To demonstrate, florist Robert Upwall fashions three bouquets in a fresh fall palette, hand-tied with tea leaves and decorative botanicals. Locally-grown blooms—in pops of bright turquoise with earthy autumn tones—that are sure to spark conversation. Styled together, they form a cohesive centerpiece. Then, after the final course, they can be divided and gifted to guests as memorable takeaways of the evening.
Pro Tip: “Incorporate herbs and seasonal produce into your florals for an amazing fragrance that complements your dining experience.”
