How to Make a Floral Center Piece With a Photo

A floral centerpiece with a photo is more decorative and personal for tables at a wedding reception than a typical metal clip with a large table number sticking out of it. This centerpiece will allow the wedding guests to figure out the assigned seating, while adding a personal touch to everyones dining experience. This centerpiece will also be low on the table so it wont interfere with conversations between guests.

Instructions

1

Take pictures of the couple together holding a piece of paper with the table number on it. To make it a little more personal, the couple can have pictures taken of themselves holding a favorite item or doing a favorite activity. For example, if the couples favorite activity is bowling, they can have a picture taken of them holding their bowling balls. That table with the bowling picture would be known as "the bowling table."

2

When the pictures are developed and enlarged into 5 x 7-inch photos, use the two-sided tape to attach the photos back-to-back. This will allow the guest on either side of the table to see the photo.

3

Insert the large paper clip half way into the top center of the floral foam so that the double loop end of the paper clip is sticking up.

4

Cut the stems of the flowers 1 inch down from the base of the flower. It is best to choose flowers with open blossoms so that the petals will overlap a little.

5

Start at the paper clip and insert the flowers into the floral foam, moving in a circular pattern around the paper clip. Make sure the flowers are close enough so that the foam is not visible. Continue this to the base of the floral foam.

6

Insert the back-to-back photo into the paper clip at the top of the floral foam. The picture should look like it is sitting in the flowers.
