What A Centerpiece Would Say If It Could Talk

Look who's talking now--centerpieces! We often wonder what babies and pets are thinking, but have you ever wondered about a floral centerpiece? What would it say? Well, if flowers are feminine in any way, they'd probably ask for accessories. Just like the right pair of shoes and a fab purse can make a lady's outfit sing, the right décor accessories can turn up the volume on your event. In today's world of table décor, centerpieces alone are no longer enough. They need accessories! The visual effect could be so much more with just a few additional pieces. So, don't leave your centerpiece barely there, begging to be enhanced. Take these tips from the centerpieces themselves to learn how to make them stand out in the room.

Say It Ain't So
"I can hardly believe that you left me naked on the beach," says the frustrated tropical centerpiece. With all the beach-themed accessories around, like shells, river rocks, orchids and sand castles, there's no reason not to add a splash of color and ambiance to your presentation. Don't let the sun set on your table décor without applying this wave of wisdom.

Say It Again Sam
A classic centerpiece of roses would probably want candles repeated (get it?) throughout the room. Surrounded by tea light candles and votives, it can't help but shine bright and say, "Here's looking at me, kid!" Ah, candles and flowers - a timeless look that never goes out of style.

Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud
Even though black centerpieces already make a bold statement, if you ask one, it would probably would say, "Glam it up, baby!" Adding a touch of silver, gold, red or any other color (everything looks good with black) can bring out the highs and the lows of the color spectrum and make for a fabulous combination that you can be proud of.

Say What You Mean
Western centerpieces shoot straight from the hip. No talking trash here. Getting right to the point, literally, the cowboy boot vase exclaims that "a little cactus is all I need." Not wanting a lot of frilly accessories, it feels at home on the range with a few 4" cacti around the table and maybe some sawdust beneath its sole. And if you happen to be using a clear cowboy boot, fill 'er up with some coffee beans. That'll get your goat!

Say It With Style
There were no surprises when the take-my-breath-away arrangement in the trendy vase said, "Ooh, shower me with diamonds!" (She's such a flirt.) Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but they're a little expensive for table décor. Your best bet is to use the crushed glass instead, and sprinkle it at her feet. She won't know it's not the real thing - she is a centerpiece, after all. But, it's a stylish look that will make your tables sparkle.

When it comes to ways to enhance their appearance, these centerpieces have a lot to say. So the next time you're planning a party, accessorize your arrangements with some of these decorating ideas. You can pull all the elements together yourself or purchase them as one centerpiece set. That way, you'll know that you have everything you need.
