Centerpiece Ideas

Whether brightening up your dining room table for a holiday dinner or cocktail party or adorning multiple tables at an event, the flower centerpieces you choose should add color and a bit of drama. You should choose flowers that fit with your theme and color scheme and best complement the room they are in. With just a little thought and planning, you will find your centerpieces to be a transformational element for your event and that they will become conversation pieces for those who attend.

There are several things to think about before you choose the centerpiece flowers for your event. These include:

• Space. If the venue for your event is small, do not choose huge arrangements for your centerpieces. These will only dwarf the space and create an awkward feel to the room.
• Color. For an event with a color scheme, you will want to choose flowers that match the chosen scheme. While they do not need to be an exact match, they should blend with the rest of the decorative elements.
• Conversation. For events where people will sit around tables and talk to each other before and after a meal, go with arrangements that are low enough to keep everyone’s view unobstructed. Smaller, more understated arrangements or bouquets of flowers are perfect for these tables.
• Fragrance. It is a good rule of thumb to select less fragrant flowers for centerpieces, particularly if people will be seated near them for extended periods. Anyone with allergies will be glad about this additional thoughtfulness.
• Cost. If cost is a consideration, you may want to go with a single flower choice for your centerpieces. This will help manage costs and create a sleek, chic look for your event. On the flip side, for added drama (and increased budget) you can choose a different centerpiece for each table and name them for seating charts.

The centerpiece flowers you choose for your event are important to the overall “feel” of the occasionbut there is no need to panic if you feel overwhelmed. Your flowers can be fun and whimsical or dramatic and elegant. If you can not make a decision, your florist will be a great resource for helping you make the best decisions based on your budget and needs. No matter what you and your florist decide, be confident that the flowers in your centerpieces will be a lovely addition and decorative touch.
