CENTER PIECES |
Weddings can vary in styles from a traditional
floral setup to a wide variety of options all used by
couples today. The traditional wedding has three rooms
which the guests participate in. The ceremony, or venue,
is usually a church or ballroom. The initial reception generally takes
place after the ceremony and is a smaller room where guests have access
to an open bar (it's during this time that the guests can mingle while
wedding photographs are taken with the bride, groom and the entire wedding
party).
The full reception takes place in a reserved restaurant, hotel ballroom, rented reception hall or other location catered
by the wedded hosts followed up with music and dancing.
Centerpieces are used for the initial reception as well
as for each table for the dining and full reception
in a traditional wedding. Typically, the centerpieces designed for the initial reception are identical to the full reception
except for the use of fresh or dried flower petals around the centerpiece
in the initial reception.
The rule of thumb
in most cases with any centerpiece is to keep it low,
below the conversation line of the guests sitting at
a round or square table. However, some receptions align the tables
in a U-Shaped configuration and in this case it may be more desirable to use taller, more styled centerpieces. Also, for buffet-style
catered
receptions, two taller arrangements at each end of the selection
line provides an excellent bifurcation between the dining area and food
area.
Our designers famously have a vast amount
of experience with any type of reception configuration, and have designed for
traditional
and non-traditional settings. For mid-size and larger events, in
addition to the centerpieces, consider asking us to
source glass votives with small candles for each tablesetting.
Not only do they become a beautiful accent to an evening
or low lit reception room, you can give them as additional gifts to your guests as another keepsake from your special day! |
