Using Your Containers for Centerpieces

We often have clients who have containers or vases that they would like to use for their receptions. Here is an example of just that. This bride had her reception at Moulin and gave us her own amber glassware to use for the centerpieces. These are the snapshots that we took of the set-up.

We filled the bride's containers with a lush arrangements of purple hydrangea.

We also took shots of the ceremony flowers and bouquets. Pink and purple were the main colors of the day.

We made these "altar" arrangements to frame the bride and groom for the ceremony.

The bride carried this lush, garden bouquet of all white and ivory roses and hydrangea.

The bridesmaids carried hot pink roses with purple filler.



It was a very nice color palette for late summer and we had fun working on this one!!

Summer Centerpieces

Here is a "collection" of some of the centerpieces and other flower decor that we've done this spring and summer.

Bright reds and pinks made these roses and freesia pop against the white table linens.

These hurricane candles with a lush flower wreaths were perfect for a summer garden-themed wedding.

Small jars of Esperance roses and bells of Ireland were a great cimpliment to the pink washed walls at the Mad Art Gallery.

Centerpiece Trials

If you don't think you have an eye for visualizing what you've picked for your wedding or event flowers, you might want to consider a centerpiece trial. For a minimal fee, Sisters Flowers offers this service as an option for our booked weddings or events.

We suggest these trials take place about a month from your event, in your event space, so you can get a feel for what the whole room will look like on the actual day. If possible, it's helpful to do this during your tasting so that you can see the centerpiece on the set table with the linens you will be using. If needed, Sisters Flowers can also do centerpiece trials out of our "wedding cottage."

Here is an example of a centerpiece trial that we did for one of our brides at Moulin, a one-of-a-kind event space downtown. This bride is considering doing two different centerpieces at her reception. The first is hot pink roses, submerged inside a rectangle vase. The second is orange tulips, curly willow, and lily grass submerged in a cylinder vase. Both centerpieces are great options for this space.

Centerpiece trials help to narrow down your options or confirm your choices.
