  • Floral Wall
    If you want the perfect spot for your guest to pose in front of, then create a floral wall. You can do this by attaching bundles of wildflowers in a grid-like pattern on a wall or wooden backdrop. Another option is to use real or paper flowers to completely cover up the wall.

  • Hanging Flowers
    Add some hanging wildflowers throughout your venue to add a whimsical touch to your shower. To make this decoration, just take a long length of clear fishing cord and tie some flowers through it. Another option is to use a DIY Floating Flower Kit. A great place to hang these flowers would be over your buffet or present table.

  • Wildflower Iceballs
    Use a Round Ice Mold to create floral spheres that can be used to cool down your drinks. To make them, just cut the heads off of whatever flowers you want to use, place them in your ice mold, fill the mold with water, and then freeze. To truly customize this decorative drink display, use a Custom Galvanized Drink Tub to store the drinks and iceballs in.
