Is this centerpiece too big? Will i even notice my flowers the day of? diy vs real?

I think the centerpiece is too wide. It will take up a lot of room on the table. You could probably attach the bouquet on the arch with rope

If I cut the flowers shorter would it take up less room? I have a green foam ring in the middle so I don't mind either way as long as it's not showing.

Thank you!

How big and what shape is ur tables

View Quoted Comment

They're 60" round tables with 8 guests per table.

There is a guide on the internet to understand the size of a place setting in comparison to table size, from that you can determine the max size of your centerpiece.

I think with a round table the size of that centerpiece would be just fine. It's beautiful

Without knowing the width if the centerpiece, just guestimating from the photo you should be fine....when I worked at a florist we sometimes double checked on tables in the planning stages also to show to couples
With the arch you could use rope, but wire could do it with blending in better as well

PHXBride - I just scoured the internet for the last 15 minutes. I think I saw that it should be a 1/3 of the size but I may have read the diagram wrong. Thank you though!

Ashley - Thank you so much!

AtoK - That's smart, thank you. I'm touring our venue with FH in a few weeks, maybe I'll sneak a tape measurer in. I'd say it's ~14" large for the centerpiece, if I remember correctly. I'm not home to check.

What kind of wire would be strong enough to hold it up? I like that idea!

View Quoted Comment Floral wire is available in green and white. Check old time pottery if you have one or micheals. Hobby lobby etc. It’s really strong!

I like the center piece but i do think its too much. If you want flowers you could sprinkle flower petals around the lantern instead

I think it's beautiful. If it's a round table it would be perfect. . Square may be a bit too big

You can also get Garland Ties to attach to the Arch

I think those center pieces are seriously AMAZING! People will be talking abiut how great they look! You can def just use a floral wire & hang bouquets from the arch it would hold just fine!

I love your centerpieces! Just make sure your tables are large enough. It should look great!

And I think two bouquets would work on the arch. Why not?

I love your centerpiece, this is what I am thinking of doing as well. I think it will fit just fine on round tables.

Can I ask where you got the lantern? Is that also from AC Moore?

I agree that the centerpiece is too big. Lift up the lantern on some foam, this way, the flowers become the base. Nice flowers!!

I really really love your centerpiece and if you tables are going to be as big as you say they are then these should fit perfectly

Without seeing it on the actual table it's hard to say but it does look like it may be a little large... a lot winds up on tables, even besides the main plate for dinner, butter dishes, baskets of bread, salad dressings, wine glasses, water glasses, drinks from the bar... plus stuff like cameras, phones, small purses... I would error on the side of caution and go smaller. Think of it this way, smaller means less materials so it will be easier to get what you need

Its hard to tell the size of your centerpiece from the picture but i like it!!

also, you can totally use fake flowers for th arch. My bff just did this, we used flower wire.

Your centerpieces are amazing. I’m doing the same thing but mines are way smaller! I love the way yours Came out!!! Love love!!
