floral tips

May and June are always a busy time of year - graduations, bridal events and Memorial Day kickoff the summer party season and shift your social calendar into high gear. Make your spring event even more special with fresh, seasonal flower arrangements. Floral centerpieces add that extra personal touch that makes a party memorable, and it's easy to create a sensational looking table without a lot of fuss or money. With a little creativity and sense of humor, you can create unconventional floral centerpieces that will leave your guests inspried to go home and make their own!

Think Outside the Container.

Almost anything can serve as a vase, so add some whimsy to your floral centerpiece by putting your flower arrangements in an unconventional container. Colorful water pitchers, wine bottles, small garden pots or pails, teapots, mason jars or antique teacups add a funky, fun and festive flair to any spring party.

Or Think Inside the Container.

Fill clear glass or plastic containers, jars or vases with inexpensive and easy-to-find items at your local farm stand or grocery store.

Blueberries, cranberries, red or yellow cherry tomatoes, seashells or colorful marbles. Layer the bottom of your container with the filler and place the flowers on top, or bundle the flowers together with a rubber band, hold them in the center of the vase, and drop the fillers around them.

Colorful Contrasts.

To create a truly dramatic table, pair flowers in contrasting colored vases.

- Yellow flowers in blue vases

- Red flowers in white containers

- Pink flowers in green vases

- Purple flowers in yellow vases

- Blue flowers in red containers

- Yellow flowers in red vases

Here are some other ideas, tips and tricks to keep in mind to create your perfect spring party floral centerpiece:

- Make sure none of your floral centerpieces will block conversation

- Floral bouquets with a variety of flowers do look pretty, but floral centerpieces with only one or two flower varieties have the greatest impact

- Place mirrors under your floral table centerpieces to create a sophisticated, modern look

- A series of small centerpieces at each place setting or clustered in the center of the table are fun, interesting alternatives to one large centerpiece
