How to Make a Wedding Planner Cringe in 10 Ways..... #2

Here we go folks, number 2! When trying to create a centerpiece for any event, or even just at your own dining room table, remember this: size does matter!

1] Size Matters: Make sure the size of your table is in proportion with your centerpiece. Big table means larger centerpiece. Small table means a simple, smaller centerpiece will do. Small centerpieces just look dinky [yep, dinky] on large tables.
** Secret: Tall centerpieces make the room look more full of decor AND it makes it easier for table conversations. You won't need to duck around the flowers in the middle in order to talk to the person across the table. Tall centerpieces are good for rooms with tall ceilings, because a short centerpiece would just get lost!
Check out this amazing centerpiece from my cousin's wedding.The reception venue had vaulted ceilings with spectacular chandeliers. I love the base of this centerpiece because there were colored petals surrounding it which helps break up the flow. Also, by adding other details at different heights below the tallest item on the table, makes for a nice cascading look and not so sharp. Perfect!!
A centerpiece from my best friends wedding. Again, great height for a centerpiece. The wedding was in a tent with vaulted ceilings and this really made it look beautiful!!
