For any centerpiece, be sure it is appropriately scaled for the size of the table.
There are several items you might put in a centerpiece besides flowers.
Some common filler ideas include branches, fruit, candy (like chocolate kisses), or pinecones.

For rectangular tables, consider spacing out one centerpiece every 3 to 4 feet.
