Tall vs. Short flower centerpiece ratio

Courtney, on April 24, 2017 at 3:57 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 10

I am doing tall and short flower arrangements for my reception. I have a head table that will have garland on it and 19 round tables. Is there a good ratio to determine how many short you should have and how many tall you should have?

    How about half and half? That's what I'm doing.

    eta: I have an uneven number of tables, so it will probably be 7 short and 8 tall.

    In your case I would do 9 high and 10 low assuming the lows are more cost efficient.

    I did half and half. But honestly, I ended up loving the shorter centerpiece better than the tall and wished I would've done them all short.

    I love this idea. It hadn't occurred to me. Thanks!

    We have 18 tables and are doing 6 tall and 12 low. Biggest thing is just to give the room demention, plus I actually like the mock of the short more so we are doing primarily those!

    Just some input.. I hate attending weddings that have big tall centerpieves. You can't see the others at the table and it's difficult to have conversations.

    Good question. I have a dozen-ish tables planned at the moment. I was thinking four tall and eight low. FH brought up the not being able to see and hold convos. Now I'm wondering if we should just do all of them low and use the tall ones for our sweetheart table or other decor

    I agree with Jamie, but think Cass may have the solution here!

    We have only six tables. Our four corners will be tall and the two center tables will be short.
