Flower Power

Sure, centerpieces are nice. But for the ultimate floral statement, think outside the vase.

Go Green

When it comes to wedding florals, a lot of couples are skipping the flowers and going with greenery instead. But just as there’s an art to arranging flowers, it takes skill to make greens look good. “I like to use different colors and textures,” says Susan Falso of Cherryhill Flowers in Johnston, who recommends using at least three different greens in any arrangement, and incorporating berries and plants like dusty miller for contrast. The results can be lush and luxurious. But don’t expect to save a lot of money: greens are just as costly as flowers.

Keep your geode and marbleized cakes. What’s more romantic than a cascading trail of pink and peach posies, as in this creation from Confectionery Designs?

The Runner Tumbles

When is a centerpiece not a centerpiece? When it’s a continuous blooming chain that bisects the table and spills down either end, as in this example from Stoneblossom.
