Host A Better Party: Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers are an easy way to spruce up any event space. They're eye-catching, budget friendly (if you arrange them yourself or find the right florist), and they just exude the idea that you put in extra effort. Everyone will love that!

You can place them in the center of your dinner table, and/or you can add them in unexpected places. There are also so many things you can do with a flower, you don't have to put them in a vase and call it a day, people! See below for some examples...

Gorgeous color combinations. Go outside your comfort zone.

Table centerpieces... lovely and traditional, nothing wrong with that!

What? Flowers in the drawer of an antique chest? Precious.

Flowers in a teacup. Cute idea for party favors?

Placing a flower on the dinner plate is unexpected and adds a nice touch of color.

Flower in a grapefruit! 'Nuff said.

This one is pretty awesome, on trend, and just plain unique.

You can even use flowers as your escort card "holders."

So next time you host a party, put a bit of thought into your flowers. Get creative!

  1. I LOVE fresh flowers but I can't seem to find any flowers that with live longer than 1 day :(
    By the way, great design on your header/button. I click on it whenever I see it because I love the black & white chevron with a touch of gold. I can't resist, haha ;)

  2. Fun fact: if you add a little splash of Sprite to the water in the arrangement, they will last longer! It has something to do with the sugar being good for the flowers... and I've heard the same about putting a penny in the water, but haven't tried that one.

    And thanks for the compliment! Love your blog design too :) xo
