How to Design a Summer Centerpiece in a Watermelon | Episode 60 of Blossoms and Bourbon
Watch as I show you how to create a stunning flower arrangement using a watermelon as a unique and beautiful vase. Perfect for summer parties, picnics, or as a vibrant centerpiece for your home, this design combines the fresh look of flowers with the juicy, refreshing appeal of watermelon. And, while we’re on the topic of juicy and refreshing, let’s take the pulp from our “vase,” turn it into juice and use the juice to make a delicious Watermelon Old Fashioned! Inspired by Laney Wilson’s song “Watermelon Moonshine,” this is just the thing to cool you off on these hot summer days! Hope you enjoy this episode! Cheers!

I lOOOVED it🧡 Can you do something with red rose?actually In my country red rose is so common and I want to do something like that in a occasion 🇧🇩
I learn something new every time I watch your posts. Love the grapevine and tulip topping! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and learning new things! That's what it's all about! Thanks again for watching! Cheers!
Ooooh nothing says "summer" like an arrangement in a watermelon (and yes! to showing some of the rind)! PS I hope you're able to post pics of the centerpieces on the wedding reception tables, whenever that happens. Cheers to you, Mark!
Thanks, Maria! So glad you liked this homage to summer! I'll try to get those pics from the wedding on my social pages this week and you can compare! Thanks again for watching and being a loyal viewer! Cheers!
Fun to watch Mark!
@@katherinek4877 thank you! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
I was really skeptical at first with a watermelon as a dish, but WOW, Mark, !!!! That is absolutely gorgeous !!!! The colors are outstanding !!! Oh, and by the way, I'm watching from about 2 miles from your shop !!! 😀
@@maxinemeade3094 thank you! It is surprising, but really cute and works so well! Stay tuned for the next episode which features another natural container!! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!
Watching from just outside D.C. Love this series. Anyone else mildly intimidated when Mark says, "we're going to create a basic rounded shape" yet proceeds to create perfection all while narrating the process? Me neither. 😉 👏 Bravo!
@@amberburnett9377 hello friend!! Hahaha! You’re too kind and too funny! Hope you and the hubs are well! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!
Watching from Scotland and loving this fun display. So useful to see the links you give in every video. Many thanks.
This is awesome! It’s my pleasure and I’m so glad to have you watching! Thanks for your kind words and please stay in touch! Cheers!
Watching from my cool and comfy kitchen in franklin county va! Love the pop of yellow and the watermelon container! Extra points for double use in a summer drink, cheers!😅❤ My fave at home from my side of the road flowers is cattails and queen annes lace😊Happy 4th!
Sounds lovely! And thanks for your kind words! You’ll have to try the drink; it was very tasty! Great flower choices for your roadside blooms, too! Cheers friend!
Just used watermelon rinds as vessels for church altar arrangements this past Sunday. Arrangements were beautiful. Skipped the watermelon beverage for communion wine though. 😉
Sounds wonderful and perfect for summer! I can see why you might have skipped the watermelon beverage though! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Hello there, watching from Arizona 🌵☀️
Hello! Thank you for watching and for sharing your location! Is it true that you have a "dry" heat there? Cheers!
Beautiful! Thank you for mentioning the mechanics.
Thank you! My pleasure! I love sharing all things mechanics - they are super important! Thank you for watching! Cheers!

Fantastic creation. My girly, girly thing is an arrangement in a mini hatbox. So cool. A new subscriber and just love your videos.

Thank you! I'm so glad and thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love this it’s beautiful
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love this it very beautiful and unique but I have curious question I been looking a lot at my trees in my yard can you use the leaves and branches for greenery and bits in a floral arrangement?
Hi again! Yes, of course you can make use of lots of "found" materials in your yard. The "sticks" in this design were dried branches that were trimmed from arborvitae shrubs with the foliage removed. You'll have to experiment as some types won't last as long once cut as others do. But have fun with trying! Thanks again for watching! Cheers!
Where is the link for the white plastic amateur?
Hi there! The link is the first line after the full description under the video. It's referenced as the plastic floral arrangement grid. Please let me know if you have any issues or can't find it! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Sufficiently weird enough !!! 😊It is certainly an unusual arrangement in an unusual container !!! I am shocked that you could get so many flowers to stay in such small pieces of foam ! Beautiful color combo !!!
Hahaha! I love your comments, Maxine, but especially this one! 🤣. I so appreciate you watching! Thank you and take care! 🧡💜
So very unique and beautiful
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Never saw this technique before, it's WONDERFUL ❤! Thanks for sharing 💐
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! Please play around with the pan melt glue in similar applications; it can be quite versatile! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Thank you so much, I love how you show us your creative way of flower arranging.
Thank you for watching! I love being able to share things I've learned about floral design over 30 years of experience! Cheers!
Thanks for inviting me to be part of the Peanut Gallery! I love watching you work. Cheers, Mark!

