Submerged Flower Centerpieces are a gorgeous and easy arrangement for any DIY bride. Real touch artificial flowers and leafs are a great way to create lasting, affordable arrangements.
Gather together your materials. You will need 3 clear glass cylinder vases, 3 floating candles, 3 submersible LED lights, vase filler, and a variety of artificial tropical flowers from Afloral.com.
Step 1: Fill the bottoms of each glass vase with approximately 2-3” of vase filler.
Step 2: Turn on the LED Floralytes and push them into the vase filler.
Step 3: Use more vase filler to cover the candle base, but leave the light bare.
Step 4: Use the wire cutters to clip the stems from the leaves.
Step 5: Bend the wire leaves into a circle and place in the vase.
- The Artificial Bamboo Leaf Spray goes into the smallest vase
- The Philodendron Leaf goes into the medium size vase
- The Banana Leaf goes into the largest vase.
Step 6: Use wire cutters to cut a Phalaenopsis flower head from the stems and put into the medium size vase above the leaf.
Step 7: Fill all three vases with water, leaving enough room at the top for a floating candle (approximately 4”)
Tip: Arrange the centerpiece on large tropical leaves in the center of the table before you add the water. Once the water is added the arrangement becomes very heavy.
Step 8: Arrange the remaining Orchids and the Ginger spray in the largest vase. Add the hanging Bamboo stem to the largest vase and drape the Bamboo over the side.
Step 9: Place the floating candles in the smaller of the three vases and light.
Use the remaining Orchid flower heads to decorate the table. This arrangement will add romantic lighting for your guest’s tables and looks beautiful with any real touch flower you pick!
