Decisions - Deciding on Your Reception Centerpieces

A mixture of both tall and low centerpieces

Your next decision will be centerpieces. After you decide colors, and types of flowers (or candles, feathers, whatever) you’re going to have to decide do you want tall centerpieces, low centerpieces or a mixture of both.

There are several things to consider before making this decision.

#1 is of course is budget. Tall centerpieces are normally more costly than low. They are larger and the vases are more expensive to rent.

#2 is ceiling height. If you reception area has really tall ceilings, all low centerpieces can end up feeling lost in the room.  The same is true if the ceiling is low.  If the ceiling is low and all the centerpieces are tall it will seem overwhelming to guests when they enter.

Remember low centerpieces have to be low enough that guests can see over them and tall centerpieces have to be tall enough that guests can see under them.

All Low Centerpieces



My personal favorite is a mixture of both, what's yours?
