1. Floating Florals

Add a magical ambiance to your tablescape, entryway or any other part of your event space with vessels of floating flowers topped with candles. This display is unique, yet surprisingly easy to make as it only requires a hurricane candle holder, several flower buds and a votive candle. An inexpensive trick to making the candle float is cutting out a small circle of bubble wrap and attaching it to the bottom of the candle! Another option is to purchase floating candles that have the ability to float on their own.

2. Floral Frames

Floral frames are inexpensive to make and are the perfect photo moment activation. If your frame is light enough, you can even leave it detached from the wall so your guests can use it as a photo prop to hold instead! Flower frames can come in many varieties; you can customize your frame based on color, shape, and floral type. Round floral frames are great to utilize when a brand’s logo is circular where square floral frames are great to use when you are utlizing them as photo booth props.

3. Floral Champagne Bucket

This adorable, Pinterest-perfect decoration is intuitive and easy to create. All you need is an ice bucket, a bag of ice, small flowers, ice trays, and H2O! The night before your event - whether it’s a chic garden party or cocktail soirée - freeze small blooms with water in an ice cube tray (we recommend the 2” size). Right before the event, fill your floral ice bucket up with a bag of plain ice, and then sprinkle the top with your pretty floral ice cubes. Rest a pink bottle of champagne or Prosecco on top to chill.

4. Flower Crowns For Your Guests

Flower crowns are a fun, feminine, and interactive feature to include in your event. Include a table full of floral head wreaths near the entrance of your event so each guest can grab one as they enter the event. This event addition is a great way to encourage guests to share photos and create buzz around your event! Check out our featured (easy) DIY flower crown tutorial on Soul Cycle’s blog. If a fower headpiece is not your cup of tea, you can incorporate flowers into other jewelry elements. Our fresh floral accessories line is a great way to activate an event. From custom floral cuffs and rings to fresh flower necklaces and earrings - there is an accessory type to fit every personality.

5. Hanging Floral Installation

Like floral frames, large scale hanging installations make for impressive Instagrammable backdrops. Whether you are activating the entrance of and event or just a portion of the space, a floral hanging installation can help separate your room for a multi-dimensional feel. A hanging installation transforms the typical ‘statement piece’ into a jaw-dropping wow moment. Your hanging floral structure can be as dense or as sparse as you’d like. For a delicate aesthetic, think about stringing single blooms with monofilament line to create an elegant garland. Hanging florals - not matter how large or how small - help create a whimsical and memorable atmosphere.

6. Greenery Walls

Incorporating a greenery wall into your event will freshen up your event’s aesthetic and provide an ethereal ambiance. A custom floral wall allows you to incorporate your company’s branding in a unique and clever way. You can also coordinate your flower arrangements, floral decorations, and additional event décor items so that your design is cohesive.

Enhance your next event by incorporating one (or multiple!) of these ideas into your design. From floating florals to hanging installations, incorporating florals in a unique way will leave your guests buzzing about the event long after it's over and create ample, shareable social media coverage!
