Hi! I'm Ruth Dehoyes and I'm here with Expert Village to show you how to do the perfect centerpiece for your bridal occasion. I'm going to start a basic triangular design and it's very, very simple. If you just think of your hands like a leaf. They're all leaves. These are leaves and we're going to this basic design. I use a knife. I don't like to use scissors. Ok. Now, I took the leaf and I take the bottom parts off. You're going to make like a pineapple and you can start the basic design just like a triangle. This is what we're doing. We're working a triangle. You can see that. Then I'm goign to take it. Then you need to use a knife. A knife is the sharpest object to get it in this wet oasis. Then you just keep filling your back, your sides. You don't really have to do a lot of greenery to begin with. You can just kind of cover your basis a little bit just to give you a line of what you need to do.
