What is a flower bar at a bridal shower? ›

A flower bar at a bridal shower lets guests create their own flower arrangements for a fun activity that's also a memorable thank you favor.

A Flower Bar is usually a private event that can be held in a private or public space. A small-medium group of people gather around large tables, in a fun setting, to create flower arrangements that they ultimately take home.

These could include but are not limited to; Roses, Zinnias, Cosmos, Sunflowers, Strawflowers, Dahlias, Asters, Carnations, Daisies.

Depending on what your flower bar includes, remember to include scissors, floral tape, ribbon, flower food packets, and brown craft paper or tissue paper to wrap the stems. Be creative and have hangtags or stickers made, thanking your guests for celebrating you!

Those who are hosting the shower are responsible for paying for the shower costs. This might include venue costs, the hosts' gifts, decorations, food, beverages, and other event expenses.

How long does it take to press flowers? Depending on what plant you are pressing and the drying conditions, it can take from just a couple of days to a few weeks for your specimen to dry completely. The specimen is ready once it no longer feels damp. The dried plant may be quite brittle, so be careful when moving it.

Prepare the flower for pressing by placing it between two sheets of absorbent paper. Flatten the flower with a heavy book first, then place the paper and flowers on a small tabletop ironing board ($15, Target) then press the warm iron on top of the upper sheet of paper for 10 to 15 seconds.

The most basic and frequently used triadic combinations are the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow) and the secondary hues (green, purple and orange). Generally, triadic colour schemes are vibrant, even if you use pale versions of your hues.

Creams, blush, pink, and peach are flower industry staples for a reason. These shades bring out petal texture, allude to softness, and inspire a feeling of romance and sweetness. That said, tossing in some lavenders, pale greens, and yellow will always feel natural and cohesive.

"The Don'ts"

Don't combine flowers which do not naturally blend well. Consider the morphology, texture, as well as the color. For example, bold, angular, shiny tropical flowers such as bird of paradise do not blend well with softer, delicate, ruffled flowers such as sweet peas.

Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese art of arranging flowers. The practice, which roughly translates to “making flowers come alive,” uses carefully selected blossoms, greenery and other flora to convey a specific feeling or emotion to an observer – just as a painting or sculpture might.
