Arranging Flowers in Extra-Large Martini Glasses

13 oversized martini glasses for centerpieces? Keep them light and stable with a tape grid.

Tape Grid Method

1. Use fine waterproof floral tape (1/4" or 1/2").
2. Create a criss-cross grid across the rim: 4–5 strips each direction.
3. Wrap one strip around the rim exterior to hide tape ends.

Why It Works

• Stems sit in grid holes—upright, spaced, no foam weight.
• Only 2–3 inches of water needed (stems just covered).
• Glasses stay light, easy to transport and place.

Design Tips

• Use flowers with strong stems: roses, gerberas, orchids, anthurium.
• Add a few trailing stems (ivy, jasmine vine) through lower grid holes for elegance.
• Coordinate glass count with table count—13 suggests a head table + 12 rounds.
