FROM THE PUBLISHER

A big, beautiful bouquet on the table, in all its seasonal glory--or a pretty and personal bud next to every plate? Small clay pots filled with fragrant herbs (like rosemary) by each setting, and decorations that double as party favors. Everything about your wedding should be special and individual--and all brides want the reception hall to evoke their romantic images of that once-in-a-lifetime drama. If you've been looking for inspiration, you'll find it in these exquisite full color photographs of centerpieces for both indoor and outdoor parties. Some feature the traditional floral displays, while other ideas break new ground: develop a design theme; set out unusual containers from simple glass bowls to vintage watering cans to terracotta pots; and go with alternatives such as candles, fruits, ornaments, and trays piled with little treats. Your centerpiece will really be something to celebrate!
