This short video demonstrates how to create a simple pomander arrangement using scabious seed heads. Pomanders are popular decorative floral designs for weddings, events and seasonal styling, offering texture, movement and a natural rustic appearance. 

Scabious seeds heads are especially popular for autumn or rustic styling due to their sculptural shape and earthy tones. 

• Condition scabious seed heads and foliage 
• Start with floral foam or moss base 
• Insert stems evenly across the shape 
• Rotate regularly while designing for balance 
• Keep the design natural and texural

When Should I Make a Pomander?

We recommend creating pomanders 1-2 days before the event 

Store in a cool, low lit environemnt until required. Depending on the flower types used, you can mist in position to continue hydration.

Common Problems & Solutions:

Pomander looks uneven: Rotate the design regularly while working. Check the spacing and stem placement from all angles. 

Visible gaps in the design: Add additional seed heads or foliage to soften the exposed areas. Vary the stem angles for better coverage. 

Materials drooping: Ensure the stems are correctly hydrated and conditioned before arranging. Store in a cool, low lit environment. Mist regularly to continue hydration.
