Pears add a fresh and elegant twist to special event flowers. These would be gorgeous at a garden party or a formal dinner or gala.
- Urn, or other base
- Florist cone
- Variety of flowers to fill your cone size
- Small pears such as Forelles
- Toothpicks
- Ribbon (optional)
Soak your florist cone in water until it is fully saturated and has turned a darker green color. Secure the cone in your urn or other vessel. Place flowers and pears around the cone, starting at the bottom. Secure the pears with toothpicks. You can insert short flower stems directly into the cone. Fill in any gaps with sprigs of greens or small flowers. Add a bow if you like. You can water this arrangement if necessary by gently pouring a small amount of water onto the cone. Only add as much as the cone can absorb.
