A couple more centerpieces from the Young Life event. These are 2 variations on the same idea–LOTS of color in a cube vase with an interesting accent. The first one has roses(red intuition variety from rio– take a closer look! One of my favorite roses!), spider mums, hypericum, freesia and anemone. We added black accents with paper, ribbon, and colored wire. This would be a great way to add color to a wedding where the attendants were wearing black (which happens more often than you might think!)
The second arrangement has a lot more orange and no black accents, so the overall look is brighter. It’s made up of roses, freesia, asiatic lilies, kermit mums, anemone, and hypericum with lilly grass accents. We also used a piece of scrapbook paper under the vase to make the arrangement stand out more against the white tablecloth. This is one of my favorite inexpensive ideas for table decor. It’s a great way to bring in a theme like black & white damask.
Thanks again to Heather Boren for the photos!
