DIY Bloom Bar at Burlap & Lace Market & Coffee Bar

Host a DIY Bloom Bar

Flowers have a unique way of brightening up any occasion. A "Bloom Bar" – a DIY flower arranging station – not only adds a touch of beauty to your event but also offers a fun and interactive activity for your guests. Here's how you can host your own bloom bar and make your next gathering memorable.




Step 1: Plan Your Bloom Bar



1. Choose a Theme or Color Scheme:

   - Decide on a theme or color palette for your bloom bar. This will help in selecting flowers and decorations that complement each other.

   - Popular themes include rustic, bohemian, vintage, or seasonal themes like spring or fall.



2.  Select a Suitable Location:

   - Find a spacious area where guests can comfortably move around and arrange their flowers.

   - Ensure there’s enough lighting and a flat surface for the flower arranging station.



 Step 2: Gather Supplies



1. Flowers:

   - Source a variety of fresh flowers in different shapes, sizes, and colors.

   - Include popular blooms like roses, tulips, daisies, lillies and seasonal flowers.



2. Greenery and Fillers:

   - Add greenery such as eucalyptus, ferns, and other foliage to complement the flowers.

   - Include fillers like baby’s breath or lavender for added texture.



3. Tools and Materials:

   - Scissors or floral shears for cutting stems.

   - Floral tape and wire for securing arrangements.

   - Vases, jars, or other containers for the final arrangements. We love these kraft paper holders that make carrying functional. 

   - Buckets of water to keep flowers fresh.

   - Ribbons, twine, or other decorative elements.





Step 3: Set Up the Bloom Bar



1. Arrange the Flowers:

   - Organize the flowers and greenery by type and color in buckets or containers.

   - Label each type of flower to help guests identify them easily.



2. Prepare the Workstation:

   - Set up a long table covered with a protective tablecloth or butcher paper.

   - Place the tools and materials within easy reach.

   - Provide small containers or vases for guests to take their arrangements home.



3. Add Decorative Touches:

   - Decorate the bloom bar area with signs, banners, or fairy lights to create a welcoming atmosphere.

   - Provide example arrangements for inspiration.





  4: Host the Bloom Bar



1. Welcome Your Guests:

   - Greet your guests and explain the concept of the bloom bar.

   - Provide a brief demonstration on how to arrange flowers, including tips on balancing colors and textures.



2. Encourage Creativity:

   - Encourage guests to experiment with different combinations and have fun with their creations.

   - Offer assistance and suggestions as needed.



3. Enjoy the Process:

   - Play some background music to enhance the atmosphere.

   - Offer refreshments or snacks to keep the energy up.





Step 5: Capture the Memories



1. Take Photos:

   - Set up a photo booth or designated area for guests to take pictures with their arrangements.

   - Capture candid moments of guests creating their bouquets.



2. Share on Social Media:

   - Create a unique hashtag for your event and encourage guests to share their creations online.

   - Post your own photos and experiences to inspire others to host their own bloom bar.


Conclusion



Hosting a bloom bar is a delightful way to add a touch of elegance and creativity to any event. By following these steps, you can create a memorable experience that your guests will cherish. Happy arranging!
