Fun flowers for an elegant affair

Elegant parties are a lot of fun. Of course, they do require quite a bit of planning if you want to get everything just right. You need to consider several aspects including the dress code, the menu, types of drinks and the décor, of course. You will need to make sure that the venue is decorated appropriately in order to reflect the elegant nature of the event. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot enjoy fun flowers as part of your décor.

The right types of flowers

The types of flowers and the colours you choose will depend on event itself. For example, if you are hosting a Valentine’s Day dinner, the décor will be very different from that of a birthday party. You can choose from a variety of fun flowers for any event. Just make sure that you keep it simple. The best way of creating elegant displays is by keeping them as simple as possible.

Shoe vases

The theme of the party will also help you determine which fun flowers are best. For instance, you can host a bachelorette party and decorate each table with flowers arranged in stiletto high heels. Make sure that your shoes are all lined with plastic before placing wet floral foam inside to hold the flowers. You don’t need to use expensive shoes either. You can shop around for discounted shoes and use one on each table. So, one pair of shoes will create two centrepieces. Choose the colour of shoes based on the colour scheme of the event. If you want something neutral, stick to black or silver. White may go unnoticed. As for the flowers, you should fill your shoes with elegant blooms like roses, orchids or even gardenias. Make sure that the colours of the blooms contrast with that of the vase.

Handbag vases

Another great option is to use old purses or small handbags to hold flowers. Again, you will need to line the bag with plastic before placing wet floral foam inside. Add your flowers and make sure that the stems are tall enough to protrude through the top of the bag.

As you can see, there are some great fun flowers and flower arrangement ideas that you can use at your next elegant event. While some blooms are considered to be more elegant than others, the real touch of class comes into the equation when selecting your vase.
