This sweet floral centerpiece is a great way to incorporate seasonal produce into your wedding!

Flower Recipe + Supplies:

2 Peaches

2 Large Bearded Irises

3 Stems of Chervil or Queen Anne’s Lace

1 Stem of Phlox

2 Stems of Dusty Miller

3 Peonies (2 budded and one in bloom)

3 Stems of Alchemilla

White Ceramic Bowl

If you want to adjust the recipe for other flowers: use one large focal flower, 7 stems of filler flowers, 2 pieces of fruit, 2 secondary flowers and 3 stems of greenery.

Directions:

Step One. Remove leaves from the lower half of the stems. Trim the stems short and set the excess aside.

Step Two. Take two extra stems that you have from trimming the flowers short. Poke them into the peaches and place them aside.

Step Three. Fill your bowl with water and add the two irises and some alchemilla, phlox, and dusty miller. Arrange them together in your hand so they are all the same height, trimming if necessary. Place them in one side the bowl, bunched together, making sure the blossoms rest on the edge of the bowl.

Step Four. Add the large peony and the peaches.

Step Five. Fill in with the chervil, greens, and filler flowers.

Step Six. Keep in a cool place until ready for use. Check the water periodically.
