Step-by-Step Artificial Flower Vase Decorations

If you're planning a holiday or event centerpiece on a budget, or want to create a long-lasting display, use artificial flowers rather than real blooms. Choose high-quality silk flowers that look realistic to create elegant table decor. You can customize the artificial flower arrangement to coordinate with event color scheme, decor theme or holiday. Vases are available in a wide variety of materials, such as ceramic and glass, as well as a wide array of colors. Pick a vase that matches the type of artificial flowers you are using to create a cohesive look.

Instructions

- 1
  Acquire the type of artificial flowers you want to use in the decoration. Pick realistic-looking faux flowers to coordinate with the overall decor style or a space or table, such as orchids for a tropical theme, or red roses to create an aura of romance.
- 2
  Obtain the flower vase of your choice for your floral arrangement. Choose a small, medium or large vase depending on the desired size of the decoration. Select a vintage porcelain vase for an elegant look, a shiny silver vessel to create a modern style, or a hand-painted ceramic vase for an artistic vibe.
- 3
  Cut a piece of florist's foam to fit the bottom of the vase using a craft knife. Place the cut-to-fit piece of foam into the vase.
- 4
  Insert the faux flowers into the vase, pushing the stems into the foam to create a secure fit. Arrange the flower stems according to height or color.
- 5
  Add decorative elements to the vase. Accent the flower arrangement with sprigs of artificial baby's breath for a fresh look. Decorate a birthday party table arrangement with a festive balloon on a stick. Create an eclectic look by adding curly willow branches or thin bamboo stalks to the arrangement.
