How to Make a Stunning Spill-Over Charcuterie Bouquet

If you're looking for a way to impress your guests with a truly unique charcuterie display, this Spill-Over Charcuterie Bouquet is the ultimate showstopper. 

Whether for a special gathering like a wedding or anniversary, or a romantic dinner, or upscale event, this arrangement is sure to steal the spotlight.

Materials You'll Need:

• 12 wooden charcuterie cones which serve as the flowers base. (Click here to get on Amazon)
  

• Disposable condiment cups, to hold food inside the cones and prevent moisture from leaking into wooden charcuterie cones. (Click here to get on Amazon)   
  

• 12-inch bamboo skewers which are used as the flower base stems (Click here to get on Amazon)
  

• Hot glue gun & glue sticks (Click here to get on Amazon)
  

  

• Small round tapered floral styrofoam (Click here to get on Amazon)
  

• Tall glass or jar, for stability while assembling. I used one of our tall drinking glasses.

• Tea towel or floral paper, to wrap the base. 

• Fresh greenery and optional fresh flowers
  

• Your favorite charcuterie snacks (See step 5 below for list of foods used in this display)

• Live Edge Charcuterie Board (Click here to check out our gorgeous walnut charcuterie boards)
  

  

Step 1: Create the Cone Flowers

To start, you’ll need to attach a skewer to each wooden charcuterie cone.

• Place the small tapered floral styrofoam into a tall glass or jar to keep it stable.

• Apply a small amount of hot glue to the top portion of the skewer.

• Carefully press the glued skewer into the base seam of the cone, ensuring that the tip is hidden within the seam .

• Hold the skewer in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.

• Insert the skewer into the floral foam block so it stays upright as you work on the others.

• Repeat this process until all 12 cone flowers are assembled.
  
  

  

Step 2: Arrange the Bouquet

Now that your cone flowers are ready, it’s time to create the bouquet shape.

• Adjust the height and position of the cone flowers to create a balanced, natural-looking bouquet shape.

• Once you're happy with the arrangement, carefully remove the bouquet from the glass.

Step 3: Wrap the Base

To give the bouquet a polished, finished look:

• Wrap the base with a tea towel or floral paper to mimic the appearance of a traditional flower bouquet.

• Adjust the wrap so it looks neat but still has a natural, organic feel.

Now, place the entire bouquet onto the charcuterie board where it will be displayed.

Step 4: Secure and Add Greenery

To keep everything stable:

• Apply a small bead of hot glue between a few cones to gently tack them together.

• Start inserting greenery into all the open spaces between the cones.

• If desired, add fresh flowers for extra beauty and texture.

• Slide in long breadsticks throughout the bouquet to create dimension and fill any remaining gaps.
  
  

  

Step 5: Fill the Cones

Since the cones are lying on their sides, we want to prevent food from shifting:

• Place disposable condiment cups inside each cone. These help hold the food in place and also prevent moisture from seeping into the wooden cones.

• Now, start filling the cones with your charcuterie selections.

I used:
✅ Chocolate wafers
✅ Pistachios & olives
✅ Meat and cheese roses
✅ Grapes, cherries, strawberries, kiwis,and blackberries
✅ Macarons & brownies
✅ Pearl bocconcini

This combination creates a perfect mix of sweet, savory, and fresh elements. Feel free to customize the fillings based on your personal preferences or event theme!

Step 6: Final Touches

Stand back and admire your masterpiece! Make any final adjustments by:

• Ensuring the greenery is balanced.

• Checking that all charcuterie items are secure.

• Adding a few more decorative touches if needed.
