Celebrating Spring



The bright blossoms and refreshing colors of spring simply beg for a girly get-together. Soft shades of blue and green create a clean and airy palette.

Centerpiece

Transform everyday sun hats and handbags into centerpieces using seasonal flowers and Oasis® floral foam. Invert a sun hat in a traditional trifle bowl, placing a plastic liner inside the hat. Place wet foam inside the liner, and arrange flowers of varying heights and colors. To create a purse centerpiece, follow the same steps as for the sun hat, making sure to place a liner inside the purse before arranging flowers in the wet foam.

Place Setting

Layered white dishes on a soft blue place mat set the stage for this graceful napkin and place card ensemble. Cut fresh spring flowers, and tuck into the small pocket created by the napkin fold. Guests will be delighted to see their names on charming butterfly and songbird place cards, folded to rest atop their mini bouquets

Party Favor

Cute and clever, these reusable drink stickers are a great way to welcome guests, and they make a fun party favor. Personalize wineglasses with guests’ initials to prevent mismatched drinks. At the end of the party, guests can take home a set of their own.
