Make an immediate impression on your guests by grouping identical items in a relatively small space. Here, the illusion of volume created by the multiples has even more impact than one giant centerpiece would. Because the composition of the vases is so simple, this look never appears messy or overwhelming.

What we did here: Place a series of matching dense arrangements at the reception's welcome table, interspersed with stand-alone vessels. Carnations are a perfect flower for this approach because they are robust enough to be packed tightly together without fear of the petals getting bruised or falling off.
