Floral Décor Ideas for Parties

6 Ways to Prettify Parties with Fresh Flowers

Throwing a party of any size, or theme or reason for that matter, can be really stressful. From trimming the guest size and menu preparation to coming up with a playlist and ensuring that you stick with your budget, hosting a party is indeed a lot of work. To take some stress out of your party planning, let us help you add oomph to your venue by decorating with fresh flowers. Here are six ways to lend elegance and beauty to your next merrymaking.

Welcome Guests with a Flower Wreath at the Entrance

Welcome the guests with a flower wreath at the entrance. You may hang a welcome wreath on your door or be a little more creative and make a giant hula hoop wreath of flowers to display in your front yard or the venue’s entrance. Hula hoop wreaths are easy to make and can spruce up any occasion including weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, graduation parties and more. Transforming a cheap hula hoop into an eye-catching floral décor is easy. A couple of coats of spray paint, floral tape and wire, scissors and a bundle of flowers and leaves in various colours and textures are all that you’ll need. What’s also great about these hula hoop floral wreaths is that you can use them as home décor after the party. Suspend it with a ribbon in front of a window or display it above your mantle.

Hang Flower Chandeliers

Hang flower chandeliers. Skip the traditional crystal chandelier and go for a hanging arrangement of flowers instead. Use long strings of flowers like hyacinths and cover the top with fresh greens and berries for that garden-fresh vibe. You can get inspiration from this dazzling flower chandelier created by Polish designer, Pani Jurek, using test tubes and fresh blossoms. A cheaper alternative would be a DIY flower chandelier using embroidery hoop and faux flowers.

Give the Table Napkins a Little Flower Accent

Give the table napkins a little flower accent. Just put a flower head on the napkin ring and instantly give your table a boost of colour. This is a cost-effective and ingenious way to use fresh flowers as décor for your small or intimate party. Zinnias, dahlias, roses, mums and other bright flowers with a large head would be ideal.

Enhance Your Tablescape with Fresh Flowers in Season

Enhance your tablescape with fresh flowers in season. Table centerpieces and buffet table flower decors are finishing touches that are well worth the extra effort. No matter how big or small your guest list is, a refreshing tablescape can jazz up the celebration. Stick with flowers in season to keep flower decorating costs low. Include elements that match your theme or the reason for the celebration. Look to nature for your inspiration and try not to overcrowd the table with décor. Simple flowers in small to mid-sized vases would do to leave room for food. In general, odd numbers of containers or vases would do the trick. For an 8-foot table, for example, you can have 2 medium-sized vessels in between three smaller ones. Don’t forget to cut all foliage, cut carefully, and keep the water fresh and clean.

Create a Floral Wall Backdrop for Your DIY Photobooth

Create a floral wall backdrop for your DIY photobooth. Make your shindig all the more unforgettable by setting up a space where your guests can have fun taking photos of themselves. Yes, we’re talking about a DIY photobooth. You can use a basic digital point-and-shoot camera mounted on a tripod or simply rely on your guests high-end camera phones and selfie skills. Just make sure you have an Instagram-worthy backdrop. You can use a grass carpet and garlands of fresh flowers. A wall of huge paper flowers would also make a fabulous DIY photobooth backdrop.



Dress up the Powder Room

Dress up the powder room. An often-overlooked detail, prepping the powder room for a party is also important as it makes the guests feel more welcome. Bring your powder room to life with a simple flower arrangement of blossoms in your colour theme. Keep the arrangements compact so it won’t take much space and there will be less chance of the flowers getting knocked over. You can arrange large flowers on a tray or a small bowl. Orchids, begonias and greens like aloe vera, bamboo, and fern are excellent bathroom plant choices. You may also want to add some flattering lighting and fragrance by using scented candles.

The Impact of Fresh Flowers on Your Party

Whether you’re just hosting a dinner party at home or a grand festivity in a rented venue, flowers can certainly help set the tone of the event and make your celebration look and feel more fun, exciting, warm and inviting. Fresh flowers’ natural grace and beauty can easily liven up a space and prettify a party. Don’t underestimate the impact of fresh flowers. Floral décor can set the scene, uplift the mood, and give your celebration the WOW factor.

Planning a party can be so overwhelming but at the end of the day, when you look back at how fun it was to be with your family and friends, you’ll realize that everything’s worth the great effort.
