Party planning is a lot like designing a party dress. Like a dress, a party must be made with the appropriate materials (menu, location, guest list) tailored to the occasion (theme) and topped off with the perfect finishing touches. We call these finishing touches, "party sequins". Like a sequin, thoughtful decoration details add an unexpected lustre to an otherwise ordinary event.
We recently stumbled upon a charming party sequin idea at ABeachCottage.com. The idea is as simple as it is lovely: hanging glass bottles with flowers in them from twine as party decor. We instantly fell in love with this since we always try to incorporate creative details like this into our party decor.
Putting these pretty hanging bottles together is very simple...
Here's what you will need...
- twine
- vintage glass bottles (you can pick these up at your local swap meet)
- fresh cut flowers
- scissors
Instructions
- Measure and cut twine according to the height of the area you will be hanging the bottles from. We think hanging them at or slightly below eye level is most effective. Make sure you leave a little extra slack - about 8 inches on each end - for tying.
- Tie one end of the twine onto the neck of the bottle.
- Fill the bottle with as much water as you like. We think it looks best when you vary the amount from bottle to bottle.
- Cut and place your flower into the bottle. We love the idea of mixing different types of flowers, but keeping them all the same colour.
- Hang the flowered bottles from a sturdy beam or slat.
Whether you're planning a big party or a simple brunch, these hanging bottle will add the perfect touch of pretty to any event.
If you decide to give this party sequin idea a try post a picture to our Facebook page - we'd love to see how the turned out!
