Towering centerpieces, perfect for a high-ceilinged space, add drama and elegance to tables. These arrangements draw the eye upward and can become a stunning focal point at your wedding reception. While tall centerpieces often use flowers like ivory roses, hydrangeas, and orchids, you can also incorporate greenery, branches, or candles for variety and texture. Bonus: Their height allows for conversation underneath, making them both beautiful and practical for gatherings.
