Spring Holiday Floral Decorating
Ideas
- Decorate your brunch table with votive candles interspersed
among several vases of spring blooms. Guests can each take
home a small vase as a party favor.
- Surprise your guests with corsages and boutonnieres to
wear to religious services.
- Line your entryway with beautiful blooming spring plants.
A wreath of spring flowers on your front door is a fabulous
finishing touch.
- Decorate each place setting at your table with a different
flower variety. Include each variety in a vase for your
table centerpiece.
- Garnish hors d'oeuvre trays with spring flowers.
- Ask your florist to make a design in a teapot or a cluster
of teacups. Or place a small bloom on each saucer when serving
tea.
- Fill a traditional wicker basket with mixed spring flowers
to use as a centerpiece. Or place blooms among the eggs
in your Easter basket. For a charming effect place smaller
baskets and candles next to the flowers. This can also be
done with clay pots.
