How To Make A Winter Floral Candle Design

[@thaobenn6339]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video. I was thinking of a candle with some leaves for a formal dinner, but I have now found one of the best arrangements. 👍👏

@@thaobenn6339 thank you 😊🌼🌼🌼

[@Rosemary-p2k]

Thank you..a great idea. I was given a floral foam ring too some time ago and was wondering how to use it without it looking like a funeral tribute.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@Rosemary-p2k thank you! If you make the base of foliage more ‘messy’ as well the. It also looks less like a funeral tribute - but that depends on if there is room!

[@arlenekarnes4610]

Really nice! I was ready for something a little bit Christmas-y! All the winter greenery is so nice.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@arlenekarnes4610 Thank you! Yes, we are on the cusp of full on Christmas! 🎄

[@byvike]

I love it John! Not just looking as a festive seasonal arrangement but also smell of it, too.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@byvike it does smell nice 👌 foliage and herbs!

[@juliecarone9027]

Beautiful, but we now need a tutorial on how to preserve roses!!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@juliecarone9027 😊 that is an Idea 😀

[@alisonprince4438]

Loving all green herbs and foliages.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@alisonprince4438 😊 thank you

[@giselahalasz787]

I really love this arrangement, wreaths don't necessarily only have to be for funerals. It looked great even before you added the flowers with just the candle, very xmaslike. Thankyou for your great ideas.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@giselahalasz787 thank you! I would be happy with just the foliage mix as well!

[@karenbartnett8312]

Very nice John ❤

@@karenbartnett8312 thank you 🤩

[@NannetteCollins]

Love the black thing that go around 😄😄

[@FlowerJoos]

@ just a turntable - there is a version in IKEA, in light wood

[@kathryngalajda3553]

Gosh it’s been a few years since I did a centrepiece for Christmas. I’ve now been inspired! Thanks John heart❤

[@FlowerJoos]

@@kathryngalajda3553 it’s fun! And a unit like this is easy to move if needed.

[@stepps511]

Wonderful design, John! I love everything about this and, with you, find carnations among the more versatile and colorful of flowers. The rosehips are beautiful, too. The pink works so well with the winter greens and I'm always in favor of including herbs for contrast and fragrance. Hope you are doing well, Friend.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@stepps511 thank you so much! I am good thanks - starting to feel Christmassy - it’s near but not quite here yet! Hope you are well - we have had a week of cold weather non stop, so I think that put me in a wintery mood! Enjoy your week!

[@michelleedwards634]

Very pretty ❤

[@FlowerJoos]

@@michelleedwards634 thank you! 🎄

[@seventiesmom8045]

Omg, I so enjoyed this, John. You always hit us with a bit of a surprise addition - I would never have thought to combine those pink flowers with the darkish-red berries - it's stunning. I love being reminded, too, of adding in a few herbs. And of course the wonderful diverse greens make a fantastic base to build upon. It's like my soul smiles when I see your creations!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@seventiesmom8045 thank you so much! Pink with red makes a good combination I think. And you wouldn’t expect it in a winter table design 😀 keep smiling ( I loved that phrase to used ) 🌸

[@Borderlass-365]

Really nice. I like that it’s Christmasy but not the traditional red and gold colour scheme

[@FlowerJoos]

@@Borderlass-365 thank you 😊

[@conversecone9687]

This is such a great idea to carry us into the Christmas Season! I love it! It added such a look of richness to the design when you integrated the red berries in with those shades of pink!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@conversecone9687 😊 thank you - these are quite delicate as well in size which makes a nice contrast

[@phylliscraine]

Oh I so want to make this! I did learn years ago from a stylist who recommended lighting the candle and the blowing it out right away - because the wicks look much more natural and prettier if they have been lit. So I always go that with candles now when I set them out ☺

[@FlowerJoos]

@@phylliscraine that’s a good suggestion - also cutting them shorter before you light them reduces smoke . Sometimes the wick end is quite long and this isn’t needed.

[@carolynangel4340]

You're so talented and the arrangement is beautiful! This is inspiring me to make something similar in silk for my mantel. 🙂

[@FlowerJoos]

@@carolynangel4340 that is a good idea- you can combine fresh foliage with faux flowers and decor as well. Mantlepieces should be decorated I think!

[@lynnemcnab3093]

I do love the foliage! The flowers were almost unnecessary! How lovely to have roses though. At Christmastime, I use foliage and red and white roses to make a table centrepiece. I like the cedar and rosemary added in there too, so pretty and it has a variety of texture. So pretty. I guess if Christmas is already on the way, I better get wreathing and candleholdering! Thanks for the inspiration John! Just lovely. Smells good from here!

[@FlowerJoos]

@@lynnemcnab3093 😀 thank you! It does smell good - I love the scent of fresh cut foliage. I would be happy with no flowers and maybe just a few nice cones - natural is always nice, Christmas is definitely on its way!

[@judithmontesdeocazerpa1266]

😍😍😍😍😍😍 The work is beautiful, it has other possibilities to add other Christmas elements.... the stars are very good. 😊🦢🌹 🎄👑👑👑

[@FlowerJoos]

@@judithmontesdeocazerpa1266 😊🌼🌼🌼🌼 Thank you! Yes, I think the wooden decor stars look good on the natural foliages. It’s possible to decorate this base with your favorite style - from natural to full sparkle! ✨ Have a great week! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Beautiful! Please more info on preserving roses! Christmas arrangements just make the holiday complete thank you 🙏

[@FlowerJoos]

@@Zeppylvr thank you! I have to say these were bought like this - already preserved. And I have used them a few times so it’s quite a good way to get the look and have them on hand if needed.

[@FlowerJoos]

@@deenab6476 thank you! How about this idea first a gift - can be tied or in foam, but choose a nice mug as the long term part of the gift. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoa1gKuMmruUgNUsi=vUdTpfT__ShqBXQS 😊

[@FlowerJoos]

@@giselahalasz787 thank you so much. I remember an American bride I helped in Scotland used wreaths throughout her decor - they are rings of flowers, and they looked amazing. But some people still saw them as wreaths 🤪
