Emerald Events’ simple guide to DIY floral arrangements

These vintage bottles and vases make a beautiful floral arrangement
Create a collection of vases on your table—you can line them up or make a more circular, random collection. Try to choose ones that have a theme in terms of colour, shape, or style is best. Ceramics with organic shapes are having a moment, and another of our favourite options is glass bottles in all shapes and sizes, or vintage tins in a range of colours.

Enjoy the process of creating personal, unique floral arrangements

We love an endless supply of floral inspiration…
Fill your table of vases with large, voluminous blooms like peonies, hydrangeas, or lilacs. The narrower the top of the vase, the larger and wider the bloom should be to help fill it out and match scale.

Make sure to add greenery and foliage to your flowers for texture and volume
Step 3:
To soften the arrangements, add in some airy, textural greens and foliage like delicate ferns or coin eucalyptus. The greenery adds dimension and volume. Our favourite option is adding a hint of delphinium and/or myrtle. So pretty!

Place a single bloom or tiny bouquet to a place setting
Step 4:
Set the table, making sure to add personal touches like a menu, if you have one, and a fresh bloom to each setting. It really helps to tie the whole look and table together.

Candles are the perfect way to add an intimate and close vibe
Step 5:
Want a soft glow and intimate vibe? Layer in candles amongst the flowers on the table. Even if it’s a daytime event, flickering candlelight adds warmth and ambiance.

Hand-drawn place cards and menus add a personal touch
Adding personalized, thoughtful touches will make your guests feel welcome and seen. DIY touches like calligraphy guest names at each place setting adds style and helps your guests easily find their seats.
