Phalaenopsis Orchids Star in Dramatic Table Displays

February 3, 2011

Stunning phalaenopsis orchids bring an elegant and exotic touch to table displays. Whether you’re creating floral centerpieces for a winter wedding or table displays for a charity event or simply want to add artistic flare to your living room, the sumptuous blooms of Just Add Ice Orchids are the perfect choice for creating dramatic, breathtaking displays.

Floral designers prize Just Add Ice Orchids for their exotic beauty, generous color palette and sturdy durability. A wedding reception favorite, Just Add Ice orchid centerpieces and table displays can be created to feature and complement the bride’s colors or contrast colors to create the startling effects that are this year’s hottest wedding trend.

If you’re looking for a dramatic way to display cut Phalaenopsis Orchids, consider these ideas from floral designers:

  • Cut 3 large blooms from the orchid spike and place directly on the table linens. Depending on the wedding theme, crystals, small shells or starfish, tiny pinecones or small mirrored disks can be scattered among the orchids. Carry the theme to the dessert or candy table by scattering blooms here and there along the table. If embellishments (crystals, etc.) are used on the dining tables, scatter them loose swirls around the orchids.
  • A large single orchid blooms can also be floated in a shallow silver or crystal bowl either alone or floating amidst lit tea candles. For a more formal look, use pedestal crystal bowls.
  • “Individual unity” is not an oxymoron, it’s the new trend in wedding reception design. Wedding designers are mixing square tables with round ones, unifying the design with the same color linens. The same approach is being taken with reception table centerpieces. Vases of different shapes and sizes but all the same color are being used as centerpieces. Vase and orchid color are used to tie the displays together.
