Fresh vs. Ready-Made: Choosing Your Floral Style
- Florals provide fragrance, softness, and natural variation. They’re best for dinner parties, short events, and when organic elegance matters.
- Faux floral centerpieces offer longevity, stability, and a predictable style. In addition to dining tables, they can elevate coffee tables and entryways throughout the year.
Kim Seybert creates ready-made florals balancing proportion, silhouette, and textures so it feels like living floral art. Her philosophy is simple: a centerpiece should stay picture-perfect, complement every season, and bring lasting beauty to the table.
Centerpiece Design Rules by Table Shape and Size
Different table shapes require different styling approaches. These designer-approved guidelines help every centerpiece complement the space.
Best Centerpieces for Round Tables
Round tables work best with centerpieces that look symmetrical from every angle. Another standby rule is the centerpiece should take up no more than one-third of the table’s width.
For a classic approach, place a large, wide vase at the center of the table. Or, balance a cluster of bud vases for a modern look.
Centerpiece Ideas for Rectangular Tables
Rectangular tables benefit from subtle rhythm and repetition. Try out these ideas:
- Use a row of smaller centerpieces spaced evenly down the center
- Aim for one piece every three feet
- Add runners, garlands, or candleholders to ground the composition
How Many Centerpieces for 6-Foot and 8-Foot Tables?
The goal is to style the full length of the table without empty gaps or overcrowding. In general, use about 1 centerpiece for every 2 feet of table length.
- For a 6-foot table: set 2-3 medium centerpieces or one long centerpiece
- For 8-foot tables: style 3-4 centerpieces or one extra-long arrangement
How Tall Can Holiday and Wedding Centerpieces Be?
Since some height adds drama perfect for special occasions, the universal guideline is to either choose centerpieces under 14 inches or over 24 inches. Anything in between that range blocks views during toasts, speeches and photos.
Creative Christmas Dinner Centerpieces
When December arrives, the Xmas Cheer Floral Bouquet brings that unmistakable holiday magic. This handcrafted centerpiece blends bright red poinsettias, berries, fresh evergreens, and warm gold accents swirled into a glass vase.

Notes for the Xmas Cheer Centerpiece
- Use both sizes together to create a chic, tiered arrangement
- Pair with green glass candleholders to echo Christmas tree tones
- Tuck loose pine or cedar at the base for a more lavish Christmas Eve look

Lean into winter’s dreamy elegance with the Gilded Spray Floral Bouquet’s flurry of white florals, pearls, and softly shimmering leaves. The effect is a quiet, glowing winter landscape, perfect for wedding tables, glamorous celebrations, and even modern, minimalist homes.
Gilded Spray Design Ideas & Inspiration

- For large holiday or wedding tables, place one bouquet at each end to frame the setting
- Layer a beaded runner and metallic-trimmed votives to amplify the shimmer
- Frosted or smoked glassware adds an understated, luxe finish
Autumn & Thanksgiving Table Centerpieces
Autumn tables are all about cozy textures and rich seasonal hues. The Harvest Floral Bouquet blends amber, rust, and warm fall foliage neutrals into a lush, long-lasting display reminiscent of an elegant Thanksgiving cornucopia.
Harvest Floral Bouquet Tablescape Tips
- Use alternating groups of each bouquet size spaced evenly across a rectangular table
- Add coordinating colored glass candleholders between each cluster for a warm, layered glow
- Pair with amber glassware to reflect candlelight and echo fall foliage
- Incorporate artistic linens like the Malta Tablecloth for added texture
For a refined rustic look on dining tables, kitchen islands, or buffets, display the bouquet on a lacquered wooden tray.

Ready-made decor centerpieces deliver that elegance time and again. Whether you favor winter whites, autumn richness, or fresh modern greenery, these designer principles will help your tablescape take center stage.
Key Takeaways for Styling Table Centerpieces
- Choose your centerpiece based on the table shape. Round tables shine with symmetrical arrangements, while rectangular tables thrive with soft repetition that complements their linear form.
- Keep proportions in mind. Keep dining under 14 inches to preserve sightlines. For entryways or weddings, go over 24 inches so height feels luxuriously dramatic without obstructing views.
- Match the style to the moment. Christmas calls for berries and evergreens. Fall glows with amber and rust. Greenery-based designs offer year-round calm, modern elegance.
- Start with the centerpiece and build outward. Let its florals, greenery, and vessel guide your linens, dinnerware, glassware, and candlelight. A cohesive palette begins with one strong focal point.
- Ready-made botanical centerpieces offer lasting beauty. Fashionable faux florals look flawless through holidays, dinner parties, and everyday dining with no maintenance required.
The best centerpieces pair beautifully with luxury placemats, cloth napkins, napkin rings, and artisanal table decor. With Kim Seybert’s curated collection, there is always room for one more fashionable detail to create tablescapes that reflect many moods, seasons, and stories.
