Flowers

You have planned all the other details, now it is time for the centerpieces that will adorn your guests' tables. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

- Select flowers that are lovely, but only slightly fragrant. No one wants to come in to a reception hall and be hit with a fragrance similar to that of a freshly mopped floor.

- Your centerpieces should complement the rest of the room; they do not need to match exactly, but rather enhance the setting. This should include the colors on the walls, carpets, chairs, linen, etc.

- The height of your floral must not be intrusive on the table. Your guests should be able to talk over the centerpiece if it is short, or under it if it is tall.

- If you plan on using votive candles, please ensure that no part of your florals are within scorching distance. No one wants to use their water glass to put out a fire.
