It sounds like a hair style doesn’t it?

I’m actually referring to a growing trend in centerpiece design and it the perfect solution for the client who wants a centerpiece that is both off the table  or elevated and one that is lower to the table or below the line of sight.

The way it works is this. Let’s say you have 20 tables.

Half the centerpieces would be elevated so that the drama which can only be captured by that style of a centerpiece can be established.

The other half of the tables can be fulsome arrangements that are lower to the table so that you are able to sit those guests of yours who you feel might prefer to be able to chat across the table as well as to the guests on either side.

It’s a great option for the couple who would like the best of both worlds.

When brides start planning the wedding flowers, the question of what to do with the centerpiece usually tops the list after figuring out what the bridal bouquet might be.

The truth is that for a complete look the centerpiece is only one part (albeit very important) of the table.

The “other” elements are in no particular order:

The shape of the table and type of chair

The colour and type of linens, chair covers and napkins

The nature of the place setting

The menu and placecards

The candles

All of these elements thoughtfully chosen together can make the simplest centerpiece stand out.
