Wedding Orchids Centerpieces
The colors are picked, the dress is being fitted and the cake has
been ordered and now the wedding orchid centerpieces are to be
discussed. What to do, a lot of money has already been spent, what can
be done to keep this stunning wedding on track? Wedding centerpieces for
the bride and grooms table do not need to be sacrificed for the event
by cutting the cost of the centerpieces for the rest of the tables. We
can do this by using clear glass vases and water. We are going to
submerge your flowers. This will allow you to use those spectacular
orchids that were in your wedding and carry the theme to the table
centerpieces.

This is a simplistic way to have dramatic
eye-catching centerpieces. Start with a selection of clear glass vases.
These can be purchased at a floral supply store or even can be rented
from a party supply store in your area. I suggest the rental approach.
The types of vases can vary greatly. Tall cylinders or square and short
circular fishbowl types are just some of what is out there. Pick out the
vase based upon the flower or flowers you will be looking to put into
the vase.

Fresh flowers are the best to consider, however if silk is the
choice then pre-check the flower for dye bleeding. They must be
permanent dye to be used. Remember water makes everything look bigger so
if a thread is hanging off a silk flower it will show twice as big in
water. Orchids for wedding centerpieces are a superb choice when in
combination with other flowers. To help keep the cost down use other
stemmed flowers and still make an outstanding display.

Tulips can
add an elegant touch to the wedding arrangements. These flowers hold
well in water and have a wide range of colors to choose from. Other
flowers to consider are snapdragons. Combine orchid blooms the end
result is striking. This, by far, is one of the best pairings of flowers
to use in this style of presentation. Both do well in water and will
hold up for quite a while. This will give you or the staff helping in
the decorating of the tables more lead time to prepare the table
centerpieces. Using dendrobium and phalaenopsis orchids would be
preferable. Long stems to match the snapdragons will help with the
placement in the vases.
When choosing orchid centerpieces for
weddings, a submerged orchid display is an easy and fast way to
accomplish a dramatic centerpiece.
