Flower centerpieces / table decorations???
I’m getting married early next year and would like to now where i can search for examples of flower centerpieces for the table decorations? I’m specifically looking for something where red is the main color. And where there is candles in too. I’m looking for something plain but striking. Don’t want it to look like a granny’s tea party! Any advice / links etc will be welcome!!
I worked at a country club for years, and we catered a LOT of wedding receptions. I’ve seen everything from horridly tacky to exquisitely elegant.
The single most striking reception I ever saw was done in a black, white, and red color scheme. The bride wore white, her bridesmaids wore black, and the ONLY flowers (wedding party and reception) were red roses.
It was spare and stark, but it was soooooo elegant. (Definitely NOT Granny’s tea party!) The tables were set with white tablecloths and black linen napkins, and the centerpieces were very simple … just one-gallon glass bowls with clear marbles in them, each filled with a cluster of cut red roses. No baby’s breath or extra ferny-things, just the roses.
Each bowl sat on a large round mirror, with three or four tea-light candles in clear glass holders scattered around the flowers. It was stunning.
If you’re having your reception at a hotel, banquet hall, country club, etc, they will have the mirrors, candles, etc … I’ve seen the round glass bowls at craft stores for a few bucks each.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when planning something like a wedding reception is to have the centerpieces too big and/or too tall. Sure, it looks great when the room is empty, but once the place fills up with all the guests and the tables are full of food, purses, cameras, drinks, etc, those centerpieces are just a nuisance.
Keep them low so that your guests can talk with each other across the table. Remember, too … a tall centerpiece will block some guests’ view of the bridal table, the dance floor, etc.
Best wishes!

The Forgotten Art of Flower Cookery $19.95 They’ve graced the loveliest gardens and the most elegant dinner tables–as centerpieces–but are often overlooked when it comes to cooking. Rediscover what our ancestors knew: that many flowers taste as sweet as they smell and, moreover, are excellent sources of vitamins and even protein. Years of research and experimentation have gone into this collection of over 200 flower cookery recipes. Exotic and delicate, flowers can flavor and color anything from Lime-Blossom Punch to Marigold Cheese Soup to Lavender Apple Crisp. Every edible flower has a different flavor, texture, and potential use. Nasturtiums have a peppery taste similar to watercress and can be used as a garnish. Chrysanthemums make an excellent addition to most salads. Roses, probably the most popular of all culinary flowers, are very high in vitamin C and can flavor anything from mayonnaise to syrup. Marigolds can take the place of saffron, a very expensive herb. Carnations have a spicy flavor similar to cinnamon or cloves, and day lilies are perfect to cook with–they taste of chestnuts and honey. Using 26 common garden flowers, author Leona Woodring Smith opens up a world of delights guaranteed to win any gourmet’s heart. |
