Discover some of our amazing decorating ideas using flowers and never use plastic bunting again!
Flower Garlands
Garlands, much like bunting, are quaint and perfect whether they are used indoors or outdoors. For floral garlands, use seasonal blooms and colours, so for example, pastel pink roses for summer, and orange daisies for autumn. Winter garlands of elegant white roses with ripe red berries look amazing and white daisy chains in spring are a must. Make your garlands using 3 metres of twine for each one and around 20 stems of flowers with which to decorate the twine. You can choose to simply tie one flower each time with a few inches between each one, or you can gather small posies to tie at intervals along with the garland. These beautiful, fragrant garlands can be strewn over doorways, hung above windows or draped across fireplaces.
Vases with a difference
Once you have had your flowers delivered, you will want to display them effectively. The way to do this is to consider the time of year that your party is taking place. Flowers in jam jars can be stunning at spring and summer parties and can be used in rows to line garden paths, as table centrepieces both indoors and out, and also as place setting when accompanied by name labels tied around the rim. Halloween is probably one of the only times of the year that you can use pumpkins as vases, and these should be filled to the brim with assorted autumn flowers and fruits. Winter parties look wonderful with white flowers displayed in frosted vases with berries placed all around the bottom of the vases. If you can’t find the appropriate vase in your local shops, nearby florists or online flower stores may have the ideal frosted vases for your party.
A flower pinata
Pinatas are tremendous fun at kids’ parties and adult soirees, but why not try something a little different at your next celebration? Instead of a paper pinata, fashion one using cardboard boxes and the head of various colourful flowers. The cascading petals will look amazing after everyone has had a go at bashing the pinata to release the sweets and presents. Order your blooms via same-day flower delivery or next-day flower delivery to ensure the flowers are fresh as nobody wants wilting flowers adorning what is supposed to be a glorious pinata!
Anniversary parties
Should you be hosting a wedding anniversary party, you will want to the venue to look amazing, and the right blooms will certainly help you to achieve this. Bring back wonderful memories of the big day by using the same types of blooms that you used for your wedding flowers. It could be like your wedding day all over again and will have guests talking about how wonderful that day was as they recall the same flowers being present when you exchanged vows. If you plan to use just as many flowers as you did on your wedding day, it is best to buy flowers by post as you will undoubtedly be too busy arranging the rest of the party to venture out to purchase flowers from the high street.
