Centerpieces

Ashlei, on October 10, 2019 at 12:43 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 14
Thank you to whoever told me Lings moment for fake flowers! I just got them in and they are AMAZING! but I’ve also realized I suck at trying to be creative and make centerpieces 😂🤦🏼‍♀️Anyone who’s doing their own, HELP! Where did you get inspiration, and how did you figure out how to do it! Everything Ive kind of messed around with looks like a toddler threw it together lol I bought a cheap lantern and a few other cheap things to mess around with to see if I like the look before fully committing to anything but I’m struggling lol

    This is one of my biggest worries. I can get the flowers and other pieces but am I creative enough to put something together that looks appropriate? Good luck! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

    Ugh! Yes! The bouquets I’ve made look awesome (nothing officially finished just thrown together and pulled back apart so no pics yet) but I can’t figure out how to put the flowers in/on/around anything! I got a bowl vase and it looks like it’s puking flowers, got a lantern and have zero idea where to start and a wooden box type thing and I’m lost 😂 I’ve tried watching YouTube but they go so fast! Lol

    I'm no expert, but I do know that when working with artificial flowers, it really helps to have some of that floral foam. They come in little "bricks" of different shapes (square, circle, rectangle) and you insert the flowers into it to get them to stay put in a particular place/position. There is also floral tape, floral wire, and other "tools" to help things follow a particular shape. Any place that sells craft stuff or artificial flowers will have this stuff.

    The only other thing I can recommend is to keep watching You Tube. Yes, they go fast, but just watch it again. Maybe take notes, so you can have something to refer back to.

    I feel your pain ladies, as I'm not the most creative one in the bunch. Another reason I'm doing candles/vases for my centerpieces--less to figure out!! lol Good luck!!

    Those are so pretty!!! I hope I’m able to make mine that great! Are those real or fake flowers? If they are fake where did you get the greenery!

    I’m sorry, I have a question. Are these faux flowers or real flowers? I’m looking into something’s and stumbled across this post.
