Budget friendly table centerpieces- Floataway Cafe

This week we did flowers for a wonderful woman's 90th birthday dinner party.  Her friends came in to ask about flowers for their tables at the Floataway Cafe.  I've been to this restaurant many times- its airy, cozy and relaxing atmosphere is a great spot to host an intimate affair.

We didn't have a large budget for the tables, but they wanted something "sweet and pretty".  I suggested doing a collection of bud vases on the main table and the side tables, and they loved the idea!  This fit their lower end budget, but even more exciting-- it gave each guest an opportunity to bring a bud vase home with them after dinner.

The birthday girl wanted mostly soft pinks and peaches.  Here's what we did......

 

We used veronica, roses, stock flower, lisianthus, variegated pittosporum, hypericum berries and spray roses.

My photos came from my phone again, so they are not fantastic photos.  My point of posting was to emphasize that you don't need a big budget to make an impact!  Try using collections of different sized vases or containers and do a little something different in each one.  This makes for interesting aesthetics, and gives your guest a nice parting gift after the party!
