Inspired by the flower bar ideas below, I just made a DIY flower bar for a friend’s wedding. As a fun activity and guest favor, the bar made a lovely arrangement of fresh flowers. I spent slightly about $300 on the flowers that I purchased from Trader Joe’s. When guests held flowers and placed them on my spring mantel, the pictures looked stunning.
