TROPICALbreeze A leisurely tropical paradise, where mind and soul find relaxation and renewal. A feeling of refreshing energy flows as this design style sends waves of energy to all the guests. Oncidium spray orchids create a graceful horizontal movement, giving the impression of a soft ocean breeze. Perfect for placement down the middle of long banquet tables. Narrow and long containers made of bamboo, woven basket, pottery or glass keep the base of the design nice and slim. The base is kept uncluttered and light, but weighted with use of river rocks, sand, crushed glass or water pearl/ice. Acolyte LEDs
