This is a 20" tall vase for the tower centerpiece.
I used a 5" foam ball covered with moss for the top of the vase. The ball fits nicely on top....after the arrangement is made, I can lift the ball off and store the arrangement until the wedding (I placed the arrangement in a plastic round bowl). This makes for an easier transport to the reception hall. Caitlin also wanted colored stone in the bottom of the vase for added color.
For the start of the arrangement, Caitlin and I cut stems off of leaves purchased in a bunch (Thank you Joey for your help....some of those stems are hard to cut!). We stuck them in the foam and bent them to show the vase. After breaking one vase while assembling, I got smart and assembled it on a non-breakable vase.....then moved to the glass vase to see the creation evolve and to take these pictures. :-)
This flower arrangement is made with 2 bunches of leaves.
The finished centerpiece!!!!! Isn't it beautiful??!! This took us two hours to create. With Caitlin's help, we made 5 arrangements today! 5 down and 25 more to go! YIKES......Thank goodness the wedding is still a little over a year away. With school, and work we are making these in our spare time. When these are done, other arrangements and bouquets will be made. Check back for wedding updates!
