Tips for Making Diy Centerpieces

If your budget does not allow you much for flowers and arrangements here are a few tips to help you create arrangements that are simple and elegant.

Concealing and Covering Flower Stems

Use floral foam to hold flowers at the right angle and at the right spacing and conceal the foam with plenty of foliage. You can also conceal the stems and floral foam using mystic crystal and several other vase fillers to cover the foam. Use floral wire on soft stem flowers, this allows you to bend and shape the flowers without damage to them. Practice on just one arrangement until you get the look you want for your special event. This will save you time and money.

Choosing the Right Floral Foam for Your Arrangements

**TIP – Be sure when choosing floral foam that you choose the correct type of foam. Wet foam is used for fresh flowers and can also be used for a combination of fresh and silk flower arrangements. Dry foam however is used for silk flower and dried flower arrangements.
