Fab 5: Bright, bold centerpieces

Happy December everyone! We got our first real snowfall of the season yesterday through this morning, and after getting stuck in a white-out snow squall on the turnpike last night, I could use a little brightening up! So I give you five deliciously colorful centerpieces to brighten up your table.

  1. Hot Pink

    I used fuchsia at my own wedding, so it will always hold a soft place in my heart. This bright pink floral arrangement, balanced with a bit of green from the pears underneath, sits atop pink table linens.

  2. Faux Floral

    For a more abstract touch, decorate your tabletop with works of art, like this metal flowers sculpture painted bright blue, green and yellow.

  3. Fluorescent Flowers

    Whoa! Yeah, this is bright. On top of a black tablecloth, these babies practically glow. (Tip: If you're using this color scheme, please let your bridesmaids wear black dresses--unless you want them to hate you.)

  4. Mix-matched Blooms

    Arrange a few, small mismatched vases on your table and fill them each with a different brightly colored bloom or two for a casual feel.

  5. Bold Hues

    Top your table with a large bowl of boldly red carnations, and they'll just pop off a pale aqua and white color scheme.
