Let’s talk centerpieces! While this may seem like a topic that doesn’t need much explaining, there are some things to consider when you’re dreaming up your perfect wedding centerpieces.
ππͺπ¨π©π΅ππͺπ―π¦π΄: Guests need to be able to see across the table in order to have conversations. They also need to be able to see what’s going on throughout dinner ie. speeches and dances. Keep your centerpieces low enough that they can see over them or tall enough that they can see through them! Consider using varying heights to create interest throughout the room!
ππͺπ―π―π¦π³ π΄π¦π³π·πͺπ€π¦: Take into consideration your style of dinner service. Are you offering a plated meal or family-style? If it’s the latter, you’ll need a centerpiece that works well with having multiple serving dishes on the table.
ππ’π£ππ¦ π΄π΅πΊππ¦/π΄πͺπ»π¦: Are your tables round or rectangular? How large are they? How many guests will be seated at each? Each of these factors plays into what decor you can have on your tables!
Organization and genuine interactions are key when planning one of the best days of your life and I believe I have accomplished my job when you feel you can completely trust me to manage your big day!
With 17 years working in the restaurant industry, you better believe I am good at staying calm under pressure. The fast-paced environment of the hospitality industry, my love of celebration, and my passion for design are all things that lead me down the path to event planning.
