Tropical Flair
For a dynamic centerpiece with an imaginative twist, turn to the season’s bounty of produce, which can do double duty as fresh fare and creative containers.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- To form the base of this arrangement, hollow out a pineapple or any sturdy fruit, using a sharp knife, and then insert a cup of water or wet floral foam.
- Next, fill the fruit-turned-vase with a lively mix of blooms, such as ‘Coral Charm’ peonies, purple lisianthus, orange dahlias, blue veronica, gomphrena, and oakleaf hydrangea, as well as some verdant inclusions like explosion grass and fern.
- To complete the presentation, set the display on a simple woven serving tray, and surround it with a few lemons to add a final note of summer sunshine.
