Ignite the skies with a burst of patriotism featuring Lady Liberty herself at center stage in this dazzling fireworks display centerpiece.
This setup is ideal for political fundraisers, Fourth of July celebrations, election and patriotic-themed events emphasizing American symbols and colors.
Guaranteed to spark conversations, this patriotic-themed floral and fireworks arrangement centers around a 15" miniature Statue of Liberty.
The statue is surrounded by a vibrant display of flowers in red, white, and blue, arranged in a box decorated with the American flag design.
Above the statue, there are several sparkler-like decorations resembling fireworks, in red, white, and blue, suspended in the air.

Make Fireworks Wire Supports
- Measure, cut, & straighten 14-gauge wire to make supports
- Our centerpiece used the following lengths:
- Blue: 24 & 13 inches
- White: 19 & 16 inches
- Red: 18 & 10 inches
- Add an extra 2-3 inches to each section for handling
- This can be removed after painting the wire
Straighten Wire
- To straighten each section, secure one end of the wire in a vise
- If you don't have a vise, you can attach the wire to a stationary object
- Chuck the other end of the wire into a drill
- Turn on the drill at slow or moderate speed
- Keep tension on the wire while it is spinning
- Spin until straight and remove
- Spray paint each wire section with matte black spray paint
Assemble Centerpiece
- Cut floral foam blocks to fit the flag planter
- Hot glue Statue of Liberty to floral foam
- Arrange fireworks & supports on a flat surface to estimate placement
- Trim off curled ends and excess wire from supports
- Attach glitter ball fireworks on supports and glue into floral foam
- Insert hydrangeas as a field of blue base
- Add intermittent starbursts of white Queen Anne's Lace
- Center a red Gerbera daisy against the white of each starburst
Set the Scene
- Start with a white tablecloth as a base
- Use gold lame fabric as a table runner to accentuate the statue's torch
- Black curtains or fabric as a background will enhance the fireworks effect
Reverse View
- Add small decorative rockets or similar for aesthetic balance in the reverse view
- I found these at an arts and crafts store
