Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Build the Frame

Set up a PVC pipe frame or use a freestanding backdrop stand. A 2m x 2m frame works well for most events.

2

Attach the Base Layer

Wrap the frame with greenery garlands using zip ties or floral wire. Cover the entire frame for a lush base.

3

Add Feature Flowers

Attach your largest artificial flowers first, spacing them evenly. Use hot glue or floral wire to secure.

4

Fill with Medium Blooms

Add medium-sized flowers around the feature blooms, creating clusters for a natural look.

5

Add Small Details

Tuck in smaller filler flowers, baby's breath, and extra greenery to eliminate any bare spots.

6

Final Adjustments

Step back and assess. Adjust any flowers that look uneven and add trailing greenery at the bottom.

Safety Notes

Ensure the frame is stable and secure before adding flowers. Use caution with wire cutters.

Waste & Recycling Tips

Artificial flowers can be reused for future events. Store flat in a cool, dry place.
