"And today we are creating a center piece for our table, specifically with fresh flowers. I've chosen various flowers. Some little mums, little white mums, some red carnations, we might even add a few red roses. We also have some Puruvian Lilies, which are called Austra Maria, which we're going to use in it. Some red and some white. So we're going to do a red and white theme with our center piece today. We're going to start by adding a few carnations to our center piece. We've all ready taken or chosen our bowl, we've added the foam, the floral foam that has been soaked. We've added some extra water. And put greens all over. And now we're going to add some flowers so that, and finish filling it out. We're going to add a couple of carnations, so that we can. To start with our red and white theme, these beautiful red carnations will be very pretty. We can fluff them out just a little bit very gently, just to make sure that they are fully open. Sometimes they come in so tight, that they need to be fluffed out a little bit so that they are full and add lots of color. Then we're going to add some of our white pawns. These will add a nice contrast. And I try to work symetrical and just go around the bowl, and add them in the same place that I've added all ready. And go around the bowl and add flowers."
