This centerpiece is full of drama and personality but couldn’t be simpler to make!

Total Cost: $15 – $20

Supplies:

-Flower Clippers
-Vintage Saucers: We collected saucers at thrift shops and found a few on sale. They were easy to find for under $1 a piece. We used 12 saucers for a 6 foot long table.
-12 flower stems (for a 6 foot table)

Flowers that work well for this project:
Dahlias (pictured)
Garden roses or very open roses
Peonies
Zinnias
Asters

Steps:1. Clip off the stems so that the flower can sit flat.

2. Line up your saucers in the center of the table. Just eye what looks good to you.

3. Fill the saucers with water.

4. Float one large flower or a few small flowers in each saucer.

5. Mist with water.

Tips/Mistakes:
-You may have to re-cut the stem of the flower to make sure it really does sit flat once in water. It should be floating on the water, not standing on its stem.
-Put the saucers on the table before you fill them with the water and flowers.
-Because the centerpiece has to be set up on site, you might want to consider asking a friend, caterer, or wedding planner to do this for you.
