We spend a whole lot of our life at tables, starting with the dining table in the morning to the office table to the restaurant table to the study table. Therefore, it is only natural to want to beautify the space that we occupy. Who doesn’t feel cheerful when drowsy from a long day at work they spot a vase full of calla lilies on the desk?? Yes, flowers do make our lives a little brighter and joyous.
One of the simplest ways of stylizing a table at a party is by introducing a centerpiece of floating flowers. Its very minimalist yet very elegant. Just a clear bowl of water with a single gerbera daisy floating on top. A floating flower arrangement does not overwhelm the guests and it does not get into the way of a conversation as it is below chin level. It just adds to the cozy atmosphere.
Another interesting Table flower arrangement is the apple cone arrangement.
Though traditional in nature, this primarily holiday arrangement can be used any time of the year as well. What you need to do is buy an apple cone base from your local florist and push real and fake fruits like apples, lemons etc) onto the nails on the cone base. Fill the empty spaces in between with foliage or with wisteria for a more enigmatic look. Top the cone with the pineapple. Make sure that the fruits are carefully stuck onto the nails of the cone base or else the arrangement will give away.
Do’s and Don’ts for the Table Flower Arrangements
Avoid using very elaborate bouquets on tables where guests are seated as they tend to hinder conversation. Instead stick to small vases with minimalist arrangements. If you would like to add a contemporary touch go ahead and have small ikebana arrangements which look extremely stylish.
Organize the table flower arrangement according to the purpose, for instance a floating flower arrangement is no good at your study table. It will only lighten the atmosphere. What you need is a vase with a couple of calla lilies to set the professional tone.
Color co-ordination ought to be done on the basis of your décor. What good would bright orange flowers be in a room done up in pastel green. Or a plastic vase on a mahogany table?? You need to keep these small details in mind to ensure that your table flower arrangement does not clash with the rest of your décor.
Feel free to experiment and create your own table flower arrangement. Use all kinds of fruits, flowers and accessories, but keep in mind that an arrangement is meant to enhance the beauty of the table without becoming the focal point of the table. It should be subtle and graceful.
