Jewish Exponent – Lights of the Round Table
One reason centerpieces are changing is because they no longer carry the weight of bringing color to an affair. Linens, glassware, plates, fabric draping, napkins, and chair covers now do their share of adding color to the reception room and tabletop, creating greater freedom on how centerpieces can be used, notes Lynda Barness of I Do Wedding Consulting in Center City.”Fresh fruits and vegetables now take starring roles,” Barness says, both in arrangements and plated on the table. For example, starfruits cut in a vase with limes provide a yellow-green tint to the table, she says.
