How to Set Up a Bouquet Bar
Your parties just got 10x more fun.
If you’re the kind of person who loves a fancy party but also loves keeping it simple, this one’s for you.
A bouquet bar is an easy way to elevate a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday, or backyard get-together. It’s interactive, it smells amazing, and it doubles as décor and a take-home gift. Your guests get to play with flowers, and a week later they’re still smiling when those blooms are sitting pretty on their kitchen counter.
We can help you. It’s easy.
Why a Bouquet Bar Works
• Flowers instantly elevate the atmosphere
• It gives guests something fun to do
• It replaces party favors with something meaningful and beautiful
• Local flowers are picked at their peak and last about a week, so the joy lingers
• Every guest leaves feeling like you really know how to throw a party
How to Set Up a Bouquet Bar
1. Start with Lulu’s Blooms Bulk Flower Buckets
Lulu’s Blooms DIY Bulk Flower Buckets include 50–70 stems of fresh, in-season blooms grown right here on the farm.
Available July through September, when the garden is at its best.
One bucket will make:
• 4–6 mason jar arrangements, or
• 8–10 small hand-tied bouquets
Perfect for showers, girls’ nights, or other special occasions
2. Group Like Flowers Together
Keep it simple for your guests.
Place the same flower varieties together in buckets or jars—all the zinnias together, all the snapdragons together, all the greenery in one spot. This makes it easy to grab, mix, and build a bouquet.
Floral tip: leave the flowers long. Guests can trim at home if they want.
3. Set the Scene
• A long table, kitchen island, or outdoor buffet table
• Buckets or pitchers filled with water
• A few pairs of flower snips (or clean scissors)
• Craft paper or simple bouquet sleeves
• Twine or ribbon for tying
This setup alone becomes part of your party décor.
4. Wrap It Up
Once guests create their bouquets, let them wrap them in:
• Kraft paper
• Simple white paper
Tie with twine, ribbon, or whatever you already have on hand.
5. Sit Back and Watch the Smiles
Guests light up when they realize they get to take flowers home. Conversations start. Phones come out. People linger a little longer.
And for the next week, every time those flowers are sitting on their counter, they’ll think of your party and how fun it was.
A Few Extra Hosting Tips
• Put out a little sign that says: “Build a bouquet to take home”
• Start the bouquet bar once everyone has arrived—it becomes a natural activity break
• Don’t stress about perfection; loose, garden-style flowers are meant to feel relaxed
• Flowers + coffee or champagne = instant joy
If you love entertaining and creating moments that feel elevated but effortless, a bouquet bar is your move.
Beautiful flowers. Happy guests. Zero party favor clutter.
