Tropical Cereal Bowl Arrangement - DIY Wedding Centerpiece Step-by-Step Instructions and Tutorial

Directions

1. Choose Your Vessel: Opt for cereal bowls or compote vases (if you want more height) as your vessels. Their wide, open designs provide the perfect backdrop for your lush and colorful tropical creation.

2. Prepare the Base: Begin by covering the 5.5-6" half foam ball with Spanish moss, securing it with greening pins. This step creates a stable base for your arrangement and gives it that tropical feel.

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. Build the Structure: Before adding the show-stopping elements, build the structure with foliage and fillers. Start with monstera leaves and cycas leaves to create that lush, dense tropical foliage. Next, introduce Green Tail Fern Spray and assorted fern to add layers and volume.

5. Add Your Choice of Flowers: Now it's time to introduce your choice of silk, wood, or fresh flowers. Whether you prefer the permanence of silk, the rustic charm of wood, or the natural beauty of fresh blooms, the decision is yours. Feel free to experiment with different colors and textures to achieve the tropical paradise look you desire.

6. Add Your Chosen Accents: To enhance the elegance of your centerpiece, consider adding pearls, feathers, or additional greenery accents. These delicate touches will add a unique and sophisticated flair to your arrangement.

7. Create Your Tablescape: For Round Tables You can use this centerpiece and add a wood slice or round mirror base. Place small votives or candles around this focal point, along with your table numbers.

   For Rectangular Tables Consider using the arrangement as the focal point. add smaller elements from the center such as bud vases, votives, lower candles, or even flower scatter.
