With spring in the air, bridal showers, baby showers, and any excuse for a garden party are around the corner.

I don’t know if it’s the British roots in me, but I LOVE a tea party. Setting a beautiful table, eating ALL the pastries, and hanging out with the girls. So fun. Heck, I might even throw on a fascinator (yep, I own TWO).

If you’re hosting a tea party and need some ideas for tea party flowers, keep reading. I have my own little DIY tutorial that is so easy and simple to do, you’ll be able to knock it out no prob. (And then I have more floral arrangement ideas too!)

TEA PARTY FLOWERS:

STEP 1:

Head to your local flower store and pick up some stems.

I am the first to admit that I am NOT a florist. I barely know the names of anything, and really just grab things that I think look pretty.

I like to keep it simple and budget-friendly. For this arrangement I grabbed two different types of greenery (a few stems of each), plus a couple of beautiful white roses.

STEP 2:

Using wet floral foam is amazing for two reasons. First is that it makes it way easier to arrange flowers because it keeps them in place, and secondly it keeps the flowers stay fresh longer. Pop over to the full post to see which one I think is the best!

STEP 3:

Cut your floral foam into whatever size is going to fit your vessel. It cuts like butter, and you can cut it into whatever shape you might need. Always do a test to make sure it fits your vessel. I’ve had these white lace planters from IKEA forever. They are cheap, pretty, and are perfect for creating a tea party look!

For STEP 4: There is a step that a lot of people forget when it comes to using floral foam and how to get it properly wet. For that, you can h op over to the full blog post to see my tips.

THEN...see how I went from simple grocery store cut flowers to this perfect tea party inspired arrangement! It really is so simple!
