Our virtual banquet continues with an element that absolutely cannot be missing from a table: the centerpiece.
Whether high or low, sumptuous or minimal, a hint of a centerpiece must not be missing.
Recently, the country chic style has been very fashionable and is well suited to our country locations such as our beloved Podere Pendolino www.poderependolino.com the location we own.
the country centrepiece: it has very free shapes, green and natural shades prevail. It will consist of aromatic plants (thyme, rosemary, sage, lavender) and small bushes perhaps with berries.
The materials will be more or less smooth wood, tins, copper and other natural materials, warm to the touch and the eye. The flowers can be wild or simple such as the beloved daisies, the sunflower, the hydrangeas and even the little roses.
A traditional romantic centrepiece: green light for the classic variety of roses, peonies, hydrangeas embraced by little invasive and very graceful green mists. The materials will be more sumptuous for example silverware, crystals, mirrors.
Modern contemporary centerpiece: we will have tulips, calla lilies, long-stemmed and stylized flowers such as Anthurium, orchids, those found in many modern locations. Steel and ceramic will be the containers slightly enriched by a stylized green that is never too bulky.
Remember: Candles everywhere!
So this is just a hint of the architectural style of our centerpieces. Our Ceremonies Manager, Rosy, will show you dozens and dozens of photographs in which she has collected her centerpiece compositions over the years. It's really curious to see how the styles, the small and large details, the combinations change.
We will talk about the changing style in a future article.
