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 flowers

linens 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.
