How to Make a Grande Rosebowl Centerpiece

To create the Grande centerpiece, you'll need the following items.

Order your roses in advance.
Gather your supplies and get your workspace ready.
Prepare each rosebowl by cutting one piece of the chicken wire into an 8" by 16" strip. Roll it into a tube shape and twist the ends to secure. Insert the tube into the rosebowl and rotate it 90 degrees (horizontally). You might have to bend the ends to make it fit securely inside the bowl. This wire form will help hold the stems in place when you assemble your flower arrangements. Repeat for the number of rosebowls you are using.
Recommendation: If there are many Grande rosebowl containers to be readied, consider preparing all of the wire inserts well in advance of the wedding day. If you complete that job beforehand, you will have more time to enjoy the fun part - actually arranging the flowers hours before the ceremony.
The day your roses are delivered, prepare them according to our instructions. Remove all foliage and snip the tips of the thorns if your roses have them.
If you are doing more than one or two arrangements, enlist the help of a few friends and relatives. They will make the project move faster and keep the focus on fun.
If you are planning a morning or early afternoon wedding, add the flowers the night before. For a late afternoon or evening wedding, plan to assemble them early that morning.

Fill the rosebowl with clear, warm water.
Using the utility scissors, cut the stem of one rose at a 45 degree angle about 10" below the head. Place the rose in the rosebowl with the stem resting on the lip and the head about 2" over the edge. The chicken wire will help to hold the stem in place. Repeat with seventeen more roses, placing them close to each other. If there is space between the roses, trim their stems again to make a smaller circle. When completed, you should have a circle of roses about 10" in diameter.
Using twelve more roses, make a second inner circle that is slightly smaller than the first. They may not all fit directly next to each other which is perfectly fine. Just stagger them to fill in.
Trim the remaining six roses and place them as a bunch in the center of the arrangement, adjusting to eliminate gaps.
Spray the arrangement lightly with water.
If you have space, place the arrangement in the refrigerator covered loosely with a plastic bag. If there's no room in the fridge, don't worry; your flowers will be absolutely fine if you keep them stored in your workspace.

Blow a puff or two of air - as if you were blowing out a candle - down into the center of each rose just before adding it to the arrangement. This helps the petals open out a bit more and gives a fuller look.
When cutting stems, it is best to snip them a little longer; you can always trim them shorter if necessary.
Take a deep breath and relax. You can do this!
