Fancy tall flower arrangements

Tall flower arrangements for guest tables are decadent, almost a luxury for most weddings. Remember, these are usually given away to a guest at each table, so if you’re giving away the entire arrangement, vase and all, that very well can be a $55 to $75 arrangement you’re giving away.

But if you’ve got the budget, how can you resist? Check out these rose arrangements on top of a trumpet vase. Talk about classy! The vases are filled with water and a sprig of ivy, and the rose arrangements have some bear grass in and out of the roses. The simplest arrangements are always so gorgeous.

Here’s another tall arrangement where some of its heft is taken up by fruit! The fat trumpet vase would look awfully plain if those lemons and limes weren’t hin there. The arrangement on top consists of yellow and white roses, white lilies with a yellow tinge, big sprigs of lemon leaf and other greens.

This photo was actually taken by an old high school friend of mine, Hoang. Heheh, most tall vase arrangements have just one sprig of flowers in the vase, but this one has two sprigs of Hawaiian orchids, on top of those clear pebbles. I can see the top is also wrapped with greens, which makes me suspect that the vase and the arrangement were not attached, so that guests could take the arrangements and leave the vases. That’s one way to get the look and not spend too much on the giveaway.

Here’s another photo from Hoang, from another wedding. (She goes to some fancy weddings!) I don’t think this trumpet vase has water in it, but it does have the black pebbles and the sprig of orchids inside it. Heheh, I love the colors of it — I’m partial to purple — and I like its trailing quality….the bear grass kind of just hanging off it. If there was a breeze, I’m sure the grass would be floating to and fro. And, if you click the photo, you’ll see the table is overlaid with organza, which is a nice detail.
