Birthday Celebrations . . .

Send a party to the Birthday Person!!

Show the Birthday Person a great way to celebrate the day! A centerpiece of mixed flowers, in a festive Top Hat with Party Blowers, is a way to get the party started!

          You Will Need:
                   Mixed Bouquet of Fresh Flowers
                   Greenery
                   Decorative Container (Top Hat)
                   Small Bowl to Fit the Container
                   Floral  Foam
                   Waterproof Floral Tape
                   Party Favor Blowers
                   4” Wooden Picks
                   Floral Wrap Tape

Begin by preparing the containers. Cut a piece of floral foam to fit the smaller bowl. Soak the foam until saturated. Place the foam in the smaller bowl and secure with the waterproof floral tape. Place the smaller bowl in the container. If the bowl is below the rim of the decorative container, raise the smaller bowl by placing a DRY piece of floral foam in the container and place the smaller bowl on the dry floral foam. Make sure the smaller bowl is slightly below the rim of the decorative container. Place pieces of greenery around the floral foam, allowing the greenery to rest along the rim of the decorative container.

​Place the tallest focal flower at the center of the floral foam covered with greenery. Place a second focal flower shorter and to the right of the tallest flower. Place a third focal flower to the left and shorter the second flower. Place secondary flowers throughout the focal flowers, making sure that these blooms are shorter than the focal flowers. Place filler flowers throughout the arrangement, shorter than the blooms already in the arrangement. Place pieces of filler flowers close to the floral foam – this adds depth to the floral design.

​When watering the centerpiece, take the smaller bowl out of the decorative container and fill with water. After the water has absorbed into the floral foam, replace the arrangement in the decorative container. Enjoy!
