How to Create Centerpieces Using an Eiffel Tower Vase
Deciding on one basic element to include in your centerpieces is just the beginning; color, filling and accessories need to be chosen as well. Choosing to create your centerpieces using Eiffel Tower vases allows for many different types of arrangements. Consider cost, time, transporting the centerpieces and the overall look and mood you want to create. The time, location and formality of your wedding also should play a role in the filler and accessories you ultimately choose.

Select the focal point of your centerpiece. Simple, elegant arrangements might include a plume of white ostrich feathers, three large flowers, such as calla lilies, or a floral arrangement with different types of flowers or branches, such as a single cherry-blossom branch.

Fill the vases with a "filler" of your choice, if your vases are clear. Wrap or arrange bear grass in the vase or insert curly twigs. Other options include pebbles, rocks, sea glass, marbles, silk rose petals, water or acrylic water or submerged flowers. You also might use floralytes, battery-operated lights, which illuminate your vase from the base up, creating an elegant and romantic ambiance.

Assemble your centerpiece using the elements you selected. Look at it from all directions, and think of small items that should be placed around the vase to complement the arrangement. Votive candles, silk rose petals, single flower heads or colored glass are different options.

Tips & Warnings
Use a bouquet holder designed for vases for larger floral arrangements to balance the arrangement.
Black or silver vases filled with white or red flowers would work for a formal theme built around those colors. White vases may work for bright spring or summer themes, as well as a white winter theme.
Avoid a heavy bouquet or focal point, which might cause the centerpiece to be top-heavy and unstable.
Mix-and-match various items to create your centerpiece, but avoid using every element you like.
