Dining table decoration
A centerpiece is a decorative arrangement placed at the center of a table, typically for formal dinners or special occasions: a floral centerpiece for the wedding reception.
By extension, a centerpiece is the most important or prominent element of something larger: The tax cut was the centerpiece of his economic plan.
