Pocket-sized Pretties { Mini Bouquets }

By The Celebration Team 11 Jul, 2013

Just like less is more, smaller is often bigger! Mini bouquets can make a brilliant statement and put a lovely spin on the traditional skyscraper arrangements. As with all things small, they instantly steal one’s heart – whether you use them as table arrangements or give them to your guests as favours, these mini pretties are guaranteed to go down with a smile.

When choosing the flowers for your bouquets, you either have the option of filling the mini vase with a number of small and delicate flowers, or opting for one single bigger flower such as a rose, carnation or lily. Now, please try to contain your excitement when you see the following creative container ideas *wink:

Arrange freshly picked flowers in an assortment of vintage teacups or use the cups as mini pot plant holders for herbs or succulents.
Keep an eye out for ceramic or wooden egg cups and use these lovelies as mini vases.
Fold paper cones and fill them with all kinds of pretty blossoms.
Collect a variety of glass bottles, in all shapes and sizes, arrange your flowers inside and group the together on the tables.
Put Grandma’s old coloured tumblers and wine glasses to good use!
Create a striking centre piece by grouping differently shaped white ceramic vases together.
Plant succulents or dainty house flowers in mini terracotta pot plant holders.
Make a hole in a wine cork and pop a single flower or mini succulent inside.
Ask your mommy friends to help you collect baby food jars and use them as vases.
Collect old fashioned wooden cotton spindles and pop a flower in the hole. Make sure you use flowers or succulents that can last a day without water.
Instead of merely arranging the vases in a little group, tie them together with twine or place them on a cake stand or plate.
