We all know that there’s nothing like fresh flowers to brighten up a room but, sometimes the family budget simply won’t allow for weekly purchases of fresh blooms. That’s when we turn to the fakes for a flower fix.
I started with this cute metal garden accessory that I found at Dollarama.
Cut a square of floral foam to fit in the bottom of the wheelbarrow and select your flowers. You will need four large blooms and one small spray with spiky grass to complete the look.
Trim the large flower stems so that, when inserted into the floral foam, the heads sit just above the top of the wheelbarrow. The decorative floral spray should sit a few inches above the top of the wheelbarrow.
I chose to work with only two main colours in order to simplify things; in this case white and pink, and alternated the two colours, placing them on the ends and sides of the wheelbarrow. The floral spray has the same white and pink in it and goes directly into the center of the floral foam to give the arrangement height.
Insert bits of leaf stems in the corners of the wheelbarrow where you may notice gaps. If you so choose, clip a colourful little bird onto one of the wheelbarrow handles.
Park your new centerpiece on the coffee table or dining room table where it can be enjoyed all summer long.
