Figs and Vines Centerpiece

Centerpieces don't have to be perfectly balanced and precisely composed. There's beauty in letting flowers and vines be their riotous, sprawling selves.

 

For these groupings of trailing sweet autumn clematis, passionflower vines, and figs, a row of cake stands and pedestal candleholders shielded by hurricane glasses lets the greenery flow.

Tools and Materials

  • Flowering clematis and passionflower vines
  • Fresh figs
  • Ramekin (3 1/2 inches in diameter) for the base 
  • Ceramic cake stand (10 inches in diameter) for the base
  • Floral wax
  • Floral frog

Figs and Vines Centerpiece How-To

1. Using a dime-size ball of floral wax, attach a floral flog to the inside of the ramekin.

2. Using a pinch of floral wax, secure the bottom of the ramekin to the cake stand.

3. Fill ramekin with water, and insert small, flowering clematis and passionflower vines (2 to 3 of each) into frog. Wrap 1 or 2 vines around the ramekin to conceal it, and let the others trail off the stand.

4. Place fresh figs around the periphery.
