The Harlow Stand: Elevating Wedding Table Decor

 

There are many reasons for wanting lofty table décor – it commands the eye while creating an alluring reception atmosphere. From a practical standpoint, a high centerpiece allows for more space below to accommodate the ever-flowing drinks and cuisine. One major trend we saw in our 2019 Real BB Weddings was the harlow stand. Taking the place of a tall vase, the harlow stand is 4-post metal structure used to display flowers. It is available in various heights and colors such as gold, silver, bronze, and black.

Only a month into 2020, we are gearing up for the approaching wedding season and from the looks of it, the harlow stand is here to stay. What makes this décor element so unique is how it creates a show-stopping floral presentation while allowing for an open, airy feel. While simple and modern, it can be used in just about every wedding style and venue type ranging from garden to industrial warehouse to luxury hotel ballroom. Looking for inspiration on how to make your big day extraordinary? We are here to help and have rounded up amazing ideas for using the harlow stand to elevate wedding table décor.

White florals and greenery are a classic choice with our couples year after year. Here, voluminous roses, hydrangea, lisianthus, stock, larkspur, and hellebores pair with cascading ivy to create a scene of natural romance.

 

 

Incorporating hanging decorative elements is a great way to bring a hint of drama to the table. Here, trails of burgundy amaranthus offer striking contrast to the robust arrangement while underscoring the rich jewel tone palette.
