This is part 8 of 8 - "Wedding Centerpieces" - Measurement Guidelines.
The "Wedding Centerpieces Series" was posted every Friday in August and September.

A consideration to think about when consulting with your floral designer, is the size of your Wedding Centerpieces. Much of the final measurements will depend on your table size. Also, if you are having a buffet meal, you will typically have more room on the table, vs. a fully plated meal will have more items on the table - ie, cups & saucers, bread plates, chargers, stemware etc.

The width or diameter of the centerpiece should be in proportion to your table size. The height should either be taller than 22" OR lower than 10". Anything that sits between 10" and 22" in height will block the view amongst your guests and limit their interaction with each other. As well, their view of the head table or speeches/podium may be restricted.
