What's the best flower arrangement for center table?

It all depends on the party at the time





I prefer low cut arrangements small so you can have nice talks across the table if your trying to keep it quiet and to the person next to you like a formal party try long stems in a high vase so you can't see the person across the table so you don;t have to talk across just to the person next to you





Low cut flowers that are nice and cheap carnations you can get any color and high cut if your not worried about seasons i love lilies or tulips





Good luck and have fun with it


If your doing a kids party try the colorful tissue paper bunch it up and make it into flowers.

What's the best flower arrangement for center table?
colors that match the room
Reply:Keep in mind that artistically, one item on a surface looks better than two, and three look better than two or four. Two of anything to look mitchy-matchy is not pleasing. Either one in the center or one with two smaller ones to complement.





If you're referring to a low coffee table, one glass vase is pretty so you can observe the water level halfway up. The flower arrangement should not be so tall that it obstructs the people's view. You don't want to have to peer around an arrangement in order to make eye contact and carry on a conversation.





My coffee table holds a fat pillar candle in a hurricane vase with a couple of large shells to one side to offset it. (there's your three) Or put a candle and two staggered pictorial books. Or a natural African Violet and two staggered books. Later in the Fall or for Thanksgiving I just lay a natural harvest wreath in the center (big so it comes to 10" of the edge) and I may put the pillar candle in the center but not unless we're sitting around in there to enjoy the candle glowing. Consider a seasonal wreath and change it through the year.





Sometimes the stack of coasters works as the third item.





I have sometimes chosen green branches for a vase arrangement when things are not flowering in my yard. I make a green arrangement with even pine, grasses, small palm fronds. An amber glass vase on my corner table holds a single elephant-ear leaf and it gives a serene look.
