Create an Elegant Winter White Centerpiece
Are you looking for a lovely way to decorate your table using seasonal floral colors? Designer Minoo Hersini has created a great how-to for a simple and elegant way to decorate using calla lilies and white sweet peas.
These little floral arrangements would be great for anything from decor for wedding receptions to just sprucing up your table for dinner!
To make this project you need:
* 7-9 stems of large calla lily.
* Vases. You need one calla lily per vase. Depending on the size of the table, you can use one or as many vases as you wish. To create an impact, allow 9″ in between.
* 9 stems of white sweet pea per vase.
* 1 stem of lily grass per vase.
Gently remove the yellow center part of the flower.
Fill the center of the flower with sweet peas. Add one at a time.
Take one stem of lily grass and gently move your finger through the grass so it becomes softer and can easily bend. Make sure to treat the grass as if you are working with ribbon.
Use the grass to tie your stems. Gently make a knot and cut the ends in an angle.
Cut your bouquet in an angle.
It’s more interesting if your bouquet sits on the side of your glass and is leaning. You can secure the position by anchoring the knot.
Use the lilies as a centerpiece for a dining table, a console table or as an accent.
