To your edit:
An easy way but probably not the best is to just stop mowing it. If you currently have a weed free, chemically enhanced lawn this might take a while. If it is your average lawn that just gets mowed, you probably already have native grasses and plants there. Clover, violet, dandelion, wood sorrel and many others are commonly growing in lawns unless treated as "weeds" and sprayed.
The best way to do it would be to dig up or rototill the entire area and prep it as a flower bed. The existing ground cover would most likely out compete the seeds sprinkled in the area, so removing it is important.
