Sweet and Traditional
If you receive beautiful roses or a
bouquet of sweet mixed blooms such as snapdragons, alstroemeria oradorable daisies, consider setting them in a pretty tea pot. If you
are hosting a brunch you could even consider taking the bouquet
apart, trimming the stems, and displaying your flowers on a vintage
cake stand. A cake display, a cookie jar, a pitcher, anything you can
make watertight is an option.
Modern Elegance
For bouquets with a more modern edge,
such as a monochromatic display of lilies or calla lilies, get creative
with clear plastic boxes, simple rectangular containers that have
clean lines, and consider containers with metallic finishes such as
gold or silver.
Boho Chic
If you love “shabby chic” design,
displaying your bouquet in a watering can, tin pail, bird cage or
bucket is a great way to reinforce your theme. Hydrangeas and daisies would be well suited to this kind of look. In the spring,
even a pair of pretty rain boots makes a creative container!
Divide and Conquer
Another wonderful way to display your
flowers is to separate the bouquet into a series of smaller bud
vases, wine glasses, tea cups or anything else that appeals to you. The best flowers for this would be spray roses or gerberas.
Edible Inspiration
Another kitchen-inspired way to display
your flowers involves using food items. Set a smaller vase, a
watertight, cleaned-out soup can, or any other watertight container
inside a watermelon or pumpkin and you have instant “wow” factor!
Add slices of lemon or lime to a clear vase, pitcher or other clear
container to add a designer look to your bouquet for a low budget. Any bright vibrant blooms would work best for this design!
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box! A quick search around your kitchen or home can yield amazing new ways to make your flowers fit your taste and personality, and amplify the beauty of your bouquet.
