Are you looking for a way to really make a statement with your wedding centerpieces? Do you want a design that is fresh, contemporary, and gorgeous? Then check out the great trend of fabulous submerged flower wedding centerpieces.
Submerged floral centerpieces are a really cool twist on the traditional wedding table décor. The basic ingredients are a tall clear cylinder (or tall square) vase, tall flowers or branches of berries, and of course, plenty of water. There are a variety of floral options that will hold their form beautifully under water, and there is something in a color to suit any season or palette.
The style of your wedding centerpieces should be a strong match to the general feeling of your wedding. Submerged flower centerpieces are great because they can be designed to complement a wide variety of wedding themes. For example, if you are having a formal evening wedding with lots of crystal bridal jewelry, you can use the submerged flowers not as a stand alone centerpiece, but as an accent in the vase which will have a full and lush bouquet set on the top. This is a fantastic way to incorporate a breath of fresh air into a formal wedding. If you like, you can even have the florist hang teardrop crystals from the top bouquet to coordinate with your crystal bridal jewelry.
For an elegant wedding, the perfect flower to submerge is orchids. Their form is ideal: multiple blossoms on one long stem, and they hold their shape very well under the water. Orchids come in a breathtaking array of colors and even some really interesting patterns, such as spotted orchids. To be really on point with the trend, bright green orchids are ideal. Bold orange orchids are another favorite for submerged floral centerpieces, as are luxe purple ones. The best part is that you only need one or two stems of orchids per vase, so you can get the luxurious effect of the exotic flower without investing much of your wedding budget.
Another excellent flower to use for a submerged centerpiece is the tulip. You take a bunch of tulips, long stems and all, and plunge them into the vase as one group. This looks especially pretty if you slightly twist the stems so that they swirl around the outer edge of the glass. Tulips are very nice for spring weddings in cheery colors like pink and yellow. Because the tulips have a more definite top than the orchids, this is a flower that would look the best as a stand alone centerpiece, without an additional bouquet perched on top.
Berries are another wonderful idea for submerged centerpieces. Particularly popular are hypericum berries, which are a florists’ favorite. Russet colored berries would be fantastic for a fall wedding. You can add in a branch with a small scale blossom in a complementary color such as yellow, or let the berries be the center of attention. This makes a lovely display for a simple autumn wedding. Simply surround the vase with some chunky cream colored pillar candles for an easy but elegant centerpiece.
Submerged flower centerpieces are a terrific addition to almost any style of wedding. They are very chic and modern, and yet they can also be reasonably priced and easy enough to do yourself. When you can get so much style for such little effort, you know that you have found a winning design!

Orchid Blues (Holly Barker Novels) $3.48 Chief of Police Holly Barker-the heroine introduced in the New York Times bestselling Orchid Beach-returns with her trusty Doberman, Daisy, to track an unusual band of thieves in this second thriller in Stuart Woods’s newest and most captivating series. "Holly Barker-tough and tight-lipped-is fun to watch as she maneuvers among city politicians and wary colleagues, one of whom may be a murderer." (Entertainment Weekly review of Orchid Beach) Holly is on her way to be married to Jackson Oxenhandler, her steady beau, when her wedding day is shattered by a serious crime that takes place very close to home. A highly disciplined team of men hit a bank in Orchid Beach, Florida, and the waves from this robbery nearly capsize Holly’s life. She vows to find these men-who have been careful enough to leave nothing behind except the corpse of a bank customer-and quickly, she discovers evidence that leads her into the midst of what appears to be a politically motivated clan. Her father, Ham, a retired army chief master sergeant, is her ticket into this strange world, and what Ham inds there stuns both Holly and her FBI contact, Harry Crisp. Holly and Ham find themselves sucked into a whirlpool of crazed criminality and, in the end, the FBI can do little to help them. This time, Holly, Ham, and Daisy are on their own, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. |
