Dinner should not be interrupted by phone calls.

Seasonal centerpieceFill a clear but simple trough with seasonal paperwhites or amaryllis bulbs embedded within vibrant green moss. It's a balanced blend of traditional and architectural, and will last for weeks.
Singular impactThe pop of a monochromatic floral arrangement in any room is dramatic and fresh.
It draws attention with its simplicity.
Mirrored containersFor added sparkle in a traditional space, antique mirrored boxes are great for floral arrangements, plants, and even trees. Semi-permanent juniper trees displayed in oversized versions of these mirrored boxes are amazing statement pieces.
Extraordinary orchidsWhen decorating with orchids, group the same variety and color together for greater effect.
Accessories with flower powerSimple, modern accessories in neutral tones and materials are best when creating eclectic mixes within a traditional space. I love the Floral Art sepia toned "Peony Tray" for this. It's classic, has an edge, and brings the beauty of flowers into the space.
Flowers as artStriking, graphic photos of flowers (in color or black and white) offer
an artful way to bring blooms into any room.
Edible entertainingFresh nasturtiums or pansies beautifully adorn a salad or appetizer tray.
And they're edible!
Vase selectionEnsure that you choose the proper vase for each surface. Rectangular and square vases look
best on rectangular tables. For round tables, either round or square will work.
Easy and eye-catchingFor instant Zen, float white blossoms (orchids work well) in a simple glass bowl filled with water.
A lot for a littleGet a great vase with a small opening. You won't have to use a lot of flowers,
which will save money but still manage to impress.
