Quick flower tricks

Your guests will love these quirky flower arrangements that take only a few minutes to create.

Floral Spiral
Create a striking floral feature for each table setting using long-stemmed flowers and round drinking glasses. Spiral the stem of a single bloom around the inside of a glass and fill with water. Tie a simple place card to a piece of thick thread and lay it over the glass.

Red cabbage and roses
Have you always thought that cabbage is only for eating? Trim the stems off a few firm, good-sized red cabbages so that they stand securely. Cut a hole in the top of each one, hollow out slightly and fill with a piece of Oasis, which has been saturated with water. Add a few rosebuds and fern leaves and display in little boxes or place directly on the table.

Good idea
Soften harder stems by pressing lightly with your fingers, taking care not to bruise or damage the stem.
