I'm hosting my sister's bridal shower in March. I have a cute idea of using tall thin glass vases, lining them with wide green leaves and placing one or two simple green and pink roses or daisies in each one. Have you seen a really cute, simple flower decoration that you liked? I would really appreciate some other ideas. Pictures and/or links would be greatly appreciated.
Have any ideas for beautiful, simple bridal shower flower arrangements?
I love your idea. Check out www.theknot.com. They have TONS of pictures of flower arrangements, from simple to extravagant. They also have a section for bridesmaids/maids of honor that is really helpful for planning a shower.
Another arrangement I saw that was beautiful and simple was a tall, thin glass vase with a single stem of flowers in it, filled to the top with water (with the flower submerged in the water), and a floating candle on top. It was very simple yet beautiful and elegant.
Reply:Your idea is nice. My only suggestion would be to not make the arrangements too tall. It's quite annoying when you're talking to the person sitting across from you yet you can't see them because of the center piece.
Reply:I have always liked the idea of using crystal as vases. You can group several of varying sizes or styles together on a table with a single blossom or just a few. Martha Stewart magazine has always given me such good ideas. You could check her website. Champagne flutes, apertif and wine goblets, old glass bottles were often tall and age in subtle shades of aqua and blue. Or you can get tall thin glasses at a hobby store.
I don't know what part of the country you live in, but there are some very nice lacey things that grow as wildflowers that could be used. Queen Anne's Lace is nice, and a walk through the early spring woods might give you some ideas. Bridal Wreath (spyria?) would be nice, as well as wild almond.
Good luck. I am sure it will be beautiful.
Reply:At my niece's bridal shower, the maid of honor used mason jars, with a piece of printed material torn into strips and glued this around the top of the jar. Over this, she tied a piece of raffia into a bow. She filled each jar with wild flowers. They were very inexpensive and looked so cute. Everyone got to take one home with them. I still use mine as a vase.
Reply:Maybe just stick a single rose in each. It's simple and yet fairly elegant.
Reply:Go to weddingchannel.com or the knot.com they have tons of pictures.

I thought that link had a cute idea.
What is she using as a main flower for her wedding? You may want to coordinate that but only use a single flower in each vase, or you can buy white roses and put some food coloring in a spray bottle and spritz the roses different colors. Or do a cookie on a stick in the vases so it's a favor and a decoration.
