To top off your stay-cation tablescape, here is a very easy centerpiece you can create.

Teak is a great wood to use when trying to create a tropical feeling to a tabletop.

For the orchid and candle centerpiece, I used the salad bowls from a teak bowl set that I picked up in a vintage store near my home in Florida.

I also found a great piece of vintage tropical fabric that you see in the shot in the same store (it was a good day!).

Directions

  • Cut a piece of floral foam, so that it fills the bowl, but does not go over the top. Then cut a hole it in the middle of the floral foam that is the size of your candle.
  • Add water to the bowl until the foam is totally saturated.
  • Remove the single cymbidium orchids from the main stem. You can just snap the single bloom off of the main stem.
  • Insert the single bloom stems into the wet floral foam until you have gone all the way around the candle.
