Types of Containers
Choosing your containers and vases for your wedding, event or special occasion is important. This can work one of two ways:
(1) Figure out what your concept is and find the vase that suits your vision; or
(2) Find the vases that seem relatively workable and figure out what flowers to put into them.
Top Tips
-
Be aware of the scale, especially the width and the height of your containers. Something that may look huge in the store, may in fact look dwarfed on a large rounded table.
-
Have a trial with your containers. Place the container in the centre of your dining room table and pull up a chair and look at the person opposite. Can you see them? Is your vision blocked? As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to keep your tall pieces at 24" or higher and your shorter at 12" or under.
-
Remember to take the venue into account when deciding on the table centres and containers you would like to use. For instance, low or high ceilings? Contemporary or rustic?
-
Mix short and tall centrepieces to help make a space feel more vibrant and full. There is nothing worse than walking into a reception space that feels empty or under-decorated
