Centre de table Garland Greens

So many centerpieces are built tall, which looks great until you realize you can't see the person across the table. We designed the Garland Greens Centerpiece to solve that, lilies and roses arranged low in a tray so it decorates the table without getting in the way of dinner conversation.

Here's a full rundown of this flower arrangement, tray and all, before it goes in your cart.

What Fills the Tray: Lilies and roses sit close together in a bed of seasonal greens, arranged flat rather than stacked upward. Nothing here needs a vase or a pitcher of water on the side, since the tray itself holds everything in place.

A Traditional Look in Our Floral Arrangements: White lilies and bright red roses make up most of the color here, set against deep green so neither shade fights for attention. Ask for an all-white version at checkout and our designers will build it that way instead, same low tray, just brighter.

Standard, Deluxe, and Premium: Standard fits neatly on a side table or smaller spread; Deluxe and Premium add more lilies and roses for a longer table or a bigger gathering. Because it's built flat rather than tall, even the Premium size stays easy to see over.

A Fit for Any Gathering: Like our other centerpieces, this one earns its keep on a buffet line, a sideboard, or dead center on a dining table. It also travels well as a gift for hosts, since there's no vase for anyone to juggle at the door.

Getting to Your Holiday Table: 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays, is the cutoff. Order by then and this tray can be on the table the same day across most of the country. Miss that window, or live somewhere we don't reach directly, and a partner florist in our network handles it from there.

• Add fresh water to the foam as soon as the flowers arrive, then keep it out of direct sun and away from heating vents.
• Check it every couple of days and top off the water, and the lilies and roses should hold up for about a week.

• Lilies and roses shift with the season just like everything else we grow into these trays.
• When a substitution is needed, our designers pick a comparable bloom and keep the tray's red-and-white look intact.

Does the Garland Greens Centerpiece need its own vase?

No. It's built to sit flat inside its own tray, so there's nothing extra to buy or find room for. That also makes it easier to fit on a table that's already crowded with candles or gifts for loved ones.

Can this go in the center of a table that already has a runner or candles?

Yes, that's really what it's designed for. Because it stays low and flat, it shares space well with candles, place settings, or a table runner instead of competing with them.
