Silk Flower Crowns- the bigger, the better!

Hey y'all! I feel like Charleston just keeps getting hotter + hotter, but that's not stopping the bride tribes from getting their flower crown party on! Whoo!

Wanted to drop a few lines about our most recent DIY flower crown party here in The Holy City!

This bride and her girlfriends went with our silk flower option when choosing what kind of party to have! As always, we tried our best to work with a color scheme that was picked by the bride and what was available in store! Since summer is coming to an end, we had LOTS of pinks, oranges and yellows to choose from! We also threw in some hints of purple and whites! ALSO, some cute little butterflies for fun!

  (Did you know we offer BOTH silk and real flower parties? Both options are great to do! Check out some of our previous flower partying posts if you're having a hard time deciding!)

I had so much fun with this group of ladies! From their cute bachelorette themed decor, chit chat about local tv show Southern Charm, and their perfect Airbnb location (close to Folly Beach and downtown Charleston)- it was a great evening of girliness! :)

A "Camchella" Bachelorette Party

Molly here! :) This weekend I was able to flower party with two parties here in Charleston! Yep, that's right, CAMCHELLA was happening right here in the Holy City! ;) 

Like all of our parties, we start off by deciding what you want- silk vs. real flowers and what flower types/colors! (Did you know we offer BOTH silk and real flower parties? Both options are great to do! Check out some of our previous flower partying posts if you're having a hard time deciding!)

This Charleston bachelorette party decided to go with real flowers in different shades of pinks! We always try our best to make sure our parties get what they request, but sometimes depending on season and stock, the flower Gods just don't have what we need! Luckily for these ladies, the spring season had plenty to offer!

As a host, we are here to help- whether it's a little or a lot! Every party is unique, different, and work at their own speed! :)

Flower Partying on Folly Beach

Hey y'all, more flower partying over here!

This weekend I got to host and flower party with two bride tribes here in Charleston! My first party was smack dab in the heart of Folly Beach! Folly has the longest traffic lines once the warm weather hits, so staying so close to the beach was perfect for this bachelorette party!

The ladies wanted fun spring colors in silk flowers, so that’s what they got! We did an arrangement of pinks, whites, yellows, and greenery!

Even the groom made an appearance!

Cutest future wifey we ever did see!

In Charleston, who knows who you’ll into downtown!

Springtime Floral Partying

Hey everyone, Molly here! This previous weekend I had my first DIY floral crown party here in Charleston, SC of the spring season and it couldn't have been with a better group of gals!

Like all of our parties, we start off by deciding what you want- silk vs. real flowers and what flower types/colors! (Did you know we offer BOTH silk and real flower parties? Both options are great to do! Check out some of our previous flower partying posts if you're having a hard time deciding!)

This Charleston bachelorette party decided to go with real flowers in white and green with some touches of pink! We always try our best to make sure our parties get what they request, but sometimes depending on season and stock, the flower Gods just don't have what we need! Luckily for these ladies, the spring season had plenty to offer!

As a host, we are here to help- whether it's a little or a lot! Every party is unique, different, and work at their own speed! :) This party had their crown making down to the T!

Basic Bachelorette Flower Partying

Howdy, Flower Babes! We are so excited to share one of our latest flower crown parties with you that we had from the past weekend. These girls are a group of true flower gems and we loved their whole weekend here in Charleston. Yes, we did follow along in true Instagram stalking style of their weekend because they did the best things. :)

Molly here- now on to the most basic of basic bachelorette parties. We just wrapped up the most Basic DIY floral party (no, really! We partied at a restaurant here in Charleston called the Basic Kitchen!) We had six ladies that traveled all the way from NYC to party, wine and dine here in The Holy City and we are so thrilled they spent some of their bachelorette activities with us.

Since their Airbnb had some uninvited guests (hello, Charleston Palmetto Bugs!) we did a last minute switch-a-roo to host the flower crown party at Basic Kitchen, a Charleston hot spot and MUST for delicious local food, juices, coffee, etc, etc! (so good!) Also if you happen to be there during appropriate times to drink you should def get the beet margarita. One of our faves!!

