FLORAL HOW-TO WEEK | CB x Fifty Flowers: Peony + Greenery Tablescape Tutorial

It's Floral How-To Week on CB (where I'm sharing a week's worth of floral tutorials, tips, tricks + more thanks to FiftyFlowers.com who partnered up with me and provided some truly beautiful blooms!). Today, I'm sharing a few floral arrangements for a tablescape - I used white peonies and dark green textured filler flower pack for this project.

STEP ONE | Decide on the vessels you're going to use for your tablescape. I decided to style the arrangements in three of my French enamel buckets and then transfer the arrangements to my French champs buckets on the table (to show two different looks). Both containers have a rustic charm that lends well to a farmhouse chic vibe - I think these arrangements would look incredibly romantic for an upscale barn wedding or for an intimate garden soiree!

STEP TWO | Now you need to decide on spacing. It's important not to make the arrangements too tall or too close together as that could impede conversation at the table - you definitely want to be able to see those sitting across from you. ;) With this tablescape, I placed the medium-high containers closer to the middle of the table as guests would be sitting closer to the ends:

THE HOW-TO | As far as how I arranged the flowers, it's called the very technical "plop and tousle." I first chose which flowers/greenery I wanted to include (peonies, white delphinium, green statice, green limonium and white bouvardia). I placed the largest blooms - the peonies - in first as they take up the most room. Then I plopped the greenery in - spacing it out in what felt like an organic way to me. Really, there's no science involved here - it's just what looks and feels right to you! Don't overthink it! It's just flowers and they're already beautiful so there really isn't any way to mess it up. Have fun with it!

 

And PS. Those super pretty enamel buckets are for sale! For info, just e-mail me at theclassicbride@gmail.com. I'll be placing them in my wedding boutique, CB Vintage, soon so get a pre-sale price by e-mailing me. ;) The champs buckets are also for sale so check them out if you're interested.
