Summer is the season of parties. Casual get togethers, formal dinners and picnics – if you’re inviting family and friends over for some nosh, honour your guests by adding special touches to the dinner table. Going that extra step can make your guests feel more special and the event more memorable. After all, isn’t it what a host is supposed to do?

What You Can Do
The dinner table is most likely where your guests will spending most of their time, which means you need to make it as attractive as possible. Flowers are the easiest way to do this. Here are some easy ways to add pizazz:

Fast and easy: get a floral centrepiece. Just one centrepiece placed in the middle of the table will do wonders. You want something that’s not too high and not too big, since you don’t want people to think it’s a nuisance.

Decorate the napkins by placing a single flower stem on each, either tucked into the napkin or placed carefully on top. You’ll want to choose something like miniature roses or chrysanthemums to do this, since they don’t wilt as quickly as other types of flowers. Call us for reduced pricing of miniature flowers that have been properly conditioned to preserve their longevity.

Ask your florist to create flower garlands that may be woven through the back of each guest’s chair.

Think white tablecloths are boring? Just sprinkle some pink or red rose petals across the table for instant wow. 416-Florist.com offers 12 cups of petals (700 petals to cover 12 square feet) for only $29.99.

Dedicate a flower to each guest by placing one in a smaller bud vase near every table setting. You can even get creative and place them in different containers.
