How would these work for centerpieces on 72" tables?

Question

Any of the first 6.
I'm concerned they may be too small on such large tables.
Also would celedon (green) or ivory linens compliment green flowers better.
(wedding colors ivory, celedon w/ hints of black.)

72" round tables

Answer 1

These by themselves are gonna be a little small for that large a table. You could do them and put them on mirrored tiles, with votive or a little larger candle around them and maybe some petals and crystals or something. That way they don't look like just this little tiny thing sitting in the middle of a huge table; it widens the diameter of the entire centerpiece.

Also I always recommend doing at least two different styles of centerpieces, with one taller and one shorter. It really gives the room interest and depth.

If you are going to do the colors of the flowers exactly as in the pics, I definitely would NOT use green tablecloths. I would do the ivory or black.

Answer 2

You don't really need to match green with green. It is actually going to be boring. Look at Teleflora's Green Light (it is from the link that you posted). I saw quite a few weddings with that type of centerpiece. Some florists have a few different glass cube sizes that you can choose. But, can you mix some colors instead of all green? Put a few flowers with different colors but make sure it won't have too many different colors. If you have too much greens they look tacky. Also, if you can, put a round glass mirror on the bottom of each centerpiece. Put the centerpiece smack in the middle of the mirror, then, put 4 tea lights on the mirror (the outer rim of the mirror). You can use shinny dark brown linen with celedon napkin. They look like mint chocolate, you know. They will look pretty. If you want, you can also have celedon chair covers with dark brown bow (sash).

Answer 3

go to studioartsflorist.com. They have a fabulous selection and there is 1 on page 2 of all occasion and it is in the colors you want. My suggestion is go to your local florist that has a good reputation and look through his books for something different and appropriate for 72 inch tables. This way you have a quality control on the flowers that are delivered to your wedding venue. If you order through telaflora, they contract with a local florist who you don't know and sometimes there are just disasters with delivery and quality of flowers. I would go with ivory/celedon green in the floral arrangement, no black. Good Luck

Answer 4

I personally like the Green with Envy arrangement. It is small enough you could put 2-3 on each table and still see over them and the person sitting across the table from you. Use ivory linens

Answer 5

Could you do the Zensational with two smaller (like the first one) on each side, and then do that 3 times along the table? So instead of one big centerpiece, you have sort of 3 smaller runner-type centers? As for linens - celadon is very monochromatic with those flower choices, they flowers will pop more with ivory.

Answer 6

Try the Zensational. Make the linens ivory to offset things. If you go with celedon its going to be OVERdone. This will look simple yet elegant.

Best of luck!! =o))

Answer 7

For my wedding I wanted something similiar to zensational but was concerned it would be too small, so the florist made a double vase where the narrow cylinder vase (zensational) was placed in the shorter wider cylinder vase. It looked amazing, very modern and unique.
See below. I also attached a link for additional vase

Maybe if you get the wider vase you can add more leaves, similiar to what with Zensational.

I tend to be a little trendy, (not for everyone) but I love the idea of immersing flowers in water. You can easily add more water to zensational. It's really amazing when the light reflects against the water. Or those massive palm leaves on the tables with fishline orchids hanging in space. Something like this can be used on the table with your seating cards. I hope this helps.

Answer 8

1] ivory linens
2] pick the centerpiece you prefer, but be sure they are 12 inches tall or less, so people at the table can talk to one another.
3] I like:
row one - 1, 2
row two - 3
row four - 2
row five - 1, 2
My favorites are the first and the last - simple, but beautiful, and excellent souveniers!

Answer 9

Shades of green or wonderful world are really nice, and would work fine - but they are WAY too expensive for their purpose. I think you need to look elsewhere. And have ivory linens.

Answer 10

They are small, but if you have the money, you can do a Zensational and a Green Light on the same table.
