Table centerpieces are an indispensable part of any party or wedding decoration. It is the centerpiece which makes any theme come alive. Floral centerpieces are usual choice for people. But, there are better choices of non-floral centerpieces available. The best thing about non-floral centerpieces is that they can be made in advance and can be taken apart after the event and reused in future.
Feather centerpieces are the most popular choice of non-floral centerpieces.  You can buy ostrich feather centerpieces at wholesale rates if you are buying in bulk. But, it is quite easy and a fun indeed to create these centerpieces on own with ostrich feathers and Eiffel tower vases. Feathers are available in all possible colors to execute the color theme of your choice. If you are not able to find the shade of feathers that you want, you can dye them to tailor the party decoration to perfection. Eiffel tower vases let the guests to easily have their dinner table conversation without getting hindered.  You can create your desired theme of decoration with the ostrich feather centerpieces.
 
How to select right Feathers
Feathers vary in price with their length and grade. Not all feathers are worth paying the high price. Right selection of feathers is therefore important to create good looking feathers in your budget. It is best to use good quality, bleached, white ostrich drabs of length greater than 15 inches. But, this can cost you a lot if you are making centerpieces in great numbers. To cut your costs and at the same time make good centerpieces, you can mix some lower grade feathers and create a fuller arrangement to hide them. It is a safe play to have an arrangement with same color feathers. But, if you have a creative edge you can execute a great color combination for your arrangement.
  
Where to buy ostrich feathers and vases
 
To make a single centerpiece you need around thirty ostrich drabs of length of about 12-15”. It is better to use longer feathers to create even more luxurious centerpieces. More the number of feathers fuller and better the arrangement would look. A 50 feather centerpiece for example looks extraordinary but, a 30 feathers centerpiece is standard. You can easily get the ostrich feathers of your choice online from a feather store. Buying from a wholesaler is better as your will get feathers at lower rates.
 
After feathers second most important thing for the centerpiece is vase. You can buy Eiffel tower vases clear or frosted, depending upon your choice. Again, since you need these vases in large numbers you should buy them from a wholesaler. If you are using clear vases, you can fill them with colored sand to give an awesome look. Otherwise also filling sand gives stability to the vase.
 
If you are not using sand, you can alternatively use LED lights to light up the vase or else you can blow a few candles around the vase to give a magical look. You can either shop online for these miscellaneous things or look for a good dealer locally.
