Whether it’s a wedding, a fundraising dinner, or even just a party with friends and family at home, along with the guest list, food, drinks, and entertainment, you will need to think about the decorations. For any type of celebration, flowers are a popular choice and it is easy to see why. They look and smell great. The right flower arrangement can really elevate the whole occasion.
However, there are so many different types of flowers to choose from. Some options are more traditional while others will look fresh and modern, then of course you have to consider things such as whether they are seasonal. This can get confusing, but this guide is here to walk you through the process of picking the right arrangement for your party.
Common Events Which Use Flowers
Flowers add a touch of elegance and beauty to any event, but there are a few celebrations for which they are especially popular. These include:
- Weddings: Flowers are a staple of wedding decoration at both the ceremony venue and the reception. There’s the bridal bouquet, guests’ corsages and boutonnieres, and table centrepieces to think about, and many other decorative uses for flowers besides those. Roses, lilies, and daisies tend to be the most popular wedding flowers, but of course, there is a lot of freedom for the couple to choose their own.
- Anniversaries: Roses and orchids are popular anniversary party decorations and gifts. Similar to a wedding, you might find flowers serving as table centerpieces at an anniversary party. They can also be a great way to decorate a photo area at one or at a wedding.
- Baby showers: Flower bouquets or centerpieces are popular at baby showers, especially ones that are themed around the baby’s gender, such as using blue flowers for boys and pink ones for girls. Neutral colors such as purple and yellow can also look great for those who prefer not to know.
Wherever in the world you are, whether you’re looking for flower delivery in Burwood, NSW or in Tokyo, Japan, it is easy to find florists who will cater for these occasions. But they are by no means the only events that you can use flowers for. A good florist will be able to cater for different and unique events too. There are more tips on how to hire a great florist below.
How to find a great florist
A good florist will help you get the party ready by taking care of the flower arrangements.
- Experience and reputation: Check how long they’ve been around and check out any online reviews. It’s even better if you can speak to somebody who has direct experience with them.
- Ask how often they restock: Florists who hold onto flowers too long might not deliver the freshest blooms.
- Make sure they will deliver to your event location.
Make sure you know where your flowers are really coming from: If you are trying to support small, local businesses, then be extra sure that that is who you are buying from. Some unscrupulous large corporations in Australia have been caught pretending to be local businesses.
It’s gifting season once again! As a mother, aunt, and godmother, I still struggle with finding something on-trend that the teens and twenties in my life will really love, so I went straight to the source. Meet guest curator Clare Daly! She’s a New York-based creative (and my goddaughter!) and I’m so excited to welcome her to the blog.
New to Empty Nesting?
If your recent renter is looking to decorate their new digs, help them say goodbye to the dreaded landlord special. This golden, scalloped Anthropologie switch plate (#3) and the Wayfair mid-century-inspired armchair are perfect to make a starter apartment their very own. The armchair (#10) is available in so many cute colors, and it’s on sale! Add in this sweet sleeping cat lamp (#9) because no one uses the big light these days— it’s all about ambiance.
Whether or not your Gen Zer is new to the kitchen, Shelly Westerhausen Worcel’s Every Season Is Soup Season (#2) couldn’t be an easier gift. The base recipes for everything from quick broths to days-long chilis establish a strong culinary foundation. Worcel’s tips and tricks for freezing and storing will come in clutch when a long day at the office calls for nothing more than a microwave. WFHing? Make a bowl of tomato basil for lunch and rest it on this multi-functional acrylic laptop stand (#15) that blends into any desk setup.
For the Fashion Forward
Your Gen Zer with a heart of gold (…or not) will obsess over Elizabeth Cole’s Nixine Necklace (#1). The evil eye symbol, known for its ability to repel bad vibes, is one of this holiday season’s hottest trends. Accented with Swarovski crystals, the California-designed, Rhode Island-crafted necklace is perfect for warding off the very worst: a gifting faux pas.
Hop on the athleisure train with this Alo Yoga sherpa jacket (#11). Complete with a removable hood, it is an adorably versatile option for heading to the gym, running to class, or anything in between. Designed in neutral colors and sized for layering, the recipient of this gift can make this fuzzy bomber a daily driver in their Fall/Winter wardrobe. Pair it with this Oat Milk tee (#12) and your Gen Zer will never have to remind a barista of their lactose preferences again.
Fellow twenty-something teenage girls, listen up. Work shoes with style do exist! Put these two on-the-pulse pairs on your list. Right. Now.
Sam Edelman Jildies (#14) gives you 4 inches of height and leans into the square-toe Mary Jane Renaissance. Clunky, cute, and classy for under $200. Also, Express just collaborated with iconic shoe designer and social tastemaker Brian Atwood for an affordable take on haute designs. Any pair of Atwood’s are a major slay, but I love these pointed flats (#14) with a silky bow. Translation for moms: These are the grown-up versions of the shoes you made us wear, often kicking and screaming, for every first day of school until we were, like, 12. No, it’s not hypocritical. They’re cute now! Read Nicole’s post about the collab HERE.
Makeup & More
If I could only have two beauty items, I would keep my Merit Beauty Minimalist Stick (#7) and Glossier You fragrance. The Minimalist, true to its name, can replace multiple pieces in your Gen Zer’s makeup bag. Its variety of shades blend into the skin seamlessly—all over, undereye, and on problem spots— and choose a darker shade for a creamy, matte contour. Looking to gift their first signature scent? Glossier You is IT. If you don’t know Glossier by now, I’m convinced you’ve taken up residence under the world’s most soundproof boulder. I digress.
I’d prefer to find my perfect scent on the shelf, instead of painstakingly poring over each element at these so-called “fragrance labs” I keep seeing pop up in New York. Once again, I digress. Gluten-free and vegan with base notes of pink pepper and iris, Glossier’s unisex eau de parfum (#6) (is an amazing experiment in skin chemistry. Spritz or roll it, but don’t rub! Make sure to let it settle in on its own. When the fragrance settles, the base combines with the body for an elevated natural scent unique to the wearer that compliments any outfit or event.
Toys for Totes
One of my go-to gift ideas is to fill something: a water bottle with candy, a basket with grooming essentials, etc. I can never have too many totes, so receiving one that’s sturdy and stylish, like this Baggu (#8), would make my holiday. As for the filling, go for my favorite gifts to get: a vinyl record of the latest Taylor Swift album and the cutest self-care book there is. At the time of publication, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (#5) is still the stuff of “Suburban Legends”. For those who have yet to indoctrinate into the Swiftie persuasion, that’s a vault track on the most recent release. Instagram sensation Maybell Eequay’s inspirational little frog characters have arrived on the page in Little Frog’s Guide to Self-Care (#13). Positive messages, plus the sweetest drawings, what’s not to love? Throw in this Heyday 35mm Film Camera (#16) to capture the other goodies and memorable moments of the holiday season and beyond.

An Easter craft is a great way to get everyone involved in the festivities! You can use anything from construction paper to foam shapes to make decorations for your home or even personalized cards for each other.

Family game time is always a great way to spend quality time together! Try setting up an outdoor scavenger hunt or hide-and-seek around the house and yard; it’ll be sure to bring lots of laughs and smiles! In addition, you can also play some Easter-themed board games like egg roulette or bunny hop.
