High or low centerpieces
I am not sure with the wood beams high centerpieces would work.
I am going to florists tomorrow and don't want to bother getting pedistal quotes if they will not look good.

Re: High or low centerpieces
Jenny, keep it low, there is alot going on in that room. The centerpieces will get lost, JMO
I used light flowers so it would brighten the room up.

Re: High or low centerpieces
HI.I think Low is better as well.
The ceilings look rather low so a high centerpiece may not compliment it.

Re: High or low centerpieces
I did beiges, light greens and whites flowerslinens I did, cream on white with white napkins.
its all your preference, I dont really care for colored table clothes and napkins
All roses in their centerpiece would look really pretty. i thought of it after.
Are you using their centerpieces but different flowers?

Re: High or low centerpieces
I just don't know
My color scheme is rose and marroon, and ivory.
I want to see what the florists off as centerpiece price and then I will decide.
I love candles, so I am thinking I might use their candelabras and upgrade to all roses.

Re: High or low centerpieces
I called the house florist and (he did not sound too eager to bet my business, even when I brought up upgrading the flowers = more money for him), he said taek care of my flowers first and then call him to see what flowers I want, then we'll give me a quote.

Re: High or low centerpieces
I vote low as well, high will make the room look shorter.Good luck!

Re: High or low centerpieces
i think low in that room is better.also my cousin had high bulky cp and we could not have a conversation with the person we were across from. DH and I hated it. We had low ones at ours and it seemed to work better for our guests.

Re: High or low centerpieces
I vote low as well. If you use their candelabra's you could do posey (posie?) arrangements...small (even individual, if you like) pieces for each table. That could look really pretty.

Re: High or low centerpieces
Low is my vote - the wood gives the illusion of a lower ceiling. I like the second arrangement - perhaps a couple of red roses in those can bring out the marroon in your scheme...

Re: High or low centerpieces
Yes, I like the 2nd better too, with a few of the top darker ones, and marroon ones too. Wacky had a point about making them light to brighten up room.Welcome New Vendors
