FLOWERS AND ACCESSORIES....FAVOR MUST HAVES

Flowers and Accessories...two fabulous elements that should be included in every favor or centerpiece design.  So...what makes these elements so fabulous, well, flowers can be bright, bold, calming and just down right beautiful.  There are so many different types of flowers, different colors and arrangements that you can use within your designs.  They are the most appreciated decoration on any favor or centerpiece.  The great thing to remember about flowers is that the colors represent so many feelings and emotions that will ultimately give you the theme of your event like love, friendship and purity to name a few.  But unlike big flower centerpieces where it may be a great choice to use real flowers, when you are doing favors you obviously want to use the smaller miniatures flowers. Yes, these flowers may be artificial but they still have the same impact just without the wonderful fragrances.  Miniature artificial flowers come in many many different colors and types like the miniature ribbon roses which can be made out of any kind of ribbon or bought pre-made. The real size single roses are sometimes made of polyester, paper, nylon or silk. You also have the poly rose, acrylic flowers, the satin organza flower and more. They also range in colors like blue, purple, red, yellow, apple green, fuchsia, orange and of course white.  You can use any of these flowers in designs for centerpieces, baby or bridal shower favors and other special events and occasions.  These flowers may be artificial but definitely a beautiful alternative to using real flowers and can save you money. 

Now, for those glamor lovers that want the shiny, sparkling accessories...bezel, gems stones, and acrylic shapes are definitely for you.  That's right, just like those adorable bezels that you put on phones, clothes and just about anything you can think of.  If you want to add sparkle, creativity and sass to your design this is the way to go.  When arranged the right way like around the base, to line the top or edge, even to create a letter initial, they can make any favor or centerpiece look like millions.  There's a great variety of shapes and sizes like your standard circles, ovals, stars, crosses, butterflies and more.  With the many colors to choose from it's almost impossible to not find a coordinating color for your design.  These accessories and embellishments look great when they are laid on top of a beautiful satin ribbon.  And if you don't have time to glue these on they also have the self adhesive ones if your pressed for time.  Just remember when you are creating your favors, centerpieces or other decorations, make sure you incorporate flowers and accessories into your creations because these elements help to enhance your theme and overall design.

So what's next on the decor list? Try adding some Tulle.
