The latest '70s-inspired trend to hit the wedding world is both whimsical and romantic. Fresh and pressed wildflowers are set to pop up at weddings & bridal showers like flowers in a country field. Wildflowers can be used in so many unique ways to create an earthy, laid back picnic vibe. Pressed flower wedding details are also a wonderful way of bringing Mother Nature indoors, especially if you are not able to have an alfresco celebration. From cakes, to place settings and favors, you'll love our chic & stylish ideas for incorporating both fresh & dried wildflowers into your bridal shower.
A FIELD OF FLOWERS
Start with a natural table runner made from Kraft Paper Roll on a crisp white table. I love the contrast of the natural paper against the bright and beautiful blooms.
In the center of the table place a DIY Wildflower Table Sign, "Wild at Heart". Learn how to make one here.
If you are looking to get even more creatively involved in your shower preparations, drying the pretty papery blooms to use in the sign is also an easy DIY. The process is simple: Choose your favorite flowers or wildflower blooms that will feature on your table and place them between two pieces of parchment paper. Leave them under a heavy book for 7-10 days. Once all the moisture is gone, and they have a papery texture, they are ready to use.
At each end of the table paint small Ceramic DIY Mini Flower Bowls pink and fill them with dried flowers, the color and scent of the dried flowers is amazing and adds to the country field experience for guests.
Next fill Pink Bulb Shape Bud Vases and Pink Glass Bud Vases with pretty wildflower blooms and place them down the center of the table, further creating a field of flowers experience for guests.
GARNISH PLACE SETTINGS
Start each place setting with a garnish, a stunning DIY Wildflower Charger. Get all the steps to create both a unique bridal charger and matching floral chargers for each of the shower guests.
Layer the setting, starting with a Rose Gold Bridal Shower Paper Dinner Plate and finishing with a White Plastic Dessert Plates with Vintage Trim. Pair the setting with matching a Rose Gold Bridal Shower Luncheon Napkin and Premium Metallic Rose Gold Plastic Cutlery Set.
Kraft Paper Thank You Cards are also a lovely touch to add to a place setting, add a personal message to your guests that they are sure to love.
It wouldn't be a bridal shower with bubbles! Serve up the champagne in a Premium Plastic Champagne Flute and place on a DIY Wildflower Coaster. Made with pressed flowers this personalized coaster doubles as a beautiful take home favor.
SHEER FLORAL BACKDROP
Create a dreamy backdrop and focal point for your bridal shower cake or desserts. Learn how to make this delicate and whimsical DIY Wildflower Backdrop.
One of my favorite ways to bring wildflowers into your shower celebration is by using dried and pressed edible flowers on your cake. Even better, unlike fresh edible flowers you can add pressed flowers to a cake a day in advance.
Use Blush Draping Fabric Roll on the cake table, the soft draping fabric pairs with the backdrop perfectly. Then place the cake on a White Ceramic Cake Stand and use a Boho Floral Crown with Lavender Accents around the base.
A floral crown can also be used to enhance the Kraft Paper Card Box, another whimsical touch that brings the country field indoors.
Use Kraft Paper Scalloped Edge Favor Boxes for guest favors. Fill them with dried flowers or petals for a fragrant take home gift. Tie the boxes with Raffia Ribbon and tuck a small lavender or green stem under the ribbon.
Both the card box and the favor boxes tie in perfectly with the Kraft table runners and retain the natural look & feel of the whole celebration.
A beautiful celebration for the Wild at Heart!
