Step-by-step DIY floral and candle centerpiece tutorial
- Add candle to candle holder
- Add candle to center of bowl/vessel
- Put on your tape grid. Add tape strips from the top to bottom of the bowl and from side to side. A tape grid will look like a checkerboard (see video). Your tape grid should secure your candle holder in place
- Add in your water
- Start adding in your flowers. I like to add with my draped eucalyptus along the edges. Then add in your hydrangea. End with your roses or “focal flower”
- Make sure that the tape grid is covered up and add flowers accordingly

FAQs
Yes! I added it to the bowl after adding the candle to the center
It should last the same amount of time as a regular flower arrangement. Make sure that all of the flower stems are in the water
Absolutely! Choose whichever flowers work for you! You could also use faux instead of fresh flowers.
Additional Tips
- Select flowers that “drape” over the sides. I opted for Eucalyptus
- Make sure that your bowl/vessel can hold water!
- Choose a candle holder that is tall enough where it won’t catch the flowers on fire
- The tape grid is key! If it’s not holding the candle, add more rows of tape
