Hawaiian Celebration Theme — Centerpiece

Rich design of red peonies, anthuriums, harakeke and orchids set the upbeat tone of the gath­ering with dis­tinc­tive Hawaiian influ­ence.
This ful­some arrange­ment is taller than typ­ical cen­ter­pieces, because it is placed on a large, low coffee table in the center of the room.
Let the party begin!

Hawaiian Flower Centerpiece

Hawaiian islanders living now in Marin wanted a long and low cen­ter­piece with the flavor of the Islands. Yukiko’s cen­ter­piece design here brings together white peonies, anthuriums, phae­lanopsis and other orchids on a bed of green leaves.
Tropical and Hawaiian flowers are often arranged in tall designs to heighten the drama of their sharp, angular shapes and vibrant colors. This long and low arrange­ment in whites and green expresses a subtle feeling of the Islands.
