Whether you embellish them with ribbon, twine, burlap, or paint, this repurposed rustic chic look will surely liven up your outdoor atmosphere. Your friends and family will love marveling over your originality and appreciate the time and effort you took to create artistic works to hold magnificent florals.
Add a Monochromatic Statement Piece
Our favorite way to add a burst of marvelous color while still keeping your décor sophisticated, minimalistic, and modern is with one monochromatic floral arrangement. This eye-catching statement piece will be admired by guests as they marvel over the mix and variety of blooms that share the same color to create one sleek and clean design. As the hit of your backyard bash, this singular “wow factor” will bring the whole look and feel of your atmosphere together and elevate the rest of your décor.
Hang Seasonal Flowers
Embrace the natural allure of your backyard and enhance it by hanging a variety of mini floral arrangements from hooks and tree branches. Displaying a single stem in a glass jar or a few blooms in a bud vase will ensure an ideal design with varying shapes, styles, colors, and heights. String up some lights or café bulbs and give your creative decor a romantic glow as soon as the sun begins to set. Your friends and family will love the uniqueness of your backyard décor and admire the seasonal flowers from above.
Incorporate Eclectic Bud Vases
Some of the most versatile décor pieces are bud vases. As they offer an array of sizes, shapes, colors, and styles, they create a unique and eclectic look. From rustic and vintage to artistic and chic, filling these small glass bottles can fit seamlessly into almost any theme. Choose a variety of flowers and scatter the vases among guest tables, carefully arrange them in an asymmetrical pattern down long tables, or place them in a cluster in the center for a creative focal piece.
