White Pumpkin Centerpiece
Try this beautiful, yet easy to make floral & white pumpkin centerpiece for your Autumn table. The soft hues bring gentle peace and warmth to the tablescape. I Hope you love this look as much as I do!
Materials needed:
- one Medium size white Pumpkin
- Block of oasis (soaked)
- Pan filled with water (and packet of flower food )
- Selection of floral and greenery
- Scissors or small pruning shears
Start by selecting a nice round, medium-size white pumpkin.
Cut oasis floral foam to fit your pumpkin size. In this case, 1/3 of a block should be perfect.
Add the trimmed oasis block to the prepared pan of water and let soak a few minutes.
Turn your block, and let it soak for a few more minutes until the whole block is well saturated.
Use a pencil to draw a few guide lines on your pumpkin. This helps keep you on track during cutting. The goal is to cut the pumpkin about 1/4 of the way down, in a nice even shape.
Using a shape knife, carefully begin cutting all the way around, using your lines as a guide. No need to rush. Take your time.
Remove the top and scoop out the seeds from the inside. A spoon works well.
Place the soaked block of oasis into the pumpkin.
Then begin adding your greenery all around the perimeter of the opening This creates a nice base for your arrangement.
After the base is complete, add in the larger flowers. In this arrangement I am using hydrangeas and roses. Be sure they are cut slightly taller than the base greenery.
Keep working in the flowers from largest to smallest. I love how the delicate cream colored roses sweetly accent the large hydrangeas.
tip: For a fuller shaped rose, gently pull open and fluff the petals before placing in your arrangement.
The finished arrangement.
So simple yet soooo lovely.
I hope you found this tutorial inspiring for your own Autumn table.
