Rather than cut flowers, I like to use potted plants in my centerpieces; they last longer and I can transplant them to the garden when they’ve outgrown their time indoors. I also like my centerpieces to be low, so they don’t block crosstalk during dinner. Here’s an fun design idea that fits the bill on both counts (and it’s easy too!)…
6 square pots of Scotch moss (I used light and dark - $3.98 each, Home Depot) are placed in paper lunch bags and arranged in a checkerboard pattern on the table.
I cut the lunch bags to make them shorter -- they fit perfectly.
