Getting the TABLE CENTRES right!20 August 2025Choosing the right table centre will make all the difference to your event. Intimate Venue For a smaller low ceilinged room there is nothing better than a bundle of perfumed, largeheaded roses with a few sprigs of foliage in a small vintage rose bowl . . . or a dumply little jug - to give a cosy cottage feel that will really contribute to the intimacy of a smaller gathering. Depending on the time of the year, if you'd like to keep things seasonal you could perhaps swap out the roses for a colourful variety of short stemmed spring flowers. At some venues you will have long narrow tables, not leaving much room on the table for a bowl or jug of flowers, in which case a slim vase might work better, giving more room on the table. PREPARATION When meeting with the Wedding co-ordinator for your wedding venue it would be an idea to ask for a list of everything that will be going on the table - you may be surprised! This is not to put you off, but to make sure that we get the presentation right. Correct visuals will not only make things easier on the eye, but facilitae better 'table management on the day'.
