Mirrors
What are Table centre mirrors?
Table centre mirrors are most commonly shaped either circular or rectangular but may in actual fact be any shape at all, they are also most commonly found as mirrors, but can indeed be other materials too.
Ever since flowers and other decorative pieces have been placed on tables for adornment, further enhancements have followed and it was only a matter of time before mirrors were used for both decorative and practical purposes.
Why use table centre mirrors...
From a decorative perspective, mirrors help to enhance the display, usually floral, by allowing the observer to see the display from all angles, both highlighting and accentuating colours and shape of the display, the shape of the mirrors to, can add to the display, especially in the case of Acrylic centrepiece mirrors, when these can be cut in any desired shape or pattern, the shape of a wedding couples initials, for example.
On the practical side, the mirrors can simply act as a barrier between a dripping vase and an expensive tablecloth or the varnish on a beautiful highly polish table.
Where are the used
Many table centres are used at celebratory occasions, such as weddings and anniversary meals, when the table decorations add to the sense of occasion and when a beautifully adorned table can certainly add to the atmosphere of the festivities.
However, many are also found adorning table tops or side cabinets in home or hotel lobbies and rooms, the choice really is yours.
