The best thing about February has to be the promise of Spring and the gorgeous Spring bulbs and florals that await. If you’re planning Spring nuptials and are looking for DIY ideas, then look no further than this super sweet daffodil topiary centrepiece. So simple and also long lasting, perfect as wedding gifts or even as a part of your Easter dinner table if you haven’t got a wedding to plan this Spring.

‘Early Hours’ – cockney rhyming slang for flowers – the London based studio for innovative and magical floral designs.  Her show-stopping creations have made Lizzie Powell (owner of Early Hours London Ltd) the go-to florist for some of London’s most stylish destinations and couples.  We’re thrilled to have her share a special Spring wedding flower tutorial with us today.

 

Ingredients

 

50 x daffodils

Cellotape

Selection of coloured ribbon

Pins

Jam jar/small vase

Fine gravel/ sand

 

Step One

 

Start by making the topiary shape by placing the daffodil stems together and parallel next to each other. Start in the centre and work around in a circle to create a nice dome shape, while holding the stem just below the flower heads.

 

Step Two

 

Once the dome is complete use cellotape to bind the stems together at the base of the flower heads. This helps keep the lovely dome shape.

 

Step Three

 

Cover the cellotape with decorative ribbons. Start at the top underneath the flower heads and work downwards to the middle of the stem. Use pins to secure.

 

Step Four

 

Cut the stems down so that they are all level then stand the topiary in centre of the jam jar.

 

 

Step Five

 

While holding the topiary pour the gravel or sand into the jar, which will hold and secure the flowers in place.

 

Step Six

 

Top up with water to keep the flowers fresh and lovely.
