Table Centerpiece Idea for Every Occasion
I’ve designed centerpieces for dozens of events, and the most versatile trick I’ve found is the layered riser. It adds height and drama without costing a fortune.
Start with a stack of books, a upside-down bowl, or a cake stand as your base. Drape a piece of elegant fabric or a lace runner over it. Now, build your theme:
Dinner Party: Place a low vase of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) on top—it’s fragrant and chic. Surround the base with tea lights in small glass holders.
Summer BBQ: Use a wooden crate as your base. Fill a mason jar with sunny daisies and surround it with lemons and limes.
Formal Event: A tall, clear vase filled with water and a single submerged orchid or calla lily is breathtakingly modern. Add a few floating candles around the base.
