Tall Flower Arrangements to Inspire Your Reception Centerpieces

To achieve height, most florists will begin with glass or crystal vases, gilt risers, or candelabra and top them with lush blooms including roses, hydrangeas, dahlias, and orchids, or a mix of the couple's favorite wedding flowers. Additional options include stock, branches or curly willow, greenery, or even driftwood to add height and create a rustic, tree-like arrangement. Especially ideal for event spaces with high ceilings or those wedding receptions taking place in tents, tall flower arrangements help to create a cohesive look that breaks the barrier between low tables and high ceilings, drawing guests' eyes upward. Also, if you've always wanted an outdoor wedding, but the weather of the season doesn't permit an alfresco soirée, you can create a garden-inspired look indoors with tall, lush arrangements of flowers and foliage – even adding in trees to bring the outside in. No matter what the setting, tall floral arrangements and centerpieces create an opulent atmosphere.
