DIY floral wreath centerpiece

[kimbyj]

Did anyone make their own wreaths for a centerpiece?

My brother's wedding on a yacht is fast approaching and they have not gotten their flowers yet. The caterer requires use of small oil lamps bolted to the tables so really the only way to have flowers is with some type of wreath. I can find round floral foam but not anything to put it in to hold the water. Any suggestions of where I can get this?

Thanks

What about getting a bunch of small vases that could hold separate arrangements to be placed around the oil lamps. The only other thing I can think of is soaking the floral foam then covering it with something waterproof (or as close to waterproof as you can get). I think it will be hard finding donut shaped vases/bowls to hold the foam.

I'm not sure I fully get what you're looking for, but does this help?

That foam just posted should work great. It should not leak badly like it might if you just put the ring on the table.

Depending on the time of year of the wedding, you could also do grapevine wreaths and decorate with ribbons and flowers.

Here are some diy directions:

Do they have to have live flowers? Silk flowers would be equally beautiful and might be less of a headache.

Thanks for the responses. I checked out Afloral.com and they seem to be what we need.

My brother def. wants a live floral wreath so hopefully this will work!
