"Instead of hunting for sterling silver, antique, or vintage vases, use a small silver ice or wine bucket to pack with blooming stems. Cutting the flowers so that the buds just peak over the silver rim adds to the elegance of this easy-to-make yet impressive presentation. Following Ina Garten's genius trick for styling flowers perfectly in a vase, you can cluster multiples of these smaller arrangements in a group to build a larger centerpiece."
"As you set out to create Ritz-worthy centerpieces for your table, think beyond flower arrangements and look to the seasons for added guidance and inspiration. Branches, garden herbs, and leaves can be incorporated into your designs, and seasonal vegetables like pumpkins, carrots and artichokes can add interest to your tablescapes. Pair different heights of candles to build an intriguing display and add warmth to your space."
Intention and simple styling can make any dining area feel date-worthy, even when dining alone. Small silver ice or wine buckets can substitute for vases and be packed with blooming stems, with flower buds trimmed to just peek over the rim for added elegance. Grouping multiple small arrangements builds a larger centerpiece. Incorporating branches, garden herbs, leaves, or seasonal vegetables like pumpkins and artichokes adds seasonal interest. Carefully lit candles at varying heights, a bright fruit bowl, or a linen table runner provide warmth, color, and instant refinement to a table setting.
