Tablescaping

Tablescapes are basically creatively designed table arrangements or centerpieces that showcase or highlight a specific object or collection. In addition to tabletops, items such as bookshelves, coffee tables and mantles can be transformed into a unique tablescape. Tablescaping can also include the strategic placement of tables to create an appealing focal point within a given area, which is a great way to add interest to a room. Tablescapes can also set the mood within a specific place or during a particular event. Tablescaping allows people to express their creative side by adding a personal touch. 

Design

Designing a tablescape will depend on many factors such as what materials you have to work with, what the occasion is, and how much room you have on the table. While designing, strive for harmony within your table, with vases, flowers, table clothes and accessories that pair nicely with each other and the event. Keep in mind what type of event is happening, and what will be taking place at the table. If a meal is being served, ample room for eating is necessary.

Critique

Our design featured smooth, modern and square glass vases. We had simple tall glads to work with and minty eucalyptus, stones and curly willow. By combining these items we mixed earthy with modern and achieved a really cool, unique look. The only part that was not as appealing was all of our group's bud vases together. We all have different design tastes, and so each of us created a slightly different bud vase that did not necessarily have harmony with each other.
