Candle or Vase Garland Flower Ring - DIY Wedding Centerpiece Step-by-Step Instructions and Tutorial

Directions

1. Get Creative with Your Garland: Before you dive in, assess your garland. If it's not as lush as you'd like, consider using two strands, each 3 feet long. This will create a fuller base and more texture in the greenery. If you are using fresh flowers, then use a floral foam wreath soaked and fresh greenery.

   Consider Adding Accents: Consider adding accents such as pearl sprays or feathers! You can add these before adding flowers or after.

2. Bind the Garlands: If you're using two strands, carefully bind them together using floral wire. Make sure the wire is secured, and the garlands are intertwined evenly and fluffed.

3. Stem Your Flowers (If using Wood Flowers): Stem your wood flowers using 18 gauge floral wire and a dab of hot glue. You can do this step as you go or stem them all at once.

4. Flower Placement Now comes the fun part: adding your flowers. Begin by twisting the flower stems onto the garland, ensuring they're evenly distributed by colors. Don't fall into the trap of creating rows or lines with one single color – embrace a harmonious blend.

5. Be Playful with Colors: Mix and match flower varieties to create a visual feast. Imagine pastel hues blending with deeper shades, or wood flowers adding a rustic touch to a garden-inspired piece.

6. Achieving Balance: As you twist flowers onto the garland, aim for balance. Ensure the arrangement looks full and even from all angles. Feel free to be creative with placement; don't hesitate to let some flowers drape over the edges for a whimsical touch.

7. Create Your Tablescape: Add elements such as the candles, 3 vases or a mirror or wood slice under your garland ring. Accent the table with smaller elements such as votives, seashells or driftwood.