*If you are interested in holding your DIY floral crown party at a restaurant, make sure you call a head and make a reservation/let the host + manager know what you are planning on doing so they can accommodate! Major shout out to the staff of Basic Kitchen for working with us and being so sweet as we were flower partying!!

Table space was a bit limited, but that didn’t stop us from partying!

The bachelorette group chose silk flowers so the bride could wear her crown at her bridal shower AND so the girls could wear them all weekend plus when they returned home! How fun and SMART!

Ready to schedule your own DIY floral crown bar for a party, shower, girls night? Dates + times are filling up quickly for the summer season, so hurry up and schedule your next floral party!

Flower Crown Partying on Isle of Palms

Hey everyone, Molly here!

Saturday I got to hang out and make flower crowns with the Bride to Be: Anna, and 10 of her bride tribe friends in the cutest little condo on Isle of Palms! (If you don't know the Charleston area, Isle of Palms or as we Charlestonians call it IOP is one of the three beaches the Charleston area has to offer!)

Now I love a good bachelorette party right in the middle of the downtown Charleston, but can we talk about how perfect having a bachelorette party is that’s RIGHT on the beach? We highly recommend checking our Charleston beach Airbnbs as you plan your Charleston bachelorette party weekend. 

This group of ladies chose silk florals to keep the floral fun going the whole weekend and once they returned home. This option is good for when the bachelorette group wants to be able to wear their flower crowns for more than just the bachelorette weekend! (maybe to work, too? ha!)

(PS-Planning a bachelorette party? We do real flower crowns or silk flower crown parties!)

The flowers are ready to go & the mimosas are ready to flow! Let's get this flower party started ladies!

Before our party, our bride sent us an inspiration picture of what kind of flowers and color scheme she would love to have for the flower crowns. We went with shades of pinks and a few yellow and white flowers for additional color! We love to get an floral inspiration board via Pinterest or some photos of flower crowns that the bride tribe likes before a flower crown party so we can think about those colors when sourcing for your party. 

When we host our flower crown parties, we always accommodate flowers that are in season! Personally, I think spring and summer has some of the prettiest florals, which makes me so excited for upcoming flower parties for the Spring and Summer season ahead! 

Their bachelorette theme for their weekend was called: Boats N' Hoes... the theme of the weekend! ;) We loved this! It is so fun to learn about the bride to be and why they pick Charleston as well as the story behind how the bride met the man of her dreams! 

After our morning session of crafting our flower crowns, the ladies were ready to hit the beach for a day of sun and a night on the town... in their flower crowns!!

Saturdays are actually for the girls!

Congrats to our bride, Anna! We had the best time with you and your friends! 

Ready to schedule your own DIY floral crown bar for a party, shower, girls night? Dates + times are filling up quickly for the Spring and Summer seasons, so hurry up and schedule your next floral party!

We hope to flower party with you all soon!

Bachelorette Party Takes on Folly Beach

Hey everyone! Molly here, again! I told you we had been quite the busy bees here in Charleston! Perfect timing since it’s officially SPRING! Hello, wedding season!

On Saturday I wrapped up my second party for the weekend with a bachelorette partyon Folly Beach! These ladies knew how to roll! A beach house with a view of the ocean in the front of the house and a marsh sunset in the back of the house? Beyond peaceful and gorgeous. (When can I move in?)

I arrived to the house and was welcomed with smiles, friendly faces and the smell of delicious food! I later learned they had Chef Justin Vereen come in to make the perfect Lowcountry brunch to start off the weekend! Yum!

After their brunch, it was time for me to set up shop so we could get our flower partying on! We had lots of spring florals for everyone to choose from! It’s crazy that even with the same exact florals, not one person’s crown looked alike! That’s what I love about doing a DIY flower crown- you get to showcase your creative side and your individuality at the same time!

All the ladies working hard! How cute are their monogram tumblers btw!? What a great idea for bachelorette party favors?!

