Fiesta Flowers!

This weekend we’re hosting our first annual progressive supper in our neighborhood! This year it's a Fiesta. In preparation, I wanted to share some of my party prep tips! Having been out of town this week I needed to quickly find some Mexican flare to add to the house. 

A quick and easy way to add flare is with flowers. First, pick up some flowers from your local grocery store or flower shop. You will want to get two larger flowers that will serve as your “thrillers.” In addition, grab some smaller flowers that will serve as your “fillers.”  To tie in with the Mexican themed I chose to go with bright colored flowers including Sunflowers and red Daisys.  Next, stop by the grocery and grab some canned (yes, cans) Mexican vegetables, beans, etc. These cans will serve as your vases. Vary the can sizes to add some dimension. Plan on having some Mexican food that evening as to not waste the food. A nacho appetizer is a good way to use this canned food. Post nachos you can use the empty cans for your vases.

Fill the now empty vegetable and bean cans with water. I always start with my largest flower first, followed by the daisy, and then compete the arrangement with the fillers. You may have to play around with the flowers to get them just right but this is a simple and easy way to add some flare to your party whether it be a dinner for four or gathering for forty. 

Once you’re finished you have some adorable arrangements ready for your party. With hardly any effort, you have the perfect centerpiece for your fiesta! Pour yourself a Margarita and enjoy! Stay tuned for more progressive supper details.
