What is a Flower Bar?
A flower bar is a station often used for special events. It is presented as a variety of flowers separated and organized into sections. It is used for creating a custom flower arrangement or bouquet.
A flower bar also includes greenery and accent florals. It is popular to visit one on special occasions like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.
DIY Bridal Shower Flower Bar
If you are planning to DIY a flower bar you will need a bunch of flowers from a garden or leftovers from an event.
The first thing you will need are small containers or buckets and small clear plastic bags. Place a piece of oasis planting cube (wet) inside the clear plastic bag and place it at the bottom of the container. Then cut flowers and stick them into the oasis.
We want to add our own twist to the DIY flower bar concept. If you cannot afford to use real flowers, then you could get a variety of florals from the dollar store and separate them into different containers.
Just use a foam block to keep the arrangement together instead of the oasis. all you will need are wire cutters to be able to separate the flowers.
How to use a flower bar?
Guests will simply get a container and pick and arrange their bouquets how they want. It could be as big or small as they like.
Bridal Shower Flower Bar Ideas
A flower bar or a flower station is a great idea for a garden-themed bridal shower. There are several ways you could accomplish this. You could DIY it as we mentioned before or you could have a florist or flower truck lead the activity.
If you decide to go with a florist of flowers you will need to pay for the flowers upfront. Contact your local florist to see if they have travel flower bar services available.
After Flower Bar
After the flower bar, there are so many ways you could utilize the flowers in the future. The first way is to have bridal shower guests take their bouquets home as a bridal shower favor.
If you are hosting an event around Mother’s day or Valentine’s Day, then they could use these as gifts to give to loved ones for them to enjoy.
The last way you could utilize the bouquets created is by seeing which ones the bridal party and the bride like and using them as inspiration for their wedding bouquets.
If you are using fake flowers then they could be used for the wedding day because you do not have to worry about maintenance.
