When Greek recruitment season comes around, every sorority wants to find the perfect details to perfect their recruitment events. You will be looking for decorations which complement your sorority flowers, colors and badge. Wedding & Party Network was inspired by the first detail – the sorority flowers – and decided to find some creative ways you can incorporate them into your recruitment decorations. So, enjoy our top picks for creative flower centerpieces.
Thinking Inside the Vase
Sometimes it's difficult to find the perfect vase for your flower arrangement. What if we told you it didn't matter? Take 2 or 3 of your sorority's flowers and find a large glass bowl or vase, preferably one with rounded sides like a fish bowl. Curl the flowers and their stems inside of the bowl, choosing different angles and directions. As simple as that, you've created a modern take on the classic flowers in a vase.
Petal Table Runner
Instead of searching for a table runner with the perfect shade to match your decorations, order a dozen of your sorority flowers and remove each individual petal. Scatter them down the center of your table – if it’s rectangular – or around a candle centerpiece on circular tables. Now you have an elegant and simple centerpiece.
Vintage Bottle Vases
Search flea markets, decorating stores, or even check with your local florist to find vintage-inspired bottles. Place a single flower in it for a retro-chic feel. Plus, you could find bottles to match your sorority colors.
Time for Tea Flower Pot
Find a tea set that matches your decor. You can use the teapot as a vase and then turn each teacup into a candle holder using your crafting skills – or these easy diy instructions. This would be perfect for garden themed recruitment events.
Reinvent the Wineglass
Separate your sorority flower from its stem. Then take a wine glass or other glass stemware and place it upside-down over the bloom. You will have an elegant display for you flower, plus the glass’ base can serve as a unique candle holder for a tea light candle.
Underwater Flowers
This will have to be prepared as close to time for your recruitment event as possible. Take a few flowers from a bouquet of your sorority’s flowers and place them in a vase. Fill the vase completely with water and then top it off with a floating candle or decorative lid. Ask your local florist if you are unsure how the flower’s petals will react to complete submersion.
There you have it, 5 easy centerpieces which you can use to incorporate your sorority's flower. The best part is that they can each be personalized to match your recruitment theme and sorority, placing the creation of the perfect recruitment party in your hands. Hope you feel inspired!
