Create a beautiful, lasting wedding centerpiece with Sola Wood Flowers and greenery! This tutorial will guide you step by step to assemble a stunning floral arrangement that’s perfect for your tables or décor.

 

Materials Needed

  • Sola Wood Flowers
  • Greenery
  • Bamboo Stems
  • Floral Foam
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Medium Square Centerpiece Box (size and stain vary)*
  • Scissors or wire cutters

 

Step One

1. Hot Glue Gun:

  • Insert a glue stick into the gun.
  • Plug in and turn on the glue gun
  • Wait until the gun heats up and is ready to use.

 

Step Two

2. Get Your Flowers Ready

  • Grab your sola wood flowers and set them aside for arranging.

 

Step Three

3. Prepare the Flowers

  • Attach bamboo stems to each sola wood flower using a dab of hot glue.
  • This provides a sturdy stem for arranging in your centerpiece.

 

Step Four

4. Prepare the Base

  • Place your floral foam into the centerpiece box.
  • Make sure it fits snugly to hold the stems securely.

 

Step Five

5. Insert the Flowers

  • Arrange the flowers in the foam, starting with larger blooms in the center and working outward for a balanced look.
  • Push each stem gently into the foam to secure it.

 

Step Six

6. Add Greenery

  • Fill in the gaps between flowers with greenery.
  • This adds texture, volume, and a natural finish to your centerpiece.
  • Trim to the ideal length depending on your style. (We suggest keeping the stand out greenery height at a maximum of 2.5” inches. Exceeding this size increases the possibility of damage or deform.)

 

Step Seven

7. Final Touches

  • Adjust flowers and greenery to ensure a full, balanced arrangement.
  • Step back and make any small tweaks as needed.

 

Final Result

Congratulations! You’ve just created your own DIY wedding centerpiece! This elegant arrangement will last for years and is perfect for decorating tables, gift areas, or special events.

Additional decoration: The great thing about sola flowers is that your creativity has no limits—feel free to add as many colors, textures, and elements as you like to make the boutonnieres truly reflect you and this special moment. Add leaves, twigs, glitter, bows, feathers or any other details to make the boutonniere yours. 

Plus for realism: You can even add your favorite scent to the flowers, making them smell just how you want. The sola flowers material acts like a diffuser because of how absorbent they are, so adding a scent can make you enjoy your florals even more.
