1. In the cloud
Placing the centerpieces on top “adds wow factor” to any environment, Sarah Rasmussen Davis, owner of The Red Petal. Whether your floating flowers are strung into lights, hung on ribbon ends or grouped in sculptural shapes, they will make a statement.

2. Colors, colors, colors

White and pastels lose their power against bright and vibrant colors. Kimberly Group, owner of Walker Flowers, sees this as “a celebration of hope, joy, and a living future with possibilities.” A practical option, too, since pent-up demand for wedding flowers has made traditional white more difficult and expensive to find.

3. Long and thin

Done correctly, the raised centerpieces won’t block your view and will create more table space as well. Although it’s not a new concept, says Belle Fiori owner Emily Neubauer, the popular trend is adding drama with modern metal stands or smooth, clear glass.
4. A combination of fresh and forever

Everything natural is blended with flowers, whether they are dried or dyed, bleached or painted. Mixing plants with flowers “is my favorite style,” says Deb Fowler, owner of The Flower Lady in Wauwatosa. Bonus: After the fresh flowers wilt, the dried plants become souvenirs.
