Now that is MY kind of holiday table! Green and white. : )

Exquisite! The last arrangement seems almost impossible. How you get such abundance into that slim vase?!

The flowers are beautiful but it does look a little like a luncheon for the Hatfields and the McCoys, doesn’t it? 🙂

Those sugar flowers on the cake in the second picture are stunning!

True, nuts. Must be some hidden support structure as those types of flowers dont have rigid stems

I followed him for a while via Kaleb Wyse on Insta but got overwhelmed! Those arrangements are stunning.

So very Dutch

It goes without saying, but please feel free to add any pretty pictures you like.

That first pic is awful. Looks like a wall of _______between guests. Pass.

How to make big arrangement in smaller vase: floral foam.

Annie, I have tall silver trumpet vases just like that and unless I am using hydrangeas only, the method in that picture you posted is just how I arrange them too. Tall vessels are a great way to get lots of flowers on the table without obstructing views or conversation.

That table is gorgeous!! I adore the golden color on the wals, too….but that cake!!! Wow.

Annie, do you have a link to the website your information is from? It seems to have the sort of a, b, c instructions I need. Thanks!

I went to a dinner party at a friend’s house. She had lined the center of the table with live phalenopsis orchids in chinese footbaths. The orchids were so tall that when seated, the only thing in your line of sight was a thin orchid stem. It was gorgeous and did not at all seem like a barrier between the two sides of the table.

The topmost picture is from Denmark. It appears to be a very formal dinner. Do Danes perhaps stick to the etiquette rule that you do not talk across the table? And the concomitant rule that you talk to the person on your right for one course and the person on your left for the next course, changing direction with each course?

The flower arrangements are lovely. I do think I would have chosen something shorter for the dinner table in the first pic.

I'd never heard of Claus Dalby until he was mentioned by Laura of the gardenanswer channel on YouTube.

Scandinavia's Martha Stewart He has an instagram page and there are a lot of articles on him.

Why didn't I think of this?

Why?

Zalco, our niece did that for her wedding reception about three years ago. Hundreds of clear bud vases on 6 long tables. Her twin, friends, all of us who are aunties haunted goodwill, thrift stores, garage sales for a year ;) Just a stalk or two of white flower per vase - public is welcome at Seattle Wholesale Growers market a few days a month. I don't know where the vases went after the wedding - I didn't offer to store any.
