From Cake Table to Centerpieces: Coordinating Event Flowers

Beth’s Flowers shares how to coordinate cake flowers, centerpieces, and décor for weddings, birthdays, and special events to create a stunning, cohesive look.

Why Coordination Matters

Event flowers do more than decorate—they set the mood, tie your theme together, and make every detail feel intentional. From the cake table to the dining tables, well-coordinated florals create a seamless, polished look that guests will remember long after the last slice of cake. At Beth’s Flowers, we specialize in designing cohesive floral plans that bring every element of your event to life.

🎂 Cake Table Flowers: The Showpiece

The cake is often a centerpiece of the celebration, so flowers should highlight its design without overpowering it.

• Wedding cakes: Soft roses, peonies, or orchids to echo the bridal bouquet.

• Birthday cakes: Bright tulips, daisies, or carnations for a playful pop of color.

• Milestone cakes: Elegant lilies or orchids for sophistication.✨ Pro Tip: Use coordinating colors and repeat one or two key blooms from your main arrangements for harmony.

🌸 Reception Centerpieces: Setting the Tone

Centerpieces set the stage for your event’s vibe—whether romantic, bold, rustic, or chic.

• Formal dinners: Structured arrangements with roses, hydrangeas, or calla lilies.

• Casual gatherings: Mason jars with daisies, tulips, or wildflowers.

• Grand celebrations: Tall statement pieces with orchids, lilies, and cascading greenery.

✨ Pro Tip: Keep centerpieces low or tall enough so guests can see each other across the table.

🌿 Tying It All Together

The magic happens when flowers across your event tell the same story:

• Repeat the same color palette on cakes, tables, and accent arrangements.

• Choose a few signature flowers that appear in multiple places.

• Add textural accents like greenery, berries, or pampas grass for consistency.

🌺 Beyond Cake & Tables

Coordinated flowers can extend throughout your event:

• Entryways: Welcome guests with floral arches or urns that echo your theme.

• Buffet tables: Small matching arrangements for cohesion.

• Photo backdrops: Larger floral displays that incorporate the same blooms as the cake and tables.
