E
levated centerpieces
always create a dramatic
impact in a room,
whether that room is
a dining room in a home or a
ballroom in a hotel or country
club. Often, though, the beautiful
fl owers are above the eyesight
of seated guests, so this two-
tier design, featuring a sleek
clear glass cylinder vase as the
"pedestal," allows for fl owers at
table level to be appreciated by
guests during dinner, as well
as an elevated arrangement to
create a spectacular eff ect in
a large space.
Designs of this type can assume
many personalities, and this
composition transitions from
artful, contemporary and
sophisticated on the bottom
to traditional and rustic, shabby-
chic or even vintage on top—
a successful blending of two
aesthetics to accommodate
the varying tastes of, say, a
nuptial couple merging their
distinctive lives.
This seamless dual-level
design beautifully coalesces
two aesthetics into a single
harmonious composition.
