Move over traditional vases — Stanley cup bouquets are the cutest way to show someone you care. These viral tumbler bouquets are popping up everywhere this Mother’s Day, and I’m completely obsessed. Whether you're gifting one to a mom, teacher, friend, or yourself (because... why not?), here are some sweet and creative ideas to help you build the perfect Stanley bouquet.
The Stanley Cup I Used
I used the Stanley Quencher H2.0 in Resort Floral. It’s a limited time floral edition and its roomy for all the goodies you can put inside!

🌿 How to Arrange a Stanley Cup Bouquet
Here’s how to get that full, fluffy, Pinterest-worthy look:
Start with a Base
Use floral foam, crinkle paper, or even a rolled-up hand towel inside the Stanley cup to give height and structure.
Layer Tissue Paper or Cellophane
Drape tissue or wrapping paper over the foam to soften the edges and add color.
Add Tall Items First
Stick in eucalyptus stems, floral picks, or tall beauty items toward the back to create height.
Mix in Medium Layers
Fill in with your main flowers, snack packs, hand creams, or teas — stagger them at different angles to make it feel full.
Tuck in Small Accents Last
Add lip balms, chocolate squares, and any tiny items in the front for charm and easy grabbing.
Secure Everything
Use clear tape, floral wire, or mini skewers to hold light items in place. A glue dot or two can work magic for smaller pieces!
Top it Off with a Bow
Add ribbon or a small tag at the front for that finished, thoughtful look.
Use floral foam or crinkle paper inside the cup to hold everything in place.
Layer tissue paper over the foam.
Wrap the bouquet base in cellophane and finish with a ribbon or bow.
