I NEED HELP!! - I'm going insane!!!!!

I need help!!! (what's new I hear you all cry!!)

Our bridezilla's wedding is fast approaching. She wants a "flower burst" type arrangement to go in a tall lily vase (50cm). As much as Candylottie has tried we just cannot seem to get the "flower burst" look. It all goes well until we try and put it in the vase then it looks like a rocket!!!

Any ideas from anyone how we can achieve the look bridezilla wants? We will have 40 tables to decorate on the day (luckily the "do" doesn't start until 6.30pm, so we will have the whole day).

Basically.......


HELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

what about using oasis and a junior dish, we have some lily vases that they fit into perfectly and they are brilliant for this type of arrangement

Could you not make it on an oasis sphere and just pushing it down onto the vase once its finished?? Few flowers pushed slightly out the way, just to get the vase to push into the sphere?

Or just push the sphere onto the vase to mark where it would sit, and not flower that thin line up so that it will still go onto vase...

Does that make any sense??
