Step 1: Create a structural base for your floral arrangement using wire netting.  Ball the netting and place it into the bowl of the vase. For added security you can create a tape grid to hold the netting in place.

Step 2: Start by adding the artificial greenery. Push the stems of the leaves through the holes in the netting.  Use a variety of lengths on each side of the arrangement to create an asymmetrical shape.

Step 3: Fill in your arrangement with the medium sized flowers; like dahlias, roses, and peony buds.

Step 4: When you are happy with how this looks, add the larger peonies and magnolias to fill in the center of the arrangement. You may stop now or continue adding unique stems for a rustic centerpiece. 

Step 5: Fill in your arrangement with small flower heads, berries, and cotton bolls to give your centerpiece a romantic country look. Mixing colors and texture gives your design an organic, wild look.

You now have a stunning silk flower centerpiece for your rustic chic wedding or to decorate your home. With fake flowers you can display your work without ever worrying about watering or wilting.
