unity candle wreath
A unity candle wreath encircles your candle with fresh flowers, making it a lovely addition to both your wedding ceremony decorations and photos.
You change either the colors or flower varieties to make the wreath in your own color palette. For this design, the following products were used:
- 1 Oval Mache Oasis Wreath
- 6 - 7 stems of miniature carnations
- 12 stems standard roses
- 3 stems hypericum berries
- 5 stems leather leaf fern
- 2 stems salal leaf
- 2 stems boxwood
- 2 stems seeded eucalyptus
- Floralock Stem Adhesive
- Finishing Touch Flower Sealant
- Pillar Candle (your choice of colors)
- Floral Clay
- Optional:
- Approximately 5 yards flowing fabric
- 1 oval lace tablecloth
You can easily adapt this tutorial by achieving the same look - but substituting other flower varieties. Good substitutes would be standard carnations, freesia, tulips and Gerbera daisies plus any type of filler flowers including baby's breath, wax flower, asters and limonium.
The wreath can be either oval or round - or even a smaller size by using Oasis rings instead of wreath forms.
As always, the first step to good flower design is to order your flowers from a reputable source and then process them correctly before using them.
