natural centerpiece for our summer tables. Quick and easy to make, this centerpiece can awaken the senses. Take care not to take a bite out of the apples which make it up!

 

 

Supplies
Tools
  • A round container approximately 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter (in this case, a metal pot)
  • Several skewers
  • Mini-test tubes for the orchids
  • Floral foam: Humidified, it improves the durability and freshness of the centerpiece and easily holds the elements in place
Materials
  • Small decorative apples
  • Round leaves, Galax or Ivy
  • Red coleus leaves
  • Natural Moss
  • Orchid flowers
Directions
  • Cut the floral foam so that it fits into our container.
  • Place the Galax leaves around the pot by slotting them between the foam and the container creating a 1st collar.
  • Prick the apples into the foam creating a 2nd collar.
  • Prick several coleus leaves creating a 3rd collar.
  • Place the test-tubes at the center of the composition and fill them with water.
  • Prick in some apples once again.

 Finishing touches to the natural centerpiece

  • Finalize the composition with some balled mousse.
  • Place the orchid flowers into the test-tubes.
