Your dining table is more than a place to eat—it’s a focal point of the room. Orchids can readily transform your table into a conversation piece for you and your guests. Here are four different occasions that warrant an orchid centerpiece.
Going out to eat is wonderful, but hosting a luncheon at your home is an intimate way to show your guests how much you care. And with the upcoming holidays, what better way to kick off the festive season?
For a simple DIY project, place your orchids in decorative, individual vases or mason jars to allow the natural beauty of the flower to shine while adding a touch of fun!
Nothing gets the conversation going during a holiday gathering like an orchid centerpiece. This Thanksgiving or Christmas, you can evoke the warmth and cheer of the season while expressing your individual style. Add small pumpkins near the base of your orchid's pot for an added touch to the Thanksgiving decor. For Christmas, mini white orchids in a silver planter may be the perfect addition to your holiday decor.
For a true orchid theme for the holidays, use paper orchids as gift package decorations!
At birthday parties, your orchids can do double duty. While the dining room orchid centerpiece can serve as the focal point, you can give away mini orchids as party favors. As a fun activity, let each guest make their own personalized pots. You can also make the orchid the theme of the party itself.
Host your birthday party in the garden for a beautifully creative setting. In addition to the orchid centerpiece, add pastel-colored orchids as well as orchids of various sizes to decorative vases to complement the natural surroundings. For dessert, serve your guests orchid cupcakes and cake pops for a sinfully sweet way to pay homage to your favorite flower.
Who says you can only dress up your dining room table during parties or holidays? ‘Just because’ is a perfect excuse to pretty up your table with a terrarium. Terrariums aren't just decorations; they contain a story within each piece. The arrangement of your mini orchids and the accessories that you choose to accentuate each flower is a conversation all its own. You can also encourage your guests to create their own mini orchid terrarium at home with this step-by-step, easy-to-use guide.
