Centerpieces for any event

Whether you prefer simple and elegant or bold and luxurious, centerpieces can add that extra touch of detail and color that brightens the room and creates the ambiance for the whole event.  There are several tips and tricks for choosing the perfect centerpieces and we’ve listed a few below.

Choosing the Appropriate Centerpiece

• Think about cost
•  The beauty of centerpieces is the wide array of options! Whether you’re looking for something over the top that’s overflowing with beautiful flowers or maybe a bit more simple, you have to set a budget first. An abundance of  flowers may not be in your budget, but you can still have a beautiful centerpiece composed of candles in mason jars or a small flower floating in a glass bowl can create an amazing effect with a small budget. If you have a larger budget, get creative and mix different arrangement sizes and styles to create an interesting room. The sky is the limit!

• What affect are you trying to create
• Are you looking for elegance? Or amusement? Or boldly outrageous? Decide what inspires you before you head out to meet with the florist. Pictures, colors, budget and theme are all important to have on hand. The affect you are trying to create can dictate the type of flowers, the colors, the style, the size and the overall look of the whole arrangement.

•  Complement the colors in the room
•  Centerpieces should flow nicely with table linens and your event’s décor. When thinking about elegance and simplicity, choose bold colored linens or a bold colored centerpiece, but be sure not to use both. When two bold colors are competing the effect can be overwhelming and end up clashing. However, if you are hosting an event where you want to be amusing and entertaining, then go to town with the combinations and really wow your guests! Don’t be afraid to try out color combinations you’ve never seen before, you never know what might look perfect together.

• Choose wisely
• When is it too much? Is the centerpiece so overwhelming that it consumes the entire table? Does the centerpiece look complete? Is it well balanced? These are all things that a florist can help you answer. Trust your vendors and their knowledge about balance and colors. If you’ve decided to handle the centerpieces yourself, do your research! Use blogs and sites like pinterest to really get a good idea of what works well at an event similar to what you’ll be throwing.
