Creative Containers
I am in the process of working with a friend to help plan her cocktail party wedding reception. The topic of flowers has come up several times in the past couple weeks and specifically about how to add colour to a room if you want to work with white or green flowers against a white backdrop.
This prompted me to think of containers- a great and underutilized means to inject colour and draw attention to a focal point. It is quite common to go for a clear glass container, a silver container or white porcelain.
How about these alternatives I have found; everything from antique tins, to tea cups, coloured glass goblets to textured material:
