Centrepiece
Centrepiece: A floral or decorative arrangement at the centre of each table.
A centrepiece is the decorative arrangement at the centre of each table — typically florals, candles, or both. The most important seating-chart consideration: keep centrepieces either low (under 12 inches) so guests can see across the table, or high (above 24 inches) so eye-line is clear underneath.
