Spring has sprung and flowers are in bloom! Take inspiration from this beautiful season and plan a floral arranging party for Mother’s Day. All of the important women in your life will love taking part in this unique celebration and will be thrilled to head home with a beautiful arrangement in honor of the day.
Before you commence the arranging, a cocktail is certainly in order. Set up a simple Mimosa Bar to let guests create their own drink. Simply provide champagne, a variety of colorful fresh fruit juices, and some sliced fruit for added accent. Sugar the rim of you Champagne Flutes with colored sugars for a sweet touch.
When it’s time to begin creating the arrangements, present each guest with the necessary supplies including flower snips, floral tape, floral frogs, and foam. Consider placing the items in a decorative container and allowing them to be taken home as special Mother’s Day gifts so each guest can create more arrangements at home.
Provide flowers from your garden and ask guest to contribute cuttings from theirs as well. No gardeners in the family? Simply visit a local farmer’s market, grocery floral department, or local flower shop to stock up on seasonal blooms such as peonies, dahlias, tulips, and garden roses. You’ll also want to provide filler items like fern fronds, hosta leaves, and blooming branches. Prep the flowers by taking them one at a time and removing all of the leaves but the one closest to the bloom. Separate the different types of blooms and different colors and present them laid out on top of a long table so they are easy to see and collect.
Think outside the “vase” for containers for creative arrangements. Tea cups, coffee tins, old toy trucks, pitchers, and antique boxes are some fun ideas. If you’re going for a more traditional feel, provide offerings from bud vases to larger contemporary cube-style vases. Some of your guests may feel more comfortable creating something small and simple while others will prefer to go all out and let their creativity shine. There is no right or wrong with the arrangements guests will come up with! A simple online search for “easy Mother’s Day flower arrangements” can also provide some welcome inspiration.
