Set out the objects guests will use

Place the actual glassware, service plate and any table number on the tabletop. Approach it from several directions and imagine more than one guest arriving together. Add the decorative piece after this trial. Measure the complete arrangement, including outward-reaching flowers, rather than treating the vase base as the full footprint.

Choose one clear focal point

A narrow vase and a single glass candle holder offer different ways to mark the centre of a small table. Compare them separately before combining them. Karanfillik and the single glass candle holder are catalogue examples to explore, rather than a promise that either will fit every tabletop. Confirm current dimensions and the exact items included.

Rehearse standing movement

Walk up, put down a plate, collect a glass and step away. Check whether clothing or a bag brushes the arrangement. Include the table’s stability and any moving linen in the trial. At an entrance or circulation point, leave the venue’s required route clear and keep protruding decoration out of it.

Turn the trial into a buying brief

Record model, size and quantity beside a photograph of the approved layout. UK buyers sourcing from Glassy in İzmir should also provide the delivery destination and event date so availability and shipment terms can be confirmed. Keep the empty space visible in the reference image; the setup team needs to reproduce that as well as the objects.

Final check

  • Can drinks and plates be placed without moving the decoration?
  • Does the full floral arrangement remain inside its intended area?
  • Does the quotation identify the same model and size as the trial?
