Pro Tips for Flawless Flower Arrangements

To finish your dinner party table arrangements, Katherine Daught Jacob, owner and creative director of KD&J Botanicaย in Westport, CT, says to look close to home. โ€œBy using elements from your yard and your surroundings, the arrangements have more of a sense of place,โ€ says Jacob. Still unsure of your floral skills? Choose fresh flowers in a single color palette and add plenty of candles: โ€œUsing lots of candles of different heights and sizes adds beautiful illumination that you canโ€™t achieve with overhead lighting.โ€
