Floral centerpieces are more than just table decorations—they're the heart of your event's décor, setting the tone and creating a memorable atmosphere. High and low centerpieces, when used together, add depth and elegance to your tablescape, creating a dynamic look that wows your guests.
At Lia's Flowers, we excel in crafting breathtaking high and low floral arrangements that breathe life into any event. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or an intimate dinner party, our expertise can help you use high and low centerpieces to transform your space.
What Are High and Low Floral Centerpieces?
• High Centerpieces: Arrangements that tower above the table, often displayed in tall vases or stands. These designs add drama and height to your décor.
• Low Centerpieces: Shorter arrangements that sit closer to the table, providing a more intimate, grounded feel.
Using both types together creates visual variety, balancing grandeur with accessibility.
The Benefits of Combining High and Low Centerpieces
1. Dynamic Visual Appeal
• High centerpieces draw the eye upward, creating a sense of grandeur.
• Low centerpieces balance the look, filling the tablescape with lush blooms and greenery.
2. Guest Interaction
• Low centerpieces allow for easy conversation across the table.
• Strategically placed high centerpieces ensure they don't obstruct sightlines.
3. Customizable for Any Theme
• From modern elegance to rustic charm, high and low arrangements can be tailored to fit your event's style.
Choosing Flowers for High and Low Centerpieces
Choosing the right flowers for your high and low centerpieces is crucial. Your choice will depend on your event's theme, season, and mood. Here are some ideas to get you started:
High Centerpiece Flowers
• Roses and Hydrangeas: Add volume and elegance.
• Orchids: Perfect for sleek, modern events.
• Branches and Greenery: Create height and drama while keeping costs lower.
Low Centerpiece Flowers
• Peonies and Ranunculus: Add softness and romance.
• Succulents and Eucalyptus: Perfect for rustic or minimalist designs.
• Seasonal Blooms: Incorporate flowers in season for freshness and sustainability.
Design Tips for High and Low Centerpieces
1. Keep the Table Balanced
• Alternate high and low centerpieces on long banquet tables to create a cohesive flow.
• For round tables, mix one or two high centerpieces with several low ones to maintain variety.
2. Use Coordinating Colors
• Choose a complementary color palette for both centerpiece styles.
• For example, pair soft pastels in low arrangements with bold accent colors in the high ones.
3. Add Texture and Layers
• Incorporate greenery, branches, and textured flowers to add depth and interest.
• Consider mixing glass, wood, and metal for your vases and stands.
4. Include Candles or Lighting
• Pair your arrangements with candles or fairy lights to enhance the ambiance.
• Use tall candelabras with high centerpieces for a dramatic effect.