My pleasure!! Thank you for watching! Cheers!
Spectacular! I’ll have to give this a try.
I hope you will and please let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
I have grown to love carnations! They are SOLDIERS. I’ve left them in a hot car, forgotten to change their water for days, among other crimes. They continued on for WEEKS! Great little gems for beginners on a budget like me. 💐💕
You are absolutely right! They're awesome! Thanks for sharing your comment and thanks, too, for watching! Cheers!
Thank YOU! For replying and for sharing your wealth of knowledge in such a fun, relaxed way!
@@ArtisticDazzler my pleasure!! Please keep watching!
I wasn't sure how I felt about this arrangement when you started, but, Mark, it is STUNNING & so unusual !!!!
It is a bit of a surprise isn’t it?! I’m so glad you like it! Thanks again for watching! Cheers!
I Absolutely Love the idea of a Contemporary ARRANGEMENT. This one was so impressive. The GRID built OUTSIDE a VASE?! Very Creative and Just Gorgeous! .. then to finish, bring it all together in a surprising Nice but SNEAKY WAY. OOOH, AWE!.. by adding weight in form of Simply WATER + Floating CANDLES ended BEAUTIFULLY. The Floating Candles completed it and was the Cherry on top. I can't wait to try this TECHNIQUE. Thank you for Sharing this. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. ❤🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words! This was such a fun design to create partly because it is so unique! I’m glad you enjoyed this episode and appreciate your watching! Cheers!
Love this technique. Love your show. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks for your kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content I offer here! Thank you for watching! Cheers!
OMGGGGG -- You KNOW how I love the unexpected, Mark, and this is definitely my favorite arrangement! Be still my heart.
Of course you do! That’s why we get along so well! So glad you like this one! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love this!!!!’ Never seen this method used before!!!!!
Thank you! Definitely different but so much fun! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
I Appreciate all your a Video's and I've learned so much from viewing them. Your designs and teaching are just so relaxing and informative. I truly enjoy your Post because they're just Beautiful, Beautiful. I will be designing and building all the Florals designs for a upcoming Wedding in 2025. A Sweet Neice will be having a Outdoor Wedding & Reception.. I'm so excited about that. I'm already Planning and have learned so much more just watching.. So, Thank You, Thank you. ❤❤😊 Keep them Coming and Love the fact that you incorporate BOURBON too. 🎉🎉😅 ❤ 🙌
You’ve made my day! Thank you for the very kind words. I’m so glad you find my episodes helpful and I know you’re excited about the wedding you’re doing next year! Have you done floral design before or is this your first venture into it? Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!
This is great! What’s an alternative to the oasis floral adhesive?
Thank you!! Honestly, it's really the only adhesive that I know is flower-friendly and will hold after cooling in the frig. There is another similar adhesive out on the market that doesn't hold nearly as well and that we do not use here at the shop. Some florists have used the hot pan melt glue, but if it is too hot, it may damage the flowers. Good luck! and Cheers!
I REALLY love the simple arrangement !!! So peaceful looking !!!
Thank you!! So do I! If you haven't tried using a pin frog before, you should really give it a go as it is a great way to design without a huge commitment to lots of flowers. Thanks again for watching! Cheers!
Very pretty, Mark. Very "springy" !
Thanks, Maxine! And, thank you again for being a loyal subscriber and viewer! Cheers!
You read my mind about the sea glass! That rocking was making me twitch just a little, so I'm glad you addressed it. Congrats on 2000+ subscribers! Hooray! <3
Hahaha! Yes, twitch is right! It was just never going to do with that rocking! Thank you and thanks so much for watching! Cheers!
