Arrangements and Centerpieces can completely transform a home for a party if done right. My friend Debbie is the ultimate hostess and she has shared with me some ideas and tricks of the trade she uses to spiffy up her house when she entertains. Debbie and her friend Jeanne have come up with really original and beautiful arrangements and have agreed to share a few with me. Enjoy!
Below are two pictures of the same vignette in her home but the arrangements have been done two different ways. The first photo is from an engagement party she hosted. The bowl on the console contains Sedum (the bright green), Moss (darker green), and red limbs she cut off a bush from her friends house!! I LOVE THIS LOOK!! I love the height it gives and also the bright fun colors.

This is the same vignette but with a different arrangement... the bowl is filled with oranges for Thanksgiving last week. The oranges are very unexpected and bring out the painting.

I'm not sure what this plant is... but I love how it compliments the glass piece! And BTW... notice the painting in the left corner... that's an Eric Abrecht I posted about his artwork here
And last but not least is the centerpiece Debbie used for her Thanksgiving table this year... So Festive!
Cabbages, pumpkins, and sticks (from her back yard) are all used to bring you this stunning piece.
What they don't clip out of their own back yards - Debbie and Jeanne get from their local nursery and here is their trick... In all these photos the plants are taken out of their black containers and put in plastic sandwich baggies so she can plant them in her yard after the party. Now isn't that a great idea?!?! More economical than buying cut flowers that will die in a few days!!
