At my work, we had our Winter Board meeting and I offered to take a stab at creating our centerpieces in
#1. Hopes of saving some money
#2. Having an excuse to do a fun project.
I called Publix and ordered 10 bundles for this project (300 carnations in total). I underestimated the enormous amount of carnations that are necessary for each centerpiece. You need around 50 per centerpiece. We had 13 tables. 13 x 50= 650. Not 300.
No need to panic. I went back to Publix and bought some white mums. Only 10 mums were required per centerpiece. Each centerpiece took less than 5 minutes to create and the flowers stayed alive for a week after the event. I think they would be so charming for a wedding.

Mixed carnations and mums (i prefer the carnations) . I received compliments like a rock star and showed a few older women how I made them.
