Floral Decorating Ideas
- Decorate trays and platters with blooms and votive candles.
- Place flowers into the ends of horn blowers or hats and place around the table or on trays.
- At midnight, pass out a flower to each guest as part of the customary celebratory toast, or just place flowers in a group next to the glasses on the serving tray and allow guests to pick up a flower for themselves or their special someone.
- Serve champagne on trays decorated with blossoms. Ice rings can be pre-made for each bottle of champagne ahead of time.
- For simple decorations where friends will be serving themselves, ask your florist to create small medleys of flowers to be placed in empty champagne bottles as a centrepiece with the glasses around them.
- Place flowers on the fireplace mantle where they will be seen, at the entry way as a warm welcome, and even unexpected places like powder rooms. Flowers are always a welcome surprise place in unusual places waiting to be discovered!
