Transform A Bunch Of Store-Bought Flowers Into A Beautiful Table Runner Using Easy-To-Find Supplies And Pretty, Vintage Dessert Bowls.
If you’re planning a dinner party and looking to add a bit of extra wow to your table, Samantha Labuschagne from Medley House Wedding and Function Venue in Joburg (Medleyhouse. co.za) explains how to create the perfect floral table runner.
‘All you need is a store-bought bunch of flowers, some supplies from your local flower shop, and a bit of patience,’ she says. When you buy a mixed bunch of flowers from your local flower or grocery store, you don’t get to pick and choose which flowers you’d like, but Samantha says it’s surprisingly easy to create beautiful arrangements using what’s there.