We did a few group shots outside overlooking the marsh (The perfect view of Morris Island Lighthouse in the distance!) before the ladies spent their afternoon allowing the sun and mellow beach environment take them into relaxation prior to their creative, crafty and calming flower crown party with Fetes de Fleurs!

Floral babes!

Once everyone had taken a little mid afternoon siesta and dolled up, it was time to hit the town! With their flower crowns in hand (or on head, I suppose!), they headed to downtown Charleston to enjoy a wonderful dinner at Magnolias- a staple on East Bay Street here in The Holy City! After sharing desserts amongst the eleven of them, they enjoyed drinks on the rooftop at Market Pavilion (another Charleston must- say yes to rooftops!), then were off to hit the Charleston nightlife on Market & King Streets!

All dolled up and ready to go!

Wishing the best of luck to our bride-to-be, Jennifer, and all of her amazing bachelorette friends! They totally rocked their floral crown party + weekend!

How to Throw a Flower Crown Bridal Brunch

Hey everyone, Molly here! I’m one of the new girls to join the Fetes de Fleurs squad here in Charleston, SC! I got to host my first DIY floral crown party and oh my, what fun!

My first party was eight ladies gathering in celebration of their friend, Katie, for the cutest bridal brunch.

I am not kidding when I say cutest either! Luckily for me, one of the ladies in attendance is a wedding photographer! She was able to capture the most amazing photos of the brunch, decorations, crowns being made, and most important- the fun being had! Below I'm sharing some of the fun that we had making our flower crowns while popping some bubbly!

The possibilities with florals at a bridal shower are endless!

This cake? The frozen carnation ice cubes? Perfection!

How gorgeous is this table setup? What great attention to detail this group of girlfriends had for their bestie's special celebration and day. 

For florals, the girls wanted pinks, purples and whites, as well as a few fallish type florals. I went with different shades of mums, carnations and waxflower, a few choices of greenery, baby’s breath, aster, and some solidago for the more fall look! If you are trying to throw a flower crown bridal brunch take note of the flowers and greenery we used as inspiration for your party.

Remember, we have locations in many US cities now and are growing to more so be sure to check to see if we are hosting flower parties in your city here.

Since we had so many flowers to choose from, we sat everything up as a market vibe so the girls could go 'shopping' for their crown's florals. This is a Fetes de Fleurs staple. We always setup a flower bar so the girls can shop for their favorites to add to their crowns they will be making. 

The bride didn’t know I was going that Fetes de Fleurs was going to be in attendance, so we got to surprise her during the middle of their bridal brunch.

Do you think she was excited? (Hint: she was!)

Once we surprised her we were able to start getting to work on the flower crown class! 

How lovely are these ladies flower crowns they are making? They did such a great job. I was very impressed with how quickly everyone caught on. Just an FYI for those of you thinking of hosting a flower crown party...If you use Fetes de Fleurs we will help you and your group as much as you need or want! We really want to make sure you come away from the flower crown party knowing how to make the flower crowns. This is a fun way to learn a new skill that you could use over and over again for future parties that you throw or even for the wedding day for the bride to be! 

I mean don't these ladies look so happy? Makes us happy to see the cheer and joy that flower crowns can bring to a celebration like a bridal shower brunch. 

One of our favorite parts of a flower party is being able to see how the personality of each lady comes out in their creations! It is always incredible to hear from the group of ladies in a flower party with us how much their end creations match their personality and style! 

Even I got to join in on the photo fun!

Working hard or hardly working? ;)

In addition to the girls making their own crowns, Katie’s sweet pup was also in need of her own crown for their upcoming engagement photos.

The bride-to-be is gorgeous in her engagement photos below, but how precious is sweet little Ella in her dog flower crown from their Folly Beach engagement session? One lucky pup with these amazing parents. 

I'm so happy that Fetes de Fleurs and I could be a part of this special day! We wish the best to our lovely bride as she gets berried at the end of this month! (Her soon-to-be last name is Berry, get it? Ha!)

The floral fun has just began, so until the next party!
