Center of Attention {From Top to Bottom}

I know when most of you think centerpieces, you usually think of a beautiful arrangement of buds sitting on the table surrounded my candles. Not this time kids. Talk about impact on your guests! Having your flowers hang from the ceiling in a uniform line over the table with terrariums filled with candles hanging at various heights is the wow factor I've been longing for when it comes to centerpieces. When doing something like this, I do suggest using a single type and color of flower, in this case, yellow tulips. While it might be a bit more complicated to execute and get your venue to sign off on, hanging your arrangements from the ceiling does have more benefits that simply looking amazing. One of the best benefits is that there will be more room on the table for glasses, extra plates, etc. Also, guests will be able to have uninterrupted conversation. Admit it. When you go to an event you always notice how gorgeous the arrangements are, but hate when you can't speak, not to mention see, the person sitting across from you. 

To be frank, hanging your flowers will solve all of your centerpiece dilemmas such as proper height, size in diameter, and needed table space! 

Center of Attention {Monochromatic Florals}

Welcome to the latest series of posts on Events Uncorked. I realized the other day that I do very little posting about flowers and centerpieces in general. Therefore, I'm launching a new series of posts called "Center of Attention" focusing on just that. So, let's dive right in. Today I want to talk a little about monochromatic florals. And by that I mean having different flowers in the same shade to create your centerpieces. I like this idea because it keeps it simple and uniform, but it still has a bit of visual interest with the varying textures and shapes. 

Going along the same lines, I love the idea of having small arrangements of the same flower on each table. For example, one arrangement of pink roses, another of pink tulips, and a third of pink peonies. All the same color. Each in their own vase. But, together on the table in matching vases, it will modern, clean, and pulled together!
