How to Make a Tall Vase Centrepiece With Hydrangea and Roses

Today we're going to teach you how to make a tall centerpiece with hydrangeas and roses. For this we're going to need some oasis, a plastic container measuring five inches, a 24-inch Pilsner vase, some expandable crystals, we're going to need some diamond ribbon, some utensils like scissors and knives, floral tape, a glue gun, and we're also going to need some white roses, a dozen approximately, four large hydrangeas, some baby's breath, and greenery. We're going to begin by setting up the vase. We will fill the vase with some acrylic crystals and then we're going to prepare the oasis by taking the plastic container. You have to measure it according to height to ensure that a sufficient amount of the oasis peers through. So cut it down according to the width of your vase. Once you have reached the desired height you may insert the oasis. Attach the oasis to the rim of vase with floral tape. Make sure that the oasis is pre-soaked before you begin attaching it. Make sure that the surface of the vase is dry and not wet otherwise the floral tape will not attach securely to the rim. Run the floral tape around the rim of the vase making sure that every piece of tape is secured and the plastic container is secured tightly to the rim of the vase. To hide the floral tape we will attach some diamond ribbon around the rim of the vase. Use a glue gun to firmly secure the diamond ribbon to the rim of your vase. Measure the diamond ribbon according to the rim of your vase and ensure that it is the appropriate length to go around the circumference of your vase. Now we will begin setting up the flowers. We will start with a hydrangea. Make sure that you cut vertically to ensure you open up the stem in order for the hydrangea to stay hydrated. It is very important that you open up the stem so that it may absorb water. We will then begin to take our roses and place them between the hydrangeas. We will fill any gaps with baby's breath. Place the roses between the hydrangeas and anywhere there is space. Any remaining gaps can be filled with greenery and baby's breath. We are almost finished. We finalize the centerpiece by adding greenery to the bottom in order to prop the flowers up. If there are any edges of the greenery that you do not like that have been browning you can use scissors to cut around the edges. Continue assembling the greenery. The greenery allows the flowers to be propped up, held together and allows to maintain the shape. When you are finished you may choose to add a few pieces of accent. You can choose to spray twigs and add it to the top of your arrangement. This is entirely up to you. When you are done the centerpiece you have to spray the hydrangeas thoroughly with water and store your flowers in a cool area overnight. Ensure that the container is full of water. If it is not you may risk having the hydrangeas collapse during your ceremony. This is what the finished product will look like.
