A couple of days before the wedding I called to ask if they might want to upgrade the low centerpieces to medium ones in mis-matched Tuscany containers.  The low, uniform small pots just looked lost on the tables and I knew this family wanted the reception to look loaded and abundant.

 The bride's Mother  decided she would trust my judgement, so she payed to have us buy 11 different Tuscany containers; clay urns, wire baskets, aged pots, etc; .   I placed the low arrangements inside each of the medium container's.  I filled in  with moss, dangling vines and grapes and we had some awesome center pieces!  The reception tables/chair covers were so saturated in wine/lilac that the center pieces stood out with a much needed variety and brought in the more relaxed , rustic feel the bride had wanted. 

      Each table had a name here is  "Florence" and  "Naples"    They sent these centerpieces home with guests and family.

The Crown piece from the outdoor wedding arch was reused above the sweetheart table.
