How Many Flowers Are Required for a Wildflower Centerpiece

What Are Wildflowers?

Wildflowers are the flowers you can easily find in your backyard or lawn. Wildflowers are made for your free-spirited soul if you’re a woodland nymph or a boho girl. Wildflowers are not confined to Queen Anne’s lace, thistles, daisies, spray roses, etc.

You can also go for linden flower, echinacea, and primrose.

Instead of flat leaves, go for greens like eucalyptus, herbs, grass, wild ferns, etc.

The best thing about using wild flower centerpieces is adding as many flowers as you want and colors matching your wedding theme.

What you need:

1. Centerpiece (of your choice)
2. Selected wildflowers- 6-7 large wildflowers with 2-3 sprigs/ twigs
3. Flower stem wrapping tape
4. Sharp scissors

Instructions:

1. Put out your plants, and arrange them according to their colors and size. Cut any extra greens near the stems and arrange them.
2. Once laid out, arrange the flowers one by one. First, display a layer of bigger blooms, then bind them with wrapping tape. Now add extra blooms and greens outside the wrapped flowers. Keep adding until you get your perfect size.
3. Now trim the stems, ensure they’re all equal lengths and do not cut them too short before displaying them in the centerpiece.
4. Place the wildflowers inside the centerpiece. And voila, you’re all done with your perfect wildflower centerpiece.

End Note

You can use red roses, sunflowers, artificial blooms, or free-of-cost wildflowers for your wild flower centerpieces.
