I’m not usually a proponent of silk flowers, but there are a few that work. And, let’s face it, as with all technology, fake flowers are getting better and better. Two types that we don’t mind incorporating are Orchids and Hydrangeas. In the do-it-yourself centerpiece below, we used fall colored silk hydrangeas.
What you need:
- short square vases
- reddish colored square foam core
- paring knife to cut foam core to fit
- 2 bunches of silk hydrangea flowers
- Large dried colored leaves (you can find them at floral supply stores and craft stores such as Michaels)
What you’ll do:
This is quite possibly one of the easiest centerpieces we’ve done and I love them so much I keep them in my dining room which has deep brown and mustard yellow colors so it matches perfectly.
- Cut floral foam to fit inside vase
- Place a dried leaf up against each side of vase
- Insert hydrangea flowers into foam core
- Insert foam core and flowers into vase
