, white and pink buttercups, pink rice flowers, green amaranth, and Italian frog.
Step 1: First, let’s prepare the flowers. Spread thorns, low leaves, drooping petals or damaged. Cut the bottom 5 cm of the stems under an oblique 45 degrees, under a trickle of warm water. Hold the flowers for 4 to 6 hours in water (discarding any leaves that touch the water), away from drafts in a place protected from sunlight.
Step 2: Cut out your piece of foam in a size appropriate to the vase. Place the foam in water with nutritious flowers. It is not worth it to submerge the foam, let it soak itself. You’ll know it’s ready when it floats to the surface, no air bubbles coming out.
Step 3: Prepare a “foundation” by inserting green plants and stems. Thread the stems of your flowers in, paying attention to the inclination, because it will remain as it is. The Italian fragon is perfect for forming the base, because it creates a volume while keeping a sufficient flexibility.
And you are ready!

Step 4: Add amaranth with its hanging branches. It’s good to put them now, so that the blooms you add later are not overshadowed, but, on the contrary, stand out better.
Step 5: First place the focal points, the largest flowers. Here the roses were placed first, leaving ample space for less important flowers, buttercups and anemones.
Step 6: Complete the hierarchy by adding the “secondary” flowers.
Step 7: Add the flower – filling, here the rice flower. Place where there are excess green fonts or where the lotion is still visible. And you are ready with your floral centerpiece!
