DIY Floral arrangement with pink peonies on a mirror centerpiece
Dip your toes in the world of DIY flower arrangements. Not sure where to start? In this tutorial you’ll learn how to make a DIY Floral arrangement with pink peonies on a mirror centerpiece. This floral arrangement is perfect for beginners because it utilizes one of my favorite visual tricks to make DIY centerpieces look expensive.
The trick is to use a mirror, like an antique vanity tray, to ground your centerpiece while making it appear larger.
DIY Floral arrangement with pink peonies on a mirror centerpiece
Materials
- Small glass vase
- Mirror serving tray
- Small white flowers (like the Magnolia flowers in this tutorial)
- Daffodils (or make your floral arrangement with hydrangeas)
- Pink peonies
- Pink garden roses
Floral arrangement tips
- Before cutting the flowers, hold stems next to the vase to determine the length.
- Add small white flowers first.
- Add peonies and daffodils, dangling flowers over one side to make it asymmetrical.
- Add a few wild, unexpected shoots of stems, buds or leaves.
I found this mirror vanity tray at Homegoods. Don’t have a tray? Make one! Here’s a handful of DIY mirror trays on Pinterest for inspiration.
