...........................................
Every Christmas I decorate a client’s home for their annual Christmas Tree-Cutting Party. This year was their 25th and final year for this event. Because of Covid situation, it was determined that the outdoor courtyard would be tented and floored to accommodate a sit down dinner in a much bigger space. 16 – 72” round tables clothed white and silver with Christmas green napkins and silver Chiavari chairs with green and white Christmas Stocking used as chair backs. Client’s flower color request is white with natural Christmas greens and woodsy accessories + silver.
The caterer and the client concluded that serving food family style would be the safest.
This quickly determined that the centerpiece must have as small a footprint as possible to make way for the platters that will occupy the middle of the table. This job was on a very short notice so in most part I had to come up with ideas that did not require sourcing supplies that are difficult to locate.
What I recommended was a Tall & slim Christmassy centerpiece lifted on a 12” Tall (4”dia.) heavyweight clear glass cylinders with river rock and water as anchor. Clear glass keeps the design looking light and lifted, and the mechanics used allows for precise placement of stems, into the water or free stemmed (without water source) which is possible when designing for a short term event.
I offered the client 3 choices of centerpiece design to choose from.
I suggested that it would be more interesting to have 2 styles of design – alternating tables for variation. One of the most important factor to consider was the production time, onsite. It was best to choose the
designs which were quick to produce for 2 pros working on site.
