Decorating for
Valentine's Day Valentine's Day
Pink Roses & Twigs Centerpiece
Valentine's Day is winter time which means you can
get a lot of bare twigs to make this centerpiece.
This arrangement is made in a brown ceramic bowl,
with a thin piece of floral foam (only about 2" deep) down in the
bottom of the container. The floral foam has been anchored to the
container with a plastic pin holder, fixed with green floral fix, as
it is not possible to anchor it to the container with tape. The foam
is covered with a thin layer of green sisal, but reindeer moss or
something similar would do.
Add a few pink spray carnations, evenly spaced, and
quite low onto the foam. Use some gnarled twigs of Sycamore (Acer
pseudoplatanus). These were well weathered, and had moss and lichen
growing on them, which added to the effect! The twigs are arranged
loosely in a dome shape. Finally, add some pink roses, arranged so
that they nestle just inside the twigs, not too low, and not too
high.
