Afternoon lovelies! Today’s a two-post kinda day, don’t we just love those!  This afternoon Jodie from Boutique Blooms, amazing floral designer & stylist shares some of her top DIY & styling tips for recreating the look shared in this morning’s colourful cocktail & macaron shoot.

Pick a key ingredient from your favourite cocktail and incorporate that into your party décor Any fruit with a hard skin or peel looks fabulous with a layer of metallic spray paint, purchased from your local DIY store. Make sure you have covered a large open space (preferably on a dry day!) with newspapers as protection, and spray from the recommended distance with a steady even hand. Allow to dry completely before displaying in bowls in your bar area Attach fruit or paper umbrellas onto florist wires and use them as a finishing touch in any flower arrangements Cocktail glasses and shakers make great vases for flowers; fill a martini glass with flowers & fruit segments and pop in a paper umbrella or flag and you have a great decoration for your drinks tray Fill a tall vase with fruit (lemons or limes work well) and place your flower arrangement in the top for a striking cocktail-inspired floral display.

Don’t forget it’s all about supporting a great cause! Read all about #MacaronsForMacmillan and see more of this stunning shoot here.
