Hanging a Floral Arrangement from a Gazebo Center

Suspending an arrangement above the vow exchange spot requires secure, lightweight mechanics that won't damage the gazebo.

Recommended Hardware

• Grande Oasis Cage – a plastic cage holding a brick of wet foam. Choose the smallest size that fits your design to minimize weight.
• Waterproof tape (Davy tape) – wrap the cage circumference to prevent foam cracking.
• Heavy-duty zip ties (12–18 inch, UV-resistant) – loop through the cage's built-in holes and around the gazebo's center beam or crossbar.

Step-by-Step

1. Soak foam thoroughly; let drain 10 minutes.
2. Design arrangement in cage, keeping it lush but not overly dense.
3. Attach zip ties to cage before lifting—have a second person help hoist.
4. Secure to gazebo structure; trim excess zip tie tails.
5. Mist with floral sealant (Crowning Glory) for longevity.

Pro Tip

Test the weight by hanging a water-filled bucket of equal mass for an hour. Check for any structural flex. If the gazebo is rented, get written permission from the vendor first.
