Fill a platter for an impressive table decoration.
Note: Ripening fruit can cause fresh flowers to wilt so be sure to add flowers only an hour or so before your party.
|
Materials Needed
- Platter
- Lemons, artichokes
- Flowers: 6 roses, 6 sunflowers, 6 mums, or the flowers of your choice
- Leather fern or other greenery
|
|
 |
Artichokes
Begin with a base of artichokes. These are small, about the same size as the lemons.
|
 |
Lemons
Add lemons and top with a few more artichokes.
|
 |
Leather Fern
Edge the platter with several sprigs of leather fern or other greenery.
|
|
Add Flowers
Add about 18 flowers set low in between lemons and artichokes. Stems should be about 3" long.
Tip: Most flowers will last a few hours out of water. Or, use florist water tubes, if desired, to keep flowers fresh for a few days.
