Ingredients:

30 stems of Parrott Tulips:  Note: (I used parrot tulips but you can use whatever tulips you love) tulips come 10 stems to a pack, so depending on how small or big you want the centerpiece, buy the amount of tulips that will give you the look you are trying to achieve

Compote Bowl (you can use any cute bowl around the house, be creative as you want or keep it simple)

Scissors and Tape

Instructions:

1.     Fill the bowl with water
2.     Make a grid with the tape
3.     After cleaning the stems, cut off ½ inch
4.     Start placing the stems in between the grids until they top is completely filled

5.     There you have it…just that simple!!

An easy DIY for centerpieces, takes about 20 minutes to make. This arrangement would be perfect for your reception centerpieces or entertaining at home.  After I made the arrangement, I show it with the table set and you can place a single stem tulip on the plate or on the napkin, and to accent the table, I placed stems of tulips in smaller vessels. 

I wanted to show you different ways to incorporate the flowers and bring lovely ideas to enhance the big day!  I choose the orange parrot tulips to bring a “pop” of color to the table!
