Vases on a Tray Centerpiece

Set posies into tiny vases

More for Spring: • NEXT Project

Like the previous arrangement this centerpieces uses a similar technique.

A collection of similar vases and containers is collected onto a beautiful silver tray. Each container is filled with one, two, or three rosebuds.

Vary the height of the vases for more interest. Here we've chosen bud vases, goblets, silver candlesticks, and tiny creamers to hold our beautiful blooms.

Vases on a Tray Arrangement

• 12 roses or other flower
• 7-12 small containers
• silver tray (optional)

Fill each container with water, about 3/4 full.

Hold rose next to the container to measure for height, then clip the stem so that the base of the rose sits on the lip of the vase, as shown here.

Set each container on a tray, with the tallest at the back and the shortest around the sides.

Tip: Top off the water in the vases once or twice a day so roses stay fresh.
