Groupings of Smaller Arrangements as Reception Centerpieces
| By Tweeny ~ July 22nd, 2009 ~ Flowers | 2 Comments |
Like shop table or window displays, laying out multiples of the same item can be very eye catching and stunning, like a artistic installation. It is very common to see in magazines several iterations of the same or similar floral arrangement strategically placed down the length of a very long table, or clustered together in the center of a large, round table. Those 60-inch round tables are quite large and sometimes having just one centerpiece in the middle of the table can look a little lonely. Having multiple small arrangements of similar color scheme or container shape can make the table more dynamic – and also result in more guests getting to take a flower home!

In groupings for centerpieces, it is common to have 3, 4, 5 or even 6 similar shaped containers of various heights and sizes, each holding the same type of flower. Or you can have each container holding one type of flower with each flower type in the same color (or some combination of colors) to suit the wedding color scheme.
Unfortunately, having multiple containers can really add up! Instead of just one cube or cylinder for the arrangement, you will instead need 3, 4, 5, or even 6. Just having all these containers can be the same price of having one regular centerpiece! Some of my brides have gotten around this problem by using cheaper containers such as mason jars and simple clear glass cylinders. To dress them up a little, you can tie raffia or ribbons around the mason jar, or overlay a couple of thick bands of satin ribbon around the glass cylinders in different widths. Painted ceramic containers are typically a little cheaper than colored glass and can make for a great option as they can be found in white, black, as well as almost every color of the rainbow. The possibilities are endless – just ask your wedding florist for more ideas!
