Centerpieces 101

Your wedding centerpieces can be the most admired arrangements in your wedding celebration since your guests will be staring at them for a few hours or more.  But deciding what you want can be challenging.  (Tall or short?  Natural or highly-stylized? Flowers or something more?)  Here's how to pick the best arrangements for your wedding.

Consider the size of the space.  A room with low ceilings call for shorter centerpieces so the space doesn't feel cramped, while soaring spaces need taller centerpieces to fill in that dead air above the table.

Choose a cool container.  Although simple glass bowls or vases are nice, you can also consider vessels with personality, like tin watering cans or teapots.  We have tons of original options for you to consider...just ask us!

Include some unusual ingredients.  Incorporate fruit or other non floral elements like feathers or faux jewels.

Go beyond the cookie cutter arrangements.  While identical arrangements throughout the room give your wedding a cohesive look, they can tend to be a little boring.  Ask your wedding designer about varying the look from table to table, whether you opt to keep everything in the same color family but using different flowers, or decide to use variations on the same color scheme, such as lavender flowers at one table and bright purple on another. 

Think inside the vase.  We are able to do so many cool vase treatments - using citrus slices, cranberries, coffee beans or other interesting things to line the inside and hide flower stems.

Cluster the look.  Groupings of several small containers can create a cohesive look for your wedding...without being too cookie cutter.
