Girly Girl Baby Shower - Bridal Shower Centerpiece

In this how to do it yourself video tutorial, I'll teach you how to create this girly girl centerpiece inside of a decorative gift box. The arrangement is done is pink hydrangea, roses, tulips, dendrobium orchids, and veronica.

The inspiration for this floral arrangement came from finding a decorative gift box from a local discount home goods store.   The color of the box was pink, green and white so I lined the box with cellophane and grocery store plastic bags and filled with the same color of flowers to match the box.  I incorporated the lid of the box into the design by resting the edge of the filled box  on the lip of the lid and finishing off the lid with a white organza ribbon.
