Glass Cylinders

Using simple glass cylinders can provide many different design options while keeping the look of arrangements streamline.  As you can see from these pictures, cylinders can host everything from the carefully placed Lady Slipper orchid on top to the montage of spider Mums and curly willow in the window at the bottom. 

Sometimes visibility at a table can be a problem when you use bulky arrangements, but if you are using 60-90" rounds then the chances are your guests are more likely to speak to the people on their right and left than shout across the table, anyway.  Therefore, having a large centerpiece for everyone to focus on can actually reduce the number of akward glances that might otherwise pass from one side to another.
