When a restaurant goes through a renovation process, the emphasis is usually placed on the furniture, lighting, and layout in order to create a new eating experience. Yet one detail is always seen to add both ambiance and appetite - floral centrepieces. Flowers bring a life to dining spaces that architecture cannot, providing a feast for the guest not only with the palate, but with the eyes and emotions.
Imagine a freshly renovated restaurant with fancy tables, contemporary art and fine cutlery. A simple arrangement of roses, tulips or seasonal wildflowers at each table creates an intimate and warm environment. Beyond the aesthetics, flowers also stimulate the senses, improving ones appetite and moods in a subtle way. Their colours harmonise with the dishes being served - for example, bright sunflowers can go well with a Mediterranean dish and soft lavender arrangements can pair well with French dining experiences.
In upscale dining centrepieces can also be a reflection of a brand’s identity. Exotic orchids are a sign of sophistication, rustic arrangements of herbs and flowers highlight the farm-to-table. For family restaurants, bright, happy flowers bring friendliness so that eating one’s dinner feels more like a celebration, rather than a routine form of dining.
Conclusion / Area of Thought Renovation sets the stage, but flowers direct the performance of dining spaces. They make a meal an experience that keeps their guests around longer and coming back more regularly. For every restaurateur redoing their dining space, this isn’t always the question of what’s on the menu, but what flowers will tell the story of hospitality at every table.
