Hydrangea and Roses Bouquet in Bubble Bowl © Courtesy of Pricegrabber

A romantic table is incomplete without flowers. The most romantic flower of all is the rose. For a romantic feeling, a more traditional bouquet with softer flowers -- think hydrangea, roses, peonies -- works better than a modern arrangement that uses birds of paradise or tall calla lilies. The one pictured here (Compare Prices) comes with roses in a variety of colors and maintains that softer look with its rounded bubble bowl container. The blush roses with white hydrangea are a winning combination when setting a romantic table. This is the type of centerpiece that you could recreate on your own at home with garden flowers and roses.
