It’s really best to go to a florist for your arrangement, but in a pinch, the bouquets found in grocery stores will work. This center piece is made from white and green button mums from our local grocer and it worked for the event. I really needed something as we have a very large square table which is spacious for a dinner for 4.
Green and White Mums
Ingredients
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting arrangement
- In this case, I used a fairly large large (10x10) low container so I needed 2 blocks of oasis (plus a little in the middle) to fill the container. The center piece was to go on a square 60x60 table so it had to be quite large
- The flowers were green and white mums and the greens were leathery/shiny green leaves
- Start with filling the container with water until the oasis has absorbed all the water without overflowing, then start adding the greens, starting in the corners
- Once the corners have been established, add the green mums, again mostly in the corners, and now, add the white mums to fill in the gaps,
- Stand back and look at the arrangement for balance, insert a few more green mums where you may see holes.
