Wine Bottle Bouquet DIY

Raise your hand if you’ve ever struggled to come up with a unique gift idea or creative way to decorate your home for a special occasion. Raises hand. Well, fear not my fellow gift-giving and home-decorating enthusiasts, because I have a solution that’s both beautiful and functional, the wine bottle floral bouquet!

Whether you’re a seasoned floral designer or a complete newbie, this project is easy to do and will leave you feeling like a true artist. And the best part? You can use either fresh or faux flowers, depending on your preference.

Here’swhatyou’llneed:

• Fresh or faux floral stems

• Scissors

• Wet or dry Oasis foam block (depending on whether you’re using fresh or faux florals)

• Bottle of wine or your beverage of choice (because let’s be real, everything is better with a drink in hand)

Select fresh flowers that will complement the wine and occasion. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and textures to create a unique and visually appealing bouquet.

Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the Oasis block to fit the size of the bottle neck. Gently press the top of your bottle into the center of your Oasis block until fully secure and the top of your bottle is visible.

Carefully remove the Oasis block from the wine bottle. Use a small bowl filled with water and soak your Oasis block for a few minutes until it becomes completely saturated. This will ensure that the foam will hold moisture and help keep your flowers fresh.

Place the wet Oasis block back onto the top of the bottle neck. Pro tip - you may want to wrap your block using plastic wrap to keep drips at a minimum.

Pre-cut your flowers to your desired length. Begin to arrange your flowers by inserting them into the foam. Start with larger blooms in the center and work your way outward with smaller flowers and foliage to create a balanced and visually appealing arrangement in the round.

And voila! You now have a stunning wine bottle floral bouquet that’s ready to impress. When it’s time to enjoy your wine or beverage, simply slide the floral arrangement from the bottle and indulge. Your floral block can then be transferred to another vessel to enjoy. Flowers should stay fresh while inserted in an Oasis foam block that has been saturated with water for 3-5 days while hydrated.

So, the next time you’re stumped on what to give as a gift or how to spruce up your home for a special occasion, try making a wine bottle floral bouquet.
