rose & lily altar decorations
These altar decorations are made up of a combination of black roses and red gloriosa lilies. To create a similar look, you'll need the following products and fresh flowers:
- 8" Flared Vase
- 3 cup Stainless Flat Bottom Dish
- White Florist Clay
- 1/2 Brick of Florist Foam
- Waterproof Tape
- 10 stems Gloriosa Lilies
- 3 Stems bupleurum
- 13 Black Roses
- 13 Dark Red Roses
- 14 Bright Red roses
- 2 stems huckleberry
- 10 stems Lily Grass
- 6 stems Bear Grass
- Crystal Clear Flower Food
- Floralock Stem Adhesive
- Finishing Touch or Crowning Glory Flower Sealant
Soak the florist foam in water that has been treated with Crystal Clear Flower Food. Place the foam tightly in the silver container, taping into place with waterproof tape. You will not place the arrangement on top of the glass vase until it is delivered to the church. Then rim the top of the glass vase with the florist clay and pick up the flower arrangement. Drape the Lily Grass and Bear Grass in attractive coils as shown in the photo inside the clear vase. Center the entire arrangement over the top of the vase and press down firmly until the clay is fitting the silver container tightly to the vase.
After designing, lock stems securely into the florist foam with Floralock Stem Adhesive. Mist well with either Finishing Touch or Crowning Glory. Do not allow foam to go dry before wedding day. Mist again before delivery. Remember to deliver vase and arrangement separately.
