Prepare the Base for Your Candy Bouquet

Now that you have all your supplies ready, the next step in creating your stunning DIY Valentine's Day candy bouquet is to prepare the base.

Glue four candy boxes together at the edges to form a square. For added stability, securely hot glue a piece of cardboard to the bottom of the square. Next, trim the floral foam to fit snugly inside the space between the candy boxes.

Arrange the Candy

To arrange the candy, start by attaching the candy to skewers using hot glue, making sure to vary the heights for a dynamic look. Once the glue has dried, insert the skewers into the floral foam, positioning them at different heights and angles.

Place the taller candies toward the back and the smaller ones in the front for a layered effect. Add chocolate roses for a romantic touch to complete the bouquet.

To add extra charm and a festive touch, I included pink and red glitter hearts, strategically placing them to fill in any gaps. For an eye-catching centerpiece, I added a balloon on a stick to the back of the arrangement.

the perfect bow

To give the candy bouquet a polished look, I wrapped white burlap around the base of the boxes, adding texture and a rustic flair. To complete the wrapping, I tied a large, elegant red velvet bow around the burlap, creating a classic Valentine’s Day touch.

For the final flourish, I incorporated battery-operated LED lights, weaving them around the bouquet to add a magical glow. The soft lighting makes the entire display feel warm and inviting, perfect for the romantic spirit of Valentine’s Day.
