Jeremiah and Kelsey's Rehearsal Dinner

I did the flowers for the rehearsal dinner of some friends of ours this past weekend. They held it New Year's Eve in a log cabin with a roaring fire, loads of candles, mercury glass, and white flowers - just gorgeous. The mother of the groom had the fantastic idea of birch "vases" with a ball of white flowers on top so that's what we did! And they turned out great!

I glued oasis foam on top (with oasis floral glue which is meant to hold up to water), and used eskimo roses, white hydrangea, white stock (so it smelled heavenly!), and seeded eucalyptus.

For a more permanent vase or longer lasting arrangement, you could hollow out the birch and insert a vase. (Just takes a fair bit more work!)
