I am super excited to show you some adorable centerpieces you can make for events. I am sure you guys are always wondering how to spruce up a table for a party or even a wedding. These DIY Garden Wedding centerpieces I am sharing with you today can be modified to fit whatever event you are decorating for. This could even include seasonal parties. You could completely change these to make cute Halloween or even Christmas centerpieces. I am sure your mind is running with all the ideas right now! I know mine is.

Most importantly when designing your centerpieces for a table make sure you are always using a battery-operated candle. I mean do I really have to explain why but just in case it is to keep you from starting a fire when using artificial or live florals in your design! Let’s not make the party too memorable!!

Another great tip is to always keep your designs low. You do not want your guest to not be able to see the people across the table from them. It also helps in keeping the centerpiece from tipping over or being knocked over. Using floral foam blocks inside your containers helps you keep things balanced as well as beautiful. Those foam blocks help you place your florals in your centerpiece and make a high statement with little work.

I am loving these DIY centerpieces and hope you are too. Get creative and make your own centerpieces today for that next big event you have coming up. Really wow your guest with some amazing DIY centerpieces at your next event!

Directions For Large centerpiece

  • If your container has a seam make sure this is the back of your centerpieces. Using green floral foam cut a piece where it will fit into the bottom of your container. Using gorilla glue and hot glue place it on the bottom of your foam block and then press down onto your tin can. Make two blocks and glue them on top of each other to give some height
  • Take your large candle and sit it on top of your foam blocks. Using floral pins secure your candle in place. Do not push these into your candle just push them down into the foam block to help keep it snug. Add some hot glue to the floral pins for extra protection. This is just giving your candle a zone to sit in.
  • Using a rosemary bush cut some stem off your bush and get one stem into two. Start adding these closer all around your candle. Pushing the stem directly into the foam block. To make it more full go around and do a bottom layer of moss around the row you just placed.
  • With moss ribbon run it around the top of your candle to measure the amount you need. Then trim it where it just slightly overlaps. Tack it with a little bit of glue to hold that moss ribbon in place.
  • Now with an artificial grapevine that comes in a roll, take a couple of pieces off by gently pulling it and gather a few strands from it. Run it right on top of your moss ribbon and tie a little knot.
  • Cut a little succulent off and tie it on with your grapevine knot is. Placing it at an angle and tuck it in. You can curl the ends of the grapevine too using your finger.

Directions for small centerpiece

  • Using green floral foam cut a piece where it will fit into the bottom of your container. Using gorilla glue and hot glue place it on the bottom of your foam block and then press down onto your tin can. Make two blocks and glue them on top of each other to give some height. Be sure to add lots of hot glue to make sure they stay. In this one you are adding an additional foam block so you will have three.
  • Take your candle and sit it on top of your foam blocks. Using floral pins secure your candle in place. Add some hot glue to the floral pins for extra protection. This is just giving your candle a zone to sit in.
  • Using a daisy stem cut some stems off into smaller pieces. Then cut up your button grass greenery as well into smaller pieces. Start adding these by alternating the daisies and grass around your candle. Just create your own pattern and work your way around it. I am leaving a hole to come back and add some succelents.
  • Now with an artificial grapevine that comes in a roll, take a couple of pieces off and make a cute little loop and pin it on one side of your tin container.
  • Make it appear like it has a handle using that grapevine.
