Tall Centerpiece for the Food Table . . .

     Floral decorations for a wedding reception fill the tables throughout the room. A tall arrangement on the food table draws the attention of the guests.
       For this wedding, we chose to highlight the color selections of the wedding. The vase and height of the blue delphiniums carry out the color of the bridesmaids’ gowns. The selection of white and light pink adds contrast and dimension.
      This arrangement stood about 3 feet tall.  A floral foam adapter was used to give the arrangement stability for such a tall vase. This adapter is a disc with a base that fills the opening of the vase. I taped a large piece of wet floral foam to the disc, then added two longer pieces of waterproof floral tape to the vase to stabilize the arrangement.
      I usually begin floral arrangements by adding greenery lightly at the base of the foam to cover the mechanics. I then added the tallest blue delphinium. Continue by placing 3 delphiniums a little shorter around the tallest delphinium. I then added 3 delphiniums close to the bottom of the vase to form the shape of the arrangement. Fill delphiniums throughout the arrangement between the tallest and the 3 delphiniums at the base of the arrangement to carry out the blue color.
    To add dimension, I placed three white hydrangea blooms close to the base of the arrangement. I used white spray roses to carry the color throughout the upper part of the arrangement. I placed tall pink roses in the top of the arrangement. I filled in the color pink with a mixture of additional roses, garden roses, spray roses and lisianthus. I added blue limonium throughout the arrangement to complete the design.
