centerpieces

In the center of the reception space, a reclaimed wood and cinder block communal table was surrounded by wooden stools and topped with tree peonies and candles in clear green and yellow-hued vases. The space beneath the table was filled with more greens, including Italian ruscus, Pangola grass, and Johnson grass.

Conceptbait Global Events & Florida Design Group used real graham crackers, Hershey’s bars, and two sizes of marshmallows to create centerpieces for  the launch party for Three Olives S’Mores Vodka Monday night at Hattricks Tavern in Tampa. Designers sprayed manzanita branches with dark brown paint and used a blow torch to char the marshmallows before attaching them to the branches.

The area sponsored by Ralph Lauren Home highlighted the brand's paint collection with paint cans filled with colorful blooms as centerpieces, paint-dipped wooden stirrers as place cards, and drop cloths and paint swatches as wall decor.

At Diffa Dining by Design's New York iteration in 2013, Kenneth Cobonpue placed plates and cups in organic shapes on a spare wood table. The minimalist setting allowed eyes to focus on the living centerpiece: a cluster of moss topped with bowls that held live Betta fish.
