Often the crowd favorite, tall centerpieces create instant drama as guests enter a reception space. They are an instant focal point at the reception and are sure to wow guests as they enter the room. More so than for low designs, the stand you choose for your elevated floral design can impact the overall style of your venue and wedding. For a more traditional look, a footed stand of some sort will lend the classicism you’re looking for while gold or silver can add a touch of luxe. For a more modern and sleek style, something like a Harlow stand or other clean-lined, geometric shape will work. A more ornate stand will lend an old world feel to the reception. The florals themselves can include dramatic branches, cascading blooms for lushness, or a more tightly packed arrangement for a tailored, stylish look.
Lofty Arrangements in Any Style
If you’re throwing a traditional event, classic blooms like hydrangea, roses, and stock are immediately stunning. Searching for the perfect modern arrangement? Choose a modern container or clean-lined blooms, like calla lilies. This centerpiece is the perfect example of a tall, contemporary centerpiece. Our team augmented the design by suspending glass globes with small tea lights for a dreamy feel.
Like low designs, tall ones shouldn’t obstruct your guests’ view across the table. Clear containers, acrylic pedestals or open frame stands can preserve sight lines. With so many options readily available, you can choose a base that suits both your style and doesn’t inhibit conversation. It’s important for guests to both enjoy the beauty of the flowers and each other’s company.
To help you find a tall arrangement style you love, consider some of our favorites from real weddings. We hope to inspire you in considering how to incorporate awe-inspiring centerpieces into your wedding reception decor.
