Arrange your very own
grand entrance when you
create the ultimate in
elegant floral design.
FROM HOBBY LOBBY®}

Welcome your guests to an old-world
charm with this pair of elegant,
topiary-style floral arrangements.
They are the perfect coordinated
accents for an inviting veranda or
entryway. What a grand design!
Peonies and Pheasants
We chose an ornate urn with a Tuscan
appeal. The bottom of the urn was filled
with one layer of floral bricks. Secure
with hot glue and continue stacking
bricks until you reach the desired
height of arrangement.
For extra stability, insert dowel rods down
into the bricks, then use a foam cutter to
carve a basic cone shape.
Next, working in rows from the bottom
to top, insert creamy peonies, chic feather
balls and deep red peonies.
Finally, finish with a dramatic
flourish of wispy prairie grass and
bold pheasant feathers.
Cattails and Wisteria
We followed the same basic instructions
from above for this piece, but gave this
arrangement its own personality. A taller
urn with an antiqued finish was chosen.
We used clusters of white wisteria and
dramatic, black feathers along the rim to
distinguish the look, and added stunning
red cattails to the mix for a pop of color.
The result is a stunning arrangement
that can easily stand alone, yet functions
beautifully as part of our coordinated duo.

Grace on a Grand Scale
From feather-embellished ivy garland, to a pair of blossoming urns,
to simple and elegant swags, we’ve got floral projects and inspiration to help
you create a stylish entrance for your beautiful home.

Corner Swag
Use floral wire to attach
two small bundles of
willow into an “L”
shape. Then use floral
wire to attach clusters of
fall berries, individual
pheasant feathers, and
groups of cattails and
prairie grass. Next,
using floral cutters, clip
the blossoms from silk
hydrangeas and peony
stem, leaving just enough
stem to tuck in flowers to
the center of the swag.
Center Spray
No one needs to
know how easy it was
to make! Start with
an off-the-shelf rose
spray. Use floral wire
to attach pheasant
feathers, berry spray,
and cattails to further
embellish it. In no
time at all, you’ll have
a stunning, custom
arrangement for a front
door or garden gate.
