How to Decorate With a Tall Flower Arrangement

Look at the surrounding area before placing the flower arrangement. Tall flower arrangements should become the focal point of the decor for the table or area where they are placed. If there are too many other decorative items, remove them and find a new home for them.

Fill the wall space behind the flower arrangement with artwork, a picture or mirror. The wall decor should be large enough to counterbalance the tall flower arrangement but not so large that it towers over it, detracting from it. Artwork should complement the arrangement or be simple in nature so the flower arrangement remains the focal point.

Two smaller items can be added to either side of the flower arrangement if it sits on a table. Small pillar candles, in colors complimentary to the flowers, or small decorative picture frames are two common choices. Arrangements that sit on the floor should not have any items flanking the vase.

Add fruit, potpourri, silk flowers or greenery to the inside of a clear vase. Use minimal amounts of filler for the vase, such as one or two sprigs of ivy or your chosen filler. Fruit or potpourri should only fill the bottom third of the vase, allowing for a break before the actual arrangement. Pebbles or glass beads are common vase fillers, as well.
