Fashion Forward Floral: Trendy Table Decor

Every bride is worthy of a nuptial setting that accentuates the significance of her special day. No one would overlook planning for a beautiful gown, or an elegant bridal bouquet because, next to the bride herself, these will be the focus of everyone's attention. Perfect planning, however, goes beyond the most obvious. For example, table decor in the reception hall offers an opportunity to extend the beauty of the wedding and complement the radiance of the bride. Careful, artful attention to a table centerpiece will add sophistication and drama to the reception environment.

The centerpiece need not be large or outrageously expensive to impress the gathering; sometimes the most striking arrangements are constructed with basic concepts in mind. A recent trend in centerpiece fashion adheres to a "less is more" attitude. A few dramatic flowers in unique presentation can boast understated beauty that will not be rivaled by a display only notable for its size.

As featured, orchids are ideal for looping, twisting, and shaping into simple, vogue designs. Other flowers with artistic characteristics and pliability include calla lilies, celosia, roses, and amaranthus, just to name a few.

Along with flower selection, color is vital when designing a stylish centerpiece. Although layering colors may add dimension, a "less is more" mindset can apply to color schemes as well. A monochromatic theme draws attention to attractive, classic lines. Instead of clear glass, for example, consider vases with a kick of color to enhance the floral choices and polish the table. A skillful floral designer should be able to discuss options for presenting your favorite blooms in a modering, minimalist fashion.

Happily, this design trend is one that adds value but can save money! Centerpieces that are light on floral quantity can still display dramatic flair. What bride wouldn't want an artistic design that conserves the budget and yet attracts her guests' admiration?

As individual as the bride, centerpieces can be refined, traditional, fashionable, romantic, feminine, or all of the above. Again, make sure to consult with your floral designer to explore all options and possibilities. Inspired by a little creativity, your attention to the table arrangement will ensure a memorable masterpiece!
