Posted by Betty Miller on December 28th, 2019

Gerbera daisies are great for creating beautiful table centrepieces. These flowers can be used alone or in combination with some other varieties to create attractive centrepieces that augment the charm of your meal. In this article, we will have a look at some simple steps that will help you create a centrepiece with gerbera daisies. Let’s begin.

Materials Needed

All that you need to get started includes:
  • Flower clippers
  • A vessel of your choice, preferably low and wide
  • Plenty of greens, a mix of two three types of leaves and foliage is recommended
  • Other textured flowers, as per your choice

You can opt for online flower delivery to your desired location for a hassle-free experience.

Step 1: Choose a Vessel

The shape of the vessel you choose is very important as that will determine how your centrepiece arrangement will come out. If you go for a tall vessel with a long and narrow neck, then your arrangement will look very wild, and spilling all over. Thus, for beginners, it is advisable to choose a simple, low and wide vessel that looks well-composed.

Step 2: Make a Base

To create a base, you need to insert your green fillers such as olive branches, umbrella ferns or bay leaves in a circular pattern. A lot of people prefer using flower foam to hold the arrangement. However, because it is not an eco-friendly option, we suggest otherwise.
Try to use the stems to create a structure that serves as the base. Also, these techniques impart a natural look to the arrangement. Make sure that there is no negative space in the vessel. If there is, ill it with additional greens before heading to the next step.

Step 3: Add textured flowers

Once you are done with the base, it’s time to add some textured flowers that serve as the perfect middle ground. Use different textured flowers of varying lengths to make the arrangement look more clean.

Step 4: Time to Add Gerbera Daisies

Finally, its time to add the ever-gorgeous gerbera daisies to your centrepiece. Begin with placing the flowers as low and close to your vessel as possible. Once you have created one circular pattern, you got to proceed with the longer stems. You can make it an asymmetrical composition as per your liking. Sometimes, a few long stems in the middle of shorter ones create a charming silhouette. So keep on experimenting with the arrangement till you feel that every bloom is in the right place.

Step 5: Make the Final Changes

Take some time to carefully check out your arrangement. You can enhance or balance your centrepiece by adding or removing some greens, or altering the position of certain flowers. You can make sure that the flowers are not too tightly squeezed in. bring some stems back or forth to see which angle looks the best. These minor tweaks can sometimes cause major difference in the overall look.

Step 6: Presentation

Now that you have created a beautiful centrepiece with gerbera daisies, its time to present in to the people who visit you. Place the centrepiece on your dining table and arrange other necessary embellishments around it to give it a complete look. You can also send gerbera centrepiece to your loved ones on any of their special occasions.Read more...https://www.pickupflowers.com/flower-guide/how-to-create-centrepiece-with-gerbera-daisies
