The room calls for elevated floral arrangements if you really want to make a statement for any event or wedding reception.  For this reception of 220 guests, the couple chose tall cylinder vases with fresh lime green cymbidium orchids submerged and then a lovely arrangement of pink lilies and peonies, green fugi mums and Kermit button poms and calla lilies with trailing green amaranths.  The cylinder was placed on a light tray which provided a soft up lighting into the submerged orchid vase.  Also surrounding the vase were 3 small cylinders with floating candles and orchids. For that little something extra, a single green fugi mum was tied into the gold sheer chair tie at the back of each gold chiavari chair. green-fugi-on-chairs

The sweetheart table had one continual arrangement along the table’s edge with several different sized votives and floating candles worked between.  Small 2” glass cubes were nested under the green moss and between the hardy flowers.   The small cubes filled with water held the fragile flowers such as the hydrangea in this is “layout” design for the couples table of honor.
