I hope you guys are up for another flower project, because we just co-hosted a fun event in Dallas over the weekend for Palm Breeze and My Domaine.

And I wanted to share the tropical DIY Floral Bar Cart Swag we taught the attendants!

They’re super quick and easy to make but will seriously add some punch to your summer entertaining decor.

Plus, let’s be honest, I’m always looking for a good reason to share photos of flowers.

We also got to host alongside the super lovely Livvy Land at The Joule in the prettiest setup!

How to Make DIY Floral Bar Cart Swag

1 — First, layer the two palm leaves how you’d like (which you may have to strip some of the parlor palm leaves to make them the same length as the large palms), and use the cloth wire to wire them together.

2 — Now start placing your blooms by wiring them on in layers.

For instance, wire two or three higher than the others first, then add two or three more, and so on.

3 — Once you have a complete swag, tightly loop a piece of rustic wire around the stem leaving extra length on both ends so that you can wrap the excess around the handle of the your bar cart.

You can also make a loop with the excess to hang the swag from an adhesive hook, front door, bar center, etc!

  1. Honestly, your page is truly amazing. Just everything seems perfect, the images, the tutorials, the elements that you perfectly choose for the DEcor.. just everything. I love how you have decorated a wall rack with a combination of a few leaves and flowers. It is a visual treat literally. Mind blown.

  2. This event looks gorgeous! You should totally do more traveling DIY events. Like one in Austin (hint, hint).
