1. Boxwood Backdrops Lush and verdant, faux boxwood mats hung on walls create a gorgeous backdrop for events that brings the outside in. Hang several of our 20 x 20in Boxwood Mats at the end of the wedding aisle and attach dozens of bright silk flowers for a ceremony background that’s perfect for a fairytale romance. Boxwood mats hung behind the bar, the buffet or dessert tables and then adorned with butterflies is equally whimsical and charming.

2. Monochromatic Centerpieces 2017 calls for elegant and refined monochromatic centerpieces that add an air of sophistication to events. Arrange blooms and plants in the same color family, like these Lady’s slipper orchids, green jade roses, jasmine vines, coleus fishnet stockings, and unripened peaches in our stately Antique Black Lion Handle Urn, and then display these centerpieces down the length of dining tables for a refined look.

3. Everything Peonies Roses, move aside: everything’s coming up peonies this year. With their large blooms and sumptuous colors, peony arrangements stun as centerpieces, especially when surrounded by pretty candlelight from glass candle holders. Choose rich pink peonies, arrange them in a glass vase, then accent them with tea lights in our 4 ½in Cut Glass Squares Votive Holders. Let peonies grace the rest of the event space too, with large, pale pink arrangements for the bar.

4. Moroccan Accents Gilded Moroccan accents add sensuality and a touch of wanderlust to event decor that’s very of the moment. Use our Antique Bronze Mahal & Taj Square Lanterns to create an intimate and warm glow around the space. Pair the lanterns with silk flowers in dark shades of red and purple and richly patterned tapestries hung behind or above tables for texture. Plush cushions and soft fabrics spread across seating areas make the space even more enticing, turning your event into a destination.

5. Potted Plant Centerpieces Potted plants go from shabby to chic in 2017, especially as centerpieces. The key is to group plants in pots with clean, smooth lines, like our 4in & 6in Antique Brass Vases. Arrange the plants in groups along the table for a breath-of-fresh-air vibe that’s very modern garden party.

6. Decorating With Natural Elements Reconsider how you can bring outdoor elements indoors this year by deconstructing nature with small pieces scattered around an event space. Split our 24-in Fern Bush and place a few stems in our Clear Medicine Bottle Bud Vases; the look is delicate and pretty, arranged on a mantel or table. The bud vases can also be used to hold small, single flower stems, putting the spotlight on their natural beauty without distractions.

8. Single-Flower Arrangements Bud vases are lovely for small flowers, but dare to go big in 2017 too with oversized blooms using one flower for the whole arrangement. A great way to show off large blooms like dahlias, garden roses, sunflowers, or ranunculus, is with a tight bouquet in our shiny Polished Brass Vases.
