Carnations, chrysanthemums, hydrangea, roses, alstroemeria, eustoma, spring flowers like daffodils or tulips, roses, the list is endless.
For a more refined table setting with flowers, try to pick flowers to match the candlesticks, for example, delicate orange roses and glass candlesticks on a white tablecloth and white dishes will look amazing. Small delicate pink roses do not need a selection of color combinations and are suitable for almost any table and any style. Bright red and burgundy roses usually attract all the attention so it is better to leave the general background neutral – white or cream shades will be perfect.
If your flowers are not bright enough and get lost on the background of festive dishes, use contrasting colors to highlight them. For example, yellow flowers will become brighter on a violet background, orange – on blue, pale pink – on green. Use colored napkins, draperies, candle holders to create a contrasting background around the bouquet.
