How To Make a DIY Monogram Floral Centerpiece

Step 1: Cut into the letters

Start by taking your X-ACTO knife and cut into the front of your first letter where the side and top seam meet.

Steadily continue to cut along your letter’s top front seam, leaving the back and sides of your letter intact.

FAQs

How long will my floral centerpiece last?

If you’re using fresh flowers, your centerpiece will last for several days if properly cared for. If you’re using silk flowers, your centerpiece will last for years.

How far in advance can I make my floral centerpiece?

If you’re using fresh flowers, it’s best to make your centerpiece no more than one day in advance. If you’re using silk flowers, you can make your centerpiece as far in advance as you like.

Can I customize the colors of my floral centerpiece?

Yes, you can customize the colors of your floral centerpiece to match your event. Use flowers in different shades of the same color, or mix and match complementary colors.

How do I care for my floral centerpiece?

If you’re using fresh flowers, be sure to keep them hydrated by adding water to the floral foam regularly. Keep the centerpiece out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. If you’re using silk flowers, you can simply dust them off with a soft cloth.
