Elegant Wedding Reception Centerpieces
Elegant wedding reception centerpieces may look difficult, but don't let the thought of it scare you off from making your own flowers. Use the right florist supplies and you'll find homemade centerpieces are easier than you think.
Just cut your OASIS® Floral Foam Bricks into thirds and fit into the container.
It gets even easier if you start with the bowls that already have the foam gridded into place. Just soak the bowl in water treated with flower food and get to designing! 
Although you can buy special votive glassware to use in centerpieces, I generally buy matching glasses at a discount or dollar store. 
Tape the stem closest to the bottom of the glass with packing or duct tape. Put on a pair of safety goggles and gently break the bottom of the stemware off with a light hammer. Be sure to wrap the bottom edge of the broken glass with tape so no rough edges are exposed. Sink the voltive stems deeply into the wet oasis. Now you have beautiful voltives that don't cost and arm and a leg! Green in the wet oasis with leather leaf fern or other greenery. Be sure to spray the greenery (before flowering) with a leafshine product to keep the leaves from getting a white, splotchy look.
Keep remisting with Crowning Glory each day to keep the flower heads hydrated. Fill the votives with water and add floating candles. You can see by the photos below that the same centerpiece can take on many different looks - even when you use cheap wedding flowers!
