Rose Centerpiece

Our rose layer centerpiece is one of our absolute favorites. Not only is it colorful and beautiful it looks so real the people are afraid to touch it in fear of harming the fresh flowers. It looks so real that your guests will actually admire it from a far!

You will need 24 roses, you can make any color you want even 24 different colors if you would like or you could make 12 of two different colors or shades of a color and you can also make three different colors. That is the nice part about this centerpiece you make whatever colors you want and it will look beautiful regardless.

You will need a medium to large vase. Fill the bottom of the vase with multi-colored gems or you can use the colors you are using for the paper roses. These gems you can pick up at any craft store or dollar store.

Place your roses in the vase. If you used two or more colors alternate them so no two colors are next to one another. You can also make eight roses choice a dominate color – white works well or if your centerpiece is made up of three shades of pink use the darkest color pink in the center, make the stems on these flowers slightly longer so they will stand out in the centerpiece. You can finish it off with a bow, hand tied ribbon or lace. You do not need to add any of the above as the centerpiece is so beautiful by its self the added touch may very well go unnoticed all together.
