Floral Centerpieces – Part 5

There are many creative things you can do with your floral centerpiece. You can add tapered candles to a piece to add a charming look to the table. Make sure the candles match the color of the flowers. Or you can use white or off white, they should match any floral arrangement. There are many accessories you can add to your centerpiece: berries, cinnamon sticks, fruit, some vegetables and foliage.

For a new and fresh idea try adding something small like cranberries to your flower water for a red flower. If the neck of the vase allows try using lemons or limes for yellow and green flowers. Make sure to leave enough room for water to sufficiently feed the plants.

Floral Centerpieces – Part 3

If you’re having a dinner party, consider decorating the table with a floral centerpiece. Since people are going to be talking through the meal the key to this is having a lower centerpiece. The size of your centerpiece is going to depend on the size of the table. If you only have four or six people at your table your piece will be smaller than a table with eight to twelve people. If you’re at a round table consider a round floral arrangement with a long arrangement at a rectangular table.

Since there will be food served try to not use a flower that has a very strong scent. If the colors allow, try using violets have a low scent, roses although they smell great, you usually have to get close to smell them. Carnations are another flower that doesn’t smell too strong and they last quite a long time if taken cared for properly.
