July Floral Recipe- Milk glass centerpiece

Attention all inspired DIY persons! We thought it would be fun to post a floral recipe of a quaint garden centerpiece.  Since we sell flowers in bulk we get lots of questions on how many flowers they may need. Many people grossly underestimate the amount of flowers needed to obtain their decorating aspirations.  Here you go!

*Note- We are not a trained professionals so we highly suggest you try this at home!

This is a 4"x4" milk glass vessel in which I used floral foam as a base.

Flowers used:
2 dahlias
1 flowering dill
2 giant sedum
1 apricot nasturium
1 wild poke weed (free from a hedge! )
2 celiosa (one pink, one yellow)
10 assorted zinnia
1 apricot strawflower

A total of 20 stems.  If you budget approximately $.80/stem, (remember I scavenged one!), then the floral cost to this centerpiece is around $17. Add in your container (thrifted for $.50) and your foam and you could be enjoying this at your next event!
