Lanterns

These rustic pieces are becoming more and more popular as centerpieces, and it is easy to see why. Create unexpected beauty by replacing the candles inside with your favorite florals or build a ring of flowers around the outside for a romantic look and feel. Lanterns are a wonderful way to add a unique, country, or chic element to your table designs.

Fruit & Veggies

Aside from ensuring the flowers for your arrangement are in season, many people like to bring the feel of their favorite summer, fall, spring, or winter elements into their décor. For instance, carving out the insides of a pumpkin or pineapple to create a festive centerpiece enhances the cozy autumn or tropical summer feel you are aiming for. You can also pick out smaller fruits and veggies to line a table runner or hide inside your floral centerpieces for hints of seasonal color and surprises for guests to spot.

Cloche

Without disturbing or pulling away from the brilliance of the floral arrangement underneath, a cloche or glass dome enhances the creativity of your event decor. This type of centerpiece has the ability to transport your guests out of the ballroom and into an enchanted forest or fairytale, as many people associate flowers in a cloche with classics like Beauty and the Beast.  Opt for a full and colorful flower arrangement or a classic single stem to achieve the best look for your celebration.
