Start with the table and the guest sightline

A centrepiece on a round table should not interrupt conversation. Judge the total composition—including arms and flowers—rather than the stem height on its own.

Models around 65–75 cm can create a clear centre on many standard event tables. A 110 cm transparent design adds scale in a larger room, but its base and the available service area still need checking.

Plan room scale and repetition together

A small piece may disappear in a high ballroom, while a tall multi-arm form can overwhelm a narrow venue. A sample table or simple floor plan gives better evidence than a catalogue image alone.

On long tables, a measured rhythm of different heights can work better than one oversized centre. Safe distance between flame, flowers and fabric remains part of the design decision.
