Modern pink rose centerpieces for the holiday

As I mentioned in my previous article, the pink color can be a very stylish choice for the holidays. Roses being the universal symbol of love, they also come come in different hues, including a beautiful mix of pink and white. This mix of color blends very well with the traditional wintergreen and gold, and also creates a stunning contrast on a white tabletop. The combination of white, pink, wintergreen and gold will definitely make a statement on your dinning room table and dazzle your guests.

The featured centerpiece is created with a grouping of 3 simple round designs, based with standard and spray roses. The visual interest is created by the grouping of round vessels, as well as the contrasting texture of the two types of roses. In our example, I am using round silver tins to give the presentation a more modern hedge, but you can use any other vessels that will better match your wedding venue. Depending on the size of your table(s), the size and height of these containers will vary. I like using these grouping in long tables, which are perfect to emphasize repetition.

Holiday centerpieces with pink roses

1 medium round tin silver (7” – 18cm)*
2 small round tin silver (4” – 10cm)*
12 stems of pink standard roses
20 stems of pink spray roses
1 floral foam*
Moss*
Accent ribbon*
Accent berries*

* Available at craft or floral supply stores

Soak you oasis foam and shape it to fit the 3 tins.

Use the standard roses for the medium size tin by cutting them short (about 2”) and making sure at least 1 1/2” is in the foam. Place your flower looking straight up in concentric circles. Use the moss to conceal the foam, especially around the edge.

For each small tin, use 10 stems of spray roses and insert the flowers individually into the foam (not by clusters). Create concentric circles to mimic the design of the larger tin. Conceal also the foam using the moss.

Complete your design by wrapping the tin with the ribbon and tie a couple of accent berries.

Note

Make sure that your tin is water proof by filling them with water first. If the tins are not water proof, place a plastic liner before inserting the foam.
