Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or planning a big celebration like a wedding or anniversary, one of the best ways to dress up your event space is by working with a florist to design stunning centerpieces. That being said, the perfect floral arrangement should also include complementary decor elements that enhance the natural beauty of these blooms and tie into your unique style. If you’re looking for ways to elevate your centerpieces, consider adding one of the following non-floral decor items. 

4 Ways to Enhance Your Floral Arrangement With Eye-Catching Decor

1. Mercury Vases

If you’re interested in romantic floral arrangements like tulips or hydrangeas that are simple in color but stunning in appearance, pair these flowers with mirrored silver or gold mercury vases. This clean yet luxurious element will add a touch of class and drama to your table that’s ideal for afternoon tea or a spring engagement party.

2. Lanterns

Beyond dressing up the table, your centerpiece should help provide ambiance. One great way to combine both aspects is to incorporate lanterns into your floral arrangement. Whether you find larger lanterns to fill with flowers or smaller ones to house candles, this juxtaposition of plantlife and light creates a whimsical and romantic aesthetic. To accentuate the rustic charm of your lanterns, create bouquets of white roses and purple carnations with ivy, fern, and eucalyptus. 

3. Vintage Glassware

The perfect centerpiece is beautiful and fits seamlessly into the overall aesthetic of the space. If the room you’re decorating is historic, don’t hesitate to add a touch of flair by using mismatched vintage glassware as part of the tablescape. Should you decide to go with champagne flutes, goblets, or coup glasses in vintage pinks, greens, or ambers, ask your florist to complement these touches with romantic blooms in blush and lavender or dramatic roses for an antique look. 

4. Tree Slabs & Wood Boards

Whether you’re planning an outdoor wedding or looking for ways to channel the natural beauty of the forest in your event space, incorporating raw tree slabs or an assortment of wooden boards and platters is a great way to add texture and a touch of enchantment. To play up your forest theme, go with dainty wildflowers, generous sprigs of greenery, and unique additions like pine cones or branches.
