Table centrepieces are a lovely feature to any table and this can set the mood for the occasion for example at a wedding or it can just transform an ordinary dining table into a beautiful and elegant one. In this post you can learn how to make a peonies table centre piece.
When creating a centrepiece you can use fresh, dried or artificial flowers and you should consider the occasions this is for so you make sure you pick flowers that suit the required mood and create the right ambiance, for example by using light pinks, peonies and roses this gives off the ambiance of romance and elegance, whereas using brighter colours can set the mood for a high energy party and vibrant occasion.

What You Need
- Grey foam block
- Artificial flowers

How to Make it – Your 4 Step Guide
Step 1 – Prepare the foam block
Cut your foam block to the required size, you don’t want to see this poking out in your arrangement.
Step 2 – Measure out for candle
Place your candle in the middle of your foam block and then draw round this with your florist knife and cut down for about a quarter of an inch to half an inch and then scoop this out. When this is scoped out push your candle in to the hole.
I used a grapefruit spoon to help with the scooping of this as it has a slightly jagged edge so makes the cutting and scooping a little easier.
Step 3 – Secure the foam block
Use your glue gun to glue your foam block to the middle of your cake stand.
Step 4 – Time to get arranging
Add your chosen flowers and foliage and create your arrangement starting with your focal point flowers. Tip hold your flowers against the foam roughly first and don’t poke these through as you don’t want to put too many holes in the foam as this weakens the structure. When you are happy with where you want to places these then put the flowers into the foam block.
Tip’s
You can get so many lovely artificial flowers these days and very reasonably priced, sometimes you only need a couple of the more expensive ones and you can just use your cheaper options to fill-in.
