Centerpieces on tables are one of the most important parts of any formal or semi-formal dinner event. They are at the center of every table, so guests will spend most of their time looking at them. Decorations such as draping, furniture, plants, table coverings, flowers, bars, and food station enhancements can greatly enhance the appearance of your site. Click To Tweet Here is what to do and not do when working on these two crucial elements of your event:
WHAT TO DO
- Put centerpieces first when arranging your budget, then allocate budget dollars for tablecloths, napkins, and chair covers.
- Send a picture of your table linens to the florist making your centerpieces to ensure that all is coordinated.
- Be open to more than just flowers for centerpieces; ice sculptures or other elements like glass, shells, or chunks of lava all lend the table an interesting architectural feel.
WHAT NOT TO DO
- Place decor in the interior areas of your venue at a big gala dinner; this will obstruct the view and sight lines of the stage or video screens.
- Let your venue look like an uninterrupted sea of tables. Use décor to make the area interesting.
- Forget to use decor on the perimeters of your venue.
- Never underestimate floral centerpieces; they are classic and never go out of style.
