Creative non-floral centerpiece at a “Night at the Museum” auction fundraiser
"A Night at the Museum" benefit auction theme featured a different museum (as a centerpiece) at each table. On this table, the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum was in the limelight.
Many of the benefit auctions I work use a floral centerpiece on the table. I certainly enjoy the freshness they bring to a table, but I’ve also seen some creative non-floral centerpieces at my auction fundraisers.
Most often an organization will opt for a non-floral centerpiece due to cost. As attractive as they are, flowers can be expensive. Flowers are a “nice to have,” not a “need to have,” so they can be quickly cut from a budget. But you still want to have an attractive table arrangement.
Many non-floral centerpieces can also be made or assembled by kids (although these weren’t). This is useful if you are running a school auction or a non-profit which benefits children.
This photo is from a “Night at the Museum” benefit auction. Each table had a creative centerpiece showcasing a different museum around the United States. In this shot, the National Baseball Hall of Fame museum is featured.
