But just because it\u2019s simple, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t think outside the box. Consider making a statement with something unexpected\u2014like herbs. The beauty of herbs is that, depending on the container, they can lend any feeling you want: elegant country, down-home garden or modern chic.\u201cHerbs show best in mass and are the perfect size for a 4-inch to 5-inch vessel,\u201d says New Jersey florist, Ken Malagiere of Narcissus Florals. \u201cThe best herbs would be those that are aromatic while not overbearing.\u201dIn other words, make sure the herb you choose isn\u2019t competing with the food you plan to serve. \u201cFor example, a bundle of rosemary presented in a glass cylinder would pair much better with duck or other fowl than perhaps lavender,\u201d Malagiere says. Other herbs to consider: German thyme, tarragon, oregano and basil, which comes in greens as well as ruby reds.ELEGANT COUNTRYUse herbs in small silver containers of various sizes, and cluster them for a polished indoor garden effect.\u00a0MODERN CHICFor a modern look, place herbs in sleek white containers\u2014square shapes look best\u2014and place one small one at each place setting, with a collection of the herbs in a larger container in the center of the table.DOWN-HOME GARDENAnother option is to send guests home with their own potted herb. Use terra cotta pots and small labels that explain which herb is which. Arrange the pots on various natural-feeling stands to create a layered display.\u00a0Photo: weddingdish.thinklikeabride.com; elementofelegance.com; 100layercake.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Herbs a Plenty!
