How to create Ostrich Feather Centerpieces

How to create ostrich feather centerpieces using feathers, Eiffel tower glass vases, floralytes (standard size disposable ones fit in the Eiffel tower vases), Oasis straight handle Wedding Belle bouquet holders and centerpiece table mirrors.

Start by placing the feathers along the bottom edge of the floral foam in the bouquet holder.

You want to work your way around the bouquet holder bottom and place feathers around the bottom of it. Use the shorter (less expensive) drabs (not plumes) for most of the arrangement, if you can. The drabs will give you fullness. Use the plumes for the top or wherever you want the feathers to be longer.

The Maestro or Eiffel tower glass vases and the fluted trumpet vases are weighted so they will hold your arrangement in place.

See all the tall vases.

Make your feather arrangements a few days before the event so the feathers have time to relax and get the proper shape.

The day of the event. Lift the bouquet holder out of the vase and place your floralytes in the vase. Then fill the vase with crystal fibers or Colorfill vase filler , or vase gems to help the light illuminate it and hide the tiny lights. You can also use a vase light to illuminate the vase from the bottom up. The strongest one is the 10" with 40 LED lights . Also try placing some floralights in the feathers themselves for extra accent light.

You will need 15-30 ostrich feathers per arrangement. 40 if you want it extra full. The longest feathers should be plumes not spades. Spades are shorter with a thicker center quill. You want the side feathers to flow downward.

Drabs work great for filler and are cheaper than the plumes. The plumes are the same size but bend slightly at the top.

Optional: Add some small vase gems or vase filler to the vase.

Floralytes (use the standard size) recommended per vase:

16" Eiffel Tower vase-2 foralytes

20” Eiffel tower vase - 2 Floralytes per vase

24” Eiffel Tower Vase- 2 Floralytes per vase

28” Eiffel Tower Vase – 3 Floralytes per vase

31” Eiffel Tower Vase – 3 Floralytes per vase
