What is it like Potty? Can you put a photo up? Is there a central candle plate with a spike on?

I just did a short course on celebration flowers - one of the things we did was a candleabra. You put the oasis in a candle cup. Its a plastic cup that holds a small square of Oasis (1/2 a 1/3 block) that is taped in. The bottom of the cup has a 'spout' (if thats the right word) that fits into where the candle would normally go and secured with oasis fix (I think that's what its called, like blu tak). Is this what you meant?? Can post a pic 2morrow if it helps

nope wrong sort of thing this is a candleabra that has 6 spouts for the candles and there isn't one in the centre

thinking on the oasis bowl taped in the centre the only problem is you'd see underneath so thought i'd hide it with sisal!!!??? what do you reakon

Yes, that'd work, something along those lines, or moss or sommat like that.

Or use an oasis sphere and cover it with flowers. Depends how much they're paying I suppose!

Be a bit of a sod to deliver though wouldn't it, with the flowers attached.

The cup is really small - mine was hidden with foliage. How would you secure the sisal? Glue?
