The large square tables were decorated with 4 medium square vases. The bride liked an organic look: each vase was filled with a club moss plant – the dirt showed – and a phaelonopsis orchid stem was secured with a small piece of raffia to a thin branch. Some brown hypericum berries were added on top of the moss.

A late summer arrangement in a flaring vase.

3 stems of star of bethlehem ‘grew’ out of the center of the arrangement.

White fringed tulips ‘grew’ out of a textured base; the container was covered with baby artichokes.

Cellophane and rose petals were layered in a 31″ pillsner vase filled with water; the cellophane in water gives the illusion of crushed ice.
