Things You'll Need:
- Container
- Oasis foam and florist's tape
- Leaves, ferns and other greenery
-
Step 1
Choose a container to hold your centerpiece. It should match the color scheme you are using for your wedding and should stand about one-third as tall as the tallest flowers you will be using.
-
Step 2
Soak the oasis foam with water and use it to fill the centerpiece container. Trim the edges to make sure it fits the container neatly. Make a grid of florist tape over the top of the foam to hold it down.
-
Step 3
Cut the stems of the leaves or ferns long enough to reach the bottom of the container, adding stability to the arrangement.
-
Step 4
Begin by creating a layer of glossy green leaves around the base of the foam. Make sure none of the oasis is visible through the leaves.
-
Step 5
Place shorter leaves and trailing greenery around the edges of the container. Let the trailing greenery hang over the edges of the container to create a natural looking centerpiece.
-
Step 6
Add gradually taller leaves as you move toward the center of the container. This will create an appealing, rounded shape.
