Flower Free Centrepieces That Didn’t Skimp on Elegance.

Event tabletops don’t need florals and greenery to be beautiful.

Typically, centrepieces and tabletops are a chance for an event and floral designers to create eye-catching displays of lush flowers and greenery. For a change of pace, let us think outside the flower box for you, forgoing blooms for more unconventional materials—without sacrificing elegance. From ice sculptures and candles to wish bones and eggs, here’s a look at flower-free centrepieces used at recent galas, dinners, and festivals.

Inspired by the venue’s minimalist decor and clean lines, Luminato had custom-design tall, glowing centrepieces for its opening gala.
