Floral Decorating Ideas
- For a breakfast brunch, use pink, yellow, purple or white flowers with candles. One idea might be to place votive candles along the length of the table with several vases of blooms showcasing a mixture of spring varieties interspersed in between. Guests can each take home a small vase afterwards as a party favor.
- Don't forget corsages and boutonnieres for the guests attending religious services.
- Line the entryway up to your door with beautiful blooming spring plants. A wreath of spring flowers might be placed on the door as a welcome for guests!
- Make a napkin decoration for each guest with a different flower type and use a centrepiece with all of the flowers mixed in.
- Garnish hors d' oeuvre trays with flowers and place a small bloom on each saucer. Ask your florist to make a design in a teapot or a cluster of teacups.
- Fill a traditional wicker basket with mixed spring flowers to use as a centrepiece or place eggs in an Easter basket with blooms in between. Place smaller baskets with candles next to the flowers for a charming effect. Or try the same using clay pots.
