@pnk...I LOVE it and the crystals will take it over the top into fabulous land...lol
Do you mind me asking what kind of branches did you use? I am looking for some.
This looks amazing!!! I love it! I think crystal strands would be really pretty. Save on crafts has them for a great price if you're looking for them :D
WOW so beautiful! Add crystal strands and it'll look like something out of platinum weddings!
Wow that looks great! I love how it's like a pretty white tree... the hydrangeas are like perfectly sized! :) Good work!
WOW! Those are gorgeous!!! I wish I had the time to DIY ours! I'm having sandblasted manzanita branches in urns with green moss..the branches will have orchids attached and crystals hanging from them...
again, those are gorgeous! great job!!!
That is just GORGEOUS! GREAT job!
Please consider posting that in the DIY section with some instructions! 
Re: adding some bling - what if you got crystal garland and sort of intertwined it through the branches and leave only the very ends "hanging". That will give it sparkle and a wee bit of motion, too.
oh my gosh, those are stunning! i was thinking about doing something similar to these but on a smaller scale since we changed our colors but wow you did an amazing job!! Congrats!
Thanks everyone!!!!!!! I'm probably gonna sell them after the wedding 11/28/2010 at cost so.....
I got the branches from www.bloomsandbranches.com I used the sandblasted manzanita
24- 30 inches
If you buy in bulk each branch comes out to 17$ including shipping!
The whole thing is in plaster of paris... I bought that in bulk 9lbs for 9.99$ I used about 2 lbs per pot
The pot came from target garden section 12.99
the glass pebbles came from michaels 2.99
And the hydrengas came out to be like 2.60$ per stem (I used 6 stems)
Oh and...I spray painted the whole thing in white 2.99
so I just showed the centerpiece to my wedding planner and she says I should spray paint it in a cream or light ivory to better match my colors.....so back to the drawing board! LoL I'll post pics when I find the perfect light ivory spray paint
Wow, those are really pretty! Do you have to put them on lazy susans? I think they would look really cute with crystals on them. :)
Question... because I'm a newbee and get confused easily. Why are you putting them on lazy susans?
these are amazing! what color are your tableclothes? you could add some crystals to them and place tea lights underneath to reflect some light. Great job!
@helstrong ... I'm putting them on lazy susans because I'm having a chinese banquet reception....I'm thinking about breaking tradition and forgoing the lazy susans...well see how that works because I'm having a family style dinner
@elliemae My table cloths are gold....and my wedding colors are gold/creme/brown but I'm thinking of down playing the brown
These are beautiful and I think w/the drop crystals, it will bee a work of art!
Do post a diy tutorial on this!
oooh, very elegant! i like the white branch, its definitely a different take on the brown manzanita!
I absolutely love that!! Post pics when you add the crystals.
That looks awesome!! My sister and I are about to start tackling the DIY manzanita trees in the next couple of weeks
I love it! I think some crystals draped from it would add just the right finishing touch. I ordered my crystal garlands from www.save-on-crafts.com and they are awesome. So "blingy" and super affordable. ($10 for a 6-ft. strand, I think?)
