Why So Many Couples Love Having Low Wedding Centerpieces

When it comes to choosing the floral arrangements for your wedding reception tables, you have three main choices: tall centerpieces, low centerpieces, or a combination of both. It's true that incorporating both tall and short floral arrangements throughout your reception space helps to keep everything interesting as the eye sees the room as balanced when viewing the overall space; however, there's something to be said about the beauty of only showcasing low centerpieces.

There are a variety of reasons why one may choose to have only low centerpieces on their tablescapes. Some couples decide to do so in order to save money – lower arrangements are typically smaller, requiring less flowers and smaller vases – while others prefer that their guests be able to talk to each other from across the table without having to peer around a large arrangement of florals (though many wedding planners say not to worry). Others choose to incorporate smaller blooms in order to bring the focus to another design element, such as the place settings themselves, striking floral chandeliers overhead, or the surrounding landscape.
