Tips for creating layers and details on your table.

Your centerpiece is the focal point of your table. As a floral and event designer and one who loves to entertain , flowers are my way of expressing myself artistically, sharing my feelings, and telling a story.

I love to create texture in my floral arrangements by using different sizes and shapes of blooms. It gives the arrangement versatility and intrigue. To create multi-layers on your table, use vases in varying sizes and heights.

Bud vases are great for filling the table and bringing in layers as well.

One thing to keep in mind: Keep the size of the table in mind. You want to make sure you have enough room for place settings and food.

Remember that your floral arrangements don’t have to be massive, they just have to be impactful.
