According to experts at Aneta’s European Florals at St. Paul MN, there are a few important considerations when it comes to planning your reception centerpieces there are things that ought to be considered. Stunning centerpieces are not created with the best flowers alone, you need to consider the following three essential things.

Height

The centerpieces shouldn’t be too tall to block the view or prevent guests from looking at each other. The table setting and centerpieces should be conversation friendly. You don’t want to ruin the guests’ experience by forcing them to speak through a bunch of flowers.

So, what should be done?

To combat this problem, consider using a tall and slender container with an organic style arrangement or you could line the center of the table with short vases and keep the flowers near one another. Another interesting way is to suspend the flowers.

Fragrance

The next important aspect is to consider is fragrance. If the flowers have a very strong scent, it may negatively affect the guests’ experience. While scents are welcoming, an excessive amount can prove repulsive. Flowers, like Hydrangea and tulips are great options. Lilies and lavender may be best for cocktail hour.

Foliage The foliage you put in and around the florals should be appropriate. Some flowers, garlands and wreaths don’t work well around food and drinks. Seeded Eucalyptus is known to disperse little brown seeds everywhere. So, consult an experienced florist to choose the best one.
