Last month Temporary Tropics debuted its 46-inch-high Palm Table Centers. The tall and slender pieces with real palm fronds on top hover above guests' heads to help create a tropical setting without obstructing the views of those seated at tables. Gold-toned spandex covers a metallic base, and fiber-optic wands or LED lighting can be incorporated into the greenery. The centerpieces are priced between $60 and $75 based on the lighting options chosen. Customized spandex colors are available for an additional fee. —Vanessa Goyanes
