The return of the tall table tops. Now I usually only recommend tall table top arrangements like these for a few kinds of events.
ONE – events that take place in a grand giant ball room or where there is a lot of space between the tables and ceiling.
TWO – events that take place in a very bare room (concrete, loft like rooms, large wooden barn, etc.)
THREE – as a centrepiece in sets of varied heights, including some tall ones!
I love leaves. Aspidestra, Calathea, Banana, Cordeline, love em. Love those leaves. Here are some different ways of incorporating them into design.

I’ve written many posts about using opaque containers for arrangements (instead of glass), the texture and colour and style that they can bring. And I have a few favorites…. Well, I love the urn. I love the shape. I love how well it holds flowers, and the many shapes of urns you can have that are still considered urns. Plastic, Stone, Ceramic, Metallic, I LOVE THEM ALL!

I LOVE SWEET PEAS – They are so dainty and delicate…. But they also don’t last very long as a cut flower or out of water. They are available in the Spring and come in many colours including white, pinks, purples, and some reds and oranges which are not as readily available as are the pinky tones.
