Perfect Presentation Ideas
This Candy Rose Bouquet looks beautiful in a variety of vases, from charming Mason Jars to more high-end options. The height may depend on the size of the skewers you used.
- Clear Vases: You can’t go wrong with this clear glass vase from Amazon, which can be used for so many occasions. For smaller arrangements, this set of 3 in various heights is classic and lovely, plus only cost $12!
- Colored Vases: This set of 4 comes in a variety of shades, which adds a nice pop of color! We also love these ceramic color options.
- White Vases: We love the elegant design on this French Pearl White Vase or this modern ribbed vase.
Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.
Can I Prep this Candy Rose Bouquet in Advance?
Yes! You can make them 2-3 days ahead of time. We recommend storing in a Ziploc Bag until you are ready to arrange it into a bouquet, so the candy doesn’t dry out.
Storing Leftovers
After you enjoy these as a centerpiece, feel free to store in a Ziploc Bag at room temp so they stay fresh a bit longer. This Candy Rose Bouquet is (almost) too pretty to eat!
