Deciding on table decorations is one of the most exciting aspects of the party planning process. While vases of flowers are beautiful and traditional, try thinking beyond the norm. Talk to your florist about any new ideas they have for centerpieces.

Reneé Merfert, Owner and Creative Director of Eleganté Flowers in Madison Heights, thrives on innovation in floral design.  "Utilizing objects of different shapes and materials allows endless possibilities for centerpieces," says Merfert.  The photo featured in this article is a piece created by Merfert using a crystal chandelier.  Merfert continued, "Finding inspiration in everyday things turns the ordinary into extraordinary."

When planning your next event, think about centerpieces as more than just flowers in vase.  Talk with your event planner and floral designer about a twist on the usual centerpiece.  Chances are, you will be amazed at the ideas they suggest.
