• Begin by adding your greenery around the base of the candle holder. This will create a lush foundation for your flowers.

• Use floral wire, glue or just stick them on the foam to secure the greenery to the base or to the candle holders themselves.

• Next, add your larger flowers, spacing them evenly around the base and between the candle holders.

• Cut the stems of your flowers to the correct length, ensuring they sit nicely around the base and dont block the candles.

• Fill in any gaps with smaller flowers and filler greenery.

• Create a balanced and visually appealing arrangement.

• Focus on creating a flowing design around the base of the candle holders.

4. Adding Optional Decorations:

• For a more festive touch, add small decorative elements, moss, or ribbons to your arrangement.

• Scatter moss around the base for a natural look.

• Tie ribbons around the candle holders or create small bows to attach to the flowers.

  
  

5. Final Touches:

• Step back and admire your creation. Make any necessary adjustments to the flowers or decorations.

• Ensure that the candle holders are stable and that the flowers are securely attached.

• Place your candles into the holders.
