How can I move the title to the center-CodePudding

I want to move the title to green area. If I carry to the container it puts blue area. If I decrease container height title getting closer to the squares. But I want the boxes in the center and the title little above of them. How can I do it?

#container {
  width: 1200;
  height: 600px;
  margin: auto;
  border: 1px solid grey;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.box {
  height: 250px;
  width: 250px;
  margin-left: 25px;
  margin-right: 25px;
  background-color: red;
}

h1 {
  text-align: center;
}

<h1>TITLE!!!</h1>
<div id="container">
  <div ></div>
  <div ></div>
  <div ></div>
</div>

It's the display: flex; that's causing the issue. Here's a working model:

<div id="container">
    <h1>TITLE!!!</h1>
    <div > 
        <div ></div>
        <div ></div>
        <div ></div>
    </div>
</div>

#container {
    width: 1200;
    height: 600px;
    margin: auto;
    border: 1px solid grey;
}
.box-wrapper {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}
.box {
    height: 250px;
    width: 250px;
    margin-left: 25px;
    margin-right: 25px;
    background-color: red;
}
h1 {
    text-align: center;
}

I added a extra wrapper to wrap all the elements and added a display flex to it. Also, You can make use of a gap css property in wrapper class to add extra space between them.

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  border: 1px solid grey;
  width: 1200px;
  height: 600px;
}

#container {
  margin: auto;
  //border: 1px solid grey;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.box {
  height: 250px;
  width: 250px;
  margin-left: 25px;
  margin-right: 25px;
  background-color: red;
}

h1 {
  text-align: center;
}

<div >
  <h1>TITLE!!!</h1>
  <div id="container">

    <div ></div>
    <div ></div>
    <div ></div>
  </div>
</div>

Also, the other way to solve this would be to use absolute positioning and adding a top padding to allow space for the div header if extra div is really not required.
