Eiffel Tower vases - for centerpieces

We'llAlwaysHaveParis, on March 22, 2013 at 10:44 AM Posted in Style and Décor 1 6

How tall so that guests can see around it easily.

16" maybe

I don't want anything too tall either and I think there's a fine line. Help!

    When I was at work one day, I took sticky notes and measured the different heights from my desk and put them on the wall. It helped me visualize the potential height of my vases and arrangements. I'm short, 16" would be fine for me, but I found that 20-24" would be ideal for every other average height person. Maybe try something like that to see what you need.

    Just a hint -- the taller the eiffel, the more careful you're going to want to be about what you put in or on top of it. If it becomes too top heavy, it won't take much more than a bump to knock it over. A few stems would be fine, but don't overload them.

    Yes, and I've heard to weight the bottoms of them.

    I have an appt with a florist in June so I'll make sure we discuss the potential issues. We're having a ballroom reception so I just feel like we need the height to break up the massive space - particularly because our wedding is relatively small - maaaaybe 100 guests in a space that can fit 300.

    @Nicole that's a smart idea! I had a florist tell me that you should go no lower than 20" so that people don't have to lean down to talk to one another, but who knows, people are different heights.
