Simple and Stunning on a Budget

Try this for your next dinner party or special event: Instead of dressing a long dining table with flower arrangements, create a sense of drama with a rosepetal runner.

This lush petal runner in red (with votive candles down the middle) acts as a centerpiece and coordinates the table with the other dramatic red Murano glass chandeliers around the restaurant.

It’s also less than half the cost of filling the table with flowers.

Using a single bold color works best when adhering to a tight budget — that way you can get the most visual “bang” for your buck.
