Weddings/Centerpieces

Question
I have Eiffel tower vases (also known as maestro vases) for my reception. I would like dendrobium orchids to be the main flower, but I do not know how many each vase will need to look nice. One florist said three will do plus add some bear grass.
What do you think?
Without knowing exactly how big your vases are, it is hard to say. However, as dendrobium orchids are spray flowers, I think you could probably get away with more. If you want the flowers to really stand-out, I would do away with the bear grass entirely and throw in an extra orchid or two.
Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.
Best wishes,
Helen
