How difficult would it be to make topiary trees for my centerpieces? I was thinking artificial rose buds and other bits in pastel colours instead of an actual tree! I need it to be heavy too as the reception is in a marquee and they sometimes lift up the sides to let the air in, so I read you should fill th pot with plaster of Paris? Any ideas would be appreciated, and also, if anyone knows where to get hold of artificial flower buds to poke in the florist ball?! Thanks!

Try here for your flowers http://www.rainbowfloristsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Artificial_Flowers.html

you can either have clay or plaster of paris, then you can add your pole. I would glue the oasis ball in place tho and also glue in your flowers- put them in first then pull them out again- put a blob of glue in the hole and the sick the flower back in. -

Before you put your flowers in the cover your stem.

Hope this helps if you need anymore advice just pm me or ask me on my facebook group.
