You're getting ready to throw a garden party and want to make a statement but aren't sure how. A floating pampas cloud is, without a doubt, going to do just that. It hangs delicately above your table, floating above everyone's heads, giving your guests something to admire, ask about, and inspire for their next garden party. Our floating pampas cloud is full of dried naturals such as different types of wheat, oats, and obviously pampas grass. The pampas grass gives it the cloud-like feel, while the other kinds of wheat and oats give it the color, intricate detail, and full-body effect. This floating cloud keeps in touch with the traditional floral centerpiece, although breaking tradition by moving the arrangement from being on the table to the top story. This specific floating pampas cloud will give your party a bohemian feel. You could switch out some dried naturals to accomplish a different theme, such as using dried lavender instead of oats for a more feminine tea party style.
