Spring celebrations are the perfect opportunity to embrace fresh ideas, florals, and a little hands-on creativity.
Whether you're hosting a baby shower, garden party, springtime wedding, or a casual brunch with friends, DIY decorations can add a heartfelt and stylish touch to your setup—without breaking the bank.
Let’s explore some of the best DIY décor ideas that bring your spring celebration to life, with a focus on beauty, ease, and seasonal charm.
1. Floral Mason Jar Centrepieces
You can’t go wrong with flowers in spring, and mason jars make the perfect rustic-chic container. Wrap jars in twine or pastel ribbons and fill them with seasonal blooms like tulips, daffodils, or daisies. Cluster them on tables or line them down a runner for a soft and fragrant centrepiece.
🌼 Tip: Use paint or frosted glass spray to give your jars a unique tint to match your theme.
2. DIY Hanging Flower Garlands
Bring the outdoors in with simple flower garlands. Use fresh or faux flowers, string them with clear fishing line or twine, and hang them behind your dessert table, along a fence, or as a photo backdrop. These add instant colour and elegance.
🌸 Pro tip: Use alternating flower types or mix in leaves for texture.
3. Upcycled Tin Can Vases
Give tin cans new life by covering them in lace, patterned fabric, or brown craft paper. Fill with herbs, flowers, or even small succulents. These work beautifully on buffet tables or as take-home favours.
♻️ A perfect budget-friendly touch with loads of charm!
4. Custom Chalkboard Signs
Grab a few mini chalkboards (or make your own with chalkboard paint on wooden boards) and hand-letter your event details. Use them for:
- Welcome signs
- Menu boards
- Activity stations
- Table names or numbers
🖍️ Add greenery or flowers to the corners for a spring twist.
5. Paper Lanterns and Bunting
Create a festive atmosphere by stringing up DIY paper lanterns or bunting in your chosen colour palette. You can use scrapbook paper, leftover wrapping paper, or even pressed flower designs for an extra seasonal vibe.
🎨 Let your creativity run wild—this is a great activity to do with kids or friends in the lead-up to the event.
6. DIY Flower Crown Station
Hosting a baby shower or birthday? Set up a station with floral wire, greenery, and a mix of faux or fresh blooms. Guests can create their own flower crowns to wear (and take fab photos with!).
💐 This doubles as a craft and a keepsake!
7. Edible Table Décor
Use fruit, herbs, or edible flowers as part of your table styling. Think lemon or orange slices in water jugs, sprigs of rosemary tied around napkins, or sugared violets scattered on cupcakes.
🍓 Bonus: Looks gorgeous and tastes great!
