Are you looking to add a touch of elegance and beauty to your fireplace mantel with flower arrangements? Look no further than a gorgeous faux white floral hydrangea arrangement! In this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll show you how to create a stunning arrangement that will be the centerpiece of your mantel all year round.
Inspired by a beautiful green hydrangea arrangement I saw on my favorite TV show, General Hospital, I decided to make my own version. Let’s dive into the simple steps I took to bring this arrangement to life.
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Base for Fireplace Mantel Flower Arrangements
For the foundation of your arrangement, repurpose a concrete urn or any sturdy container you have on hand. I used the base from my pedestal Christmas trees, which worked perfectly. The size should be proportionate to your mantel space.
Step 2: Add Support with Craft Chicken Wire for Fireplace Mantel Arrangements
To hold the hydrangeas securely in place, create a support structure using craft chicken wire. Cut a piece of wire to fit the top opening of your urn and shape it into a shallow dome. This will provide stability for your arrangement.
Step 3: Conceal the Wire with Spanish Moss for Floral Mantel Arrangements
To hide the wire and give you floral mantel arrangements a natural touch, cover the top of the wire with a layer of Spanish moss. This fluffy material will seamlessly blend with the hydrangeas and create a soft base.
Step 4: Insert the Faux Hydrangeas
Take your large faux hydrangea stems and insert them into the chicken wire at varying heights. This will add depth and visual interest to your arrangement. Remember to fluff the hydrangea petals for a fuller and more realistic look.
Step 5: Enhance with Magnolia Leaf Stems
To complement the hydrangeas, add some magnolia leaf stems to fill in any gaps and provide a touch of greenery. These will beautifully complement the white hydrangeas and add a natural element to the arrangement.
Step 6: Create a Flat Back for Fireplace Mantel Flower Arrangements
Since your arrangement will sit on the fireplace mantel, ensure the back is flat. Trim any excess stems or leaves that may obstruct the placement.
Step 7: Style and Decorate Fireplace Mantel with Faux White Hydrangea Arrangement
Now it’s time to showcase your stunning creation on your mantel! The white hydrangeas will stand out beautifully against dark wooden paneling. Enhance the overall look by adding complementary elements such as candles, artwork, and decorative items like a large owl or stack of old books.
Remember, mantel arrangements aren’t just for Christmas. With its timeless appeal, it’s perfect for both spring and summer. Enjoy the beauty and freshness it brings to your home throughout the year.
By following these simple steps, you can create a captivating faux white floral hydrangea arrangement that will elevate the aesthetic of your fireplace mantel. Let your creativity flourish as you customize the arrangement to suit your style and preferences. Enjoy the beauty and compliments that this eye-catching centerpiece will surely bring!
