Succulents and Roses

This image is one of a set of centerpieces used at this beautiful science filled wedding. The couple found vases that looked like science beakers and incorporated formulas for the table numbers.

Tip 1. Group containers of different shapes, sizes and heights, each holding a different flower for a better displayformula table numbers

Tip 2. The takeaway here is that centerpieces do not have to be identical on every table. In fact, it is more visually appealing to create subtle differences in the design components throughout the room.

Tip 3.  Incorporate colour and texture as this couple have done with fabric. Layer napkins or fabrics and wrapped boxes for additional height and to fill up space in the center of the table

Tip 4. Keep your colour palette consistent throughout your design. The colour of the succulents is picked up in the stems and greenery of the flowers.

Tip 5. The last but oh so important detail is that by using really large blooms like these protea flowers, you can cut back substantially on flowers!
