Beyond the Centerpiece: Every wedding reception needs at least one design that will get the town talking

摘要

A dramatic piece ot sandblasted grapevine (available from various suppliers online) is at the heart of the centerpiece on the opposite page Together with the wood box container, it makes a profitable rental item, for which you would charge separatelyfrom the floral design itself Rather than relying on plaster to position the grapevine within the box, it's much better to use cross-pieces of wood (two-by-fours work fine), affixed to the grapevine and to the box with wood screws The screws provide better security than plaster, and when you need to store the piece, they can be simply unscrewed and the wood stored separately On the sides of the box, the screw heads are covered with moss Rather than gluing the moss directly to the box, lay duct tape over the screws first, so you can remove the moss cleanly later on Fresh flowers are arranged in plastic-wrapped foam inside the box, with the final touches glued to the top of the driftwood on site.
