There are two kinds of people in this world: those with green thumbs... and the other kind. For the latter, whom I lovingly refer to as Cactus Killers, one dreaded word can strike fear into their hearts:
CENTERPIECES.
Strangely, this same word inspires giddy delight in professional florists and Pinterest addicts alike. Whether you're from team Green Thumbs or team... CK, hopefully you can appreciate these centerpiece ideas in a Palm Beach palette of pink and green, a la Lilly Pulitzer.
Speaking of Lilly, I love how her whimsy and practicality led this Palm Beach design legend to invent the very first Lilly shift dress. (If you don't know the history of Lilly P. and her orange juice stand, you can read about it here!)
You can interchange the below arrangements with other flower and filler variations, but... well, you know. 😉

CENTERPIECE #1
PINK GERBERA DAISIES WITH LIME FILLER
PINK GERBERA DAISIES WITH LIME FILLER
Single Gerbera Daisies would work well in bud vases. If you do the lime filler, a cute additional "pop" of color would be added by filling another single vase with whole, uncut limes.
(Don't worry, Lilly! We'll wear one of your dresses for this one.)

The above is just a thought, with the integrated candy buffet / flower centerpiece idea.
You could do one large mum bouquet and one small one. Or, if you have a variety of vases you could try grouping similar-shaped containers together (square vases one one table, cylinder on another, etc.). These ideas could easily be used to create a candy buffet, or to simply add color to dining tables.
You know your mom has a candy jar like this one.

I am fascinated by the idea of a candy bouquet of lollipops nestled in a pink sugar base...
