Floral Candlestick Holder and Matching Grapevine Wreath With Lavender, Hydrangeas, and Starflowers

If you love creating coordinated décor pieces, this project is such a fun one to make. In this design, you’ll create a beautiful floral candlestick holder and a matching wreath using layered greenery, soft lavender tones, and hydrangea accents. The finished set has a romantic garden look that works beautifully for spring, Easter, weddings, or everyday home decorating. The best part is that these two pieces are designed to coordinate, so you can display them together on a mantel, entry table, or craft fair booth for an eye-catching set. This project shows how easy it is to turn simple bases into fuller, more polished floral designs with just a few added elements.

Supplies Needed

For the wreath:

• Sunburst wreath frame
• Small angel vine ring
• 14-inch grapevine wreath
• Black zip ties
• Fern greenery bushes
• Lavender bushes
• Hydrangea stems
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Wire cutters or floral clippers

For the candlestick holder:

• Candlestick base
• Floral foam or styrofoam insert
• Fern greenery bushes
• Lavender stems in coordinating shades
• Optional hydrangea or starflower accents
• Moss for filling gaps
• Floral sticks or wooden picks for securing a candle
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Scissors or clippers

How to Make the Matching Wreath

Start by building your wreath base. Attach the angel vine ring inside the sunburst wreath frame using zip ties. Space the zip ties evenly so the vine ring is suspended securely in the center. If you are adding a grapevine wreath as well, secure it so the structure feels sturdy and balanced. Keep the zip ties tucked where they will be less visible from the front, and make sure nothing sharp or bulky sticks out on the back where it could scratch a door.

Once your base is secure, begin shaping the greenery that is already attached to the angel vine ring. Pull the wired pieces upward and outward so they look fuller and more natural. This step makes a big difference because it gives the wreath movement and helps cover the mechanics underneath. If your wreath still looks a little sparse, cut apart fern greenery bushes and begin inserting pieces into the vine base, spacing them about every inch or so around the wreath. Focus on filling open areas while keeping the overall shape airy instead of packed too tightly.

After the greenery is in place, add the lavender. Cut the lavender stems at an angle so they slide easily into the vine wreath. Insert them a couple of inches apart around the design. The lavender instantly changes the look from simple greenery to a soft floral piece with color and texture. Be careful not to place the lavender too close together. You want enough spacing for each stem to be seen while still creating a balanced look throughout the wreath.

At this point, the wreath can be left as a greenery-and-lavender design, but if you want a fuller and more decorative finish, add hydrangea blooms near the front of the wreath. Trim the stems down to about an inch and glue or insert them close to the base so they sit tightly against the wreath. Spread the petals and place the blooms so they help hide the vine ring and any visible zip ties. This creates a more polished finish while still allowing some of the metal or structural elements to peek through for added interest. The result is a light, elegant wreath that can be used as wall décor or even as a centerpiece base.

How to Make the Matching Candlestick Holder

To create the coordinating candlestick holder, begin by placing a piece of floral foam or styrofoam into the top of your candlestick base. Trim it down if needed so it fits snugly. Glue it in place and allow it to set before adding florals. This foam insert gives you a secure base for building your arrangement.

Start with fern greenery to establish the shape. Insert longer pieces first so they drape slightly over the edge of the holder. This creates the base layer and gives the arrangement its overall form. Then cut smaller fern pieces and tuck them in between the longer stems, slightly higher up, to add fullness and hide the foam. As you work, bend and spread the stems so they move naturally rather than all pointing in one direction. The goal is to make the arrangement look loose, organic, and garden-inspired.

Next, add the lavender in coordinating shades. Push some pieces up toward the top of the arrangement and let others drape gently downward. Layering more than one shade of lavender adds depth and makes the arrangement more interesting. If you want even more dimension, you can add small accent flowers, such as starflowers, in between the lavender stems for a delicate finishing touch. Keep checking your arrangement from all sides to fill any visible gaps.

Be sure to leave space in the center for the candle. If needed, trim away some greenery near the opening so the candle can sit securely. Once the floral arrangement is complete, you can use floral sticks or wooden picks to help anchor the candle in place. Add small pieces of moss around the base to hide any remaining foam or open spaces.

Finishing Touches and Display Ideas

One of the nicest things about this project is how versatile it is. The wreath looks lovely hanging on a door, above a fireplace, or displayed flat as a centerpiece. The candlestick holder works beautifully on a mantel, dining table, wedding reception table, or entryway display. Together, they create a matching set that feels thoughtful and high-end without requiring a large number of supplies. This kind of coordinated décor also does very well at craft fairs because customers often love buying pieces that match.

Whether you’re decorating for spring, Easter, or a wedding, this floral candlestick holder and matching wreath set is a gorgeous way to bring soft color and natural texture into your home. With layered ferns, lavender, hydrangeas, and delicate floral accents, you can create a display that feels fresh, elegant, and handmade with love.
