    Where did you get your reasonably prices manzanita branches?

    I anticipated buying them on saveoncrafts.com but has anyone done this and realized how much the shipping is?!?  I couldn't believe it--the shopping cart calculated over $100 in shipping charges for 7 branches. What?!

    Where else can I get these? :/

    I got mine at Nettleton Hollow. I paid $145 for 18 18-24" natural manzanita branches, and that included shipping thankfully.

    I also second nettleton hollow.  But if you're in NY you can go straight to the flower district and some of the stores sell it there.  No shipping, but then you have to carry it home.

    I third Nettleton Hollow...we got their 'seconds' which were much more reasonable in price.

    You can see pics of them here: http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/06/20/one-mans-trash/

    Good luck!

    I got mine off ebay.  There are some private sellers that give you really big discounts - like buy one get one free.  But I think the bigger they are the more expensive the shipping.   I got 12 36" branches for $120 including the shipping.  But that's because I bought it while it was buy one get one free.  Don't know if that is still going on.  I thought it was still expensive, but after doing research on it, I think I got a major deal.  The branches were nice too.  I made sakura trees out of the them.

    Michael's has them for $9.99 and if you use a coupon you'll save even more.

    I agree with peanut.  I got mine from the flower district in downtown LA. You get to choose what you want and no need to worry about shipping.

    I saw manzanita branches in a local SF flower shop and NEEDED to have them. They are so naturally beautiful. Searched on etsy for manzanitas and came up with this site: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6671066  Super cute idea to hang small vases filled with orchids!

    I just ordered 14, 36" Manzanita branches from Nature's Design (mtnmanzanita.com). They were they best overall price I've found + you can tell them spicifically what you want. I'm planning my brothers wedding and he wanted them to be wind swept to one side. Most places just give you what they have instock which wouldn't work. I emailed them over at natures design and Todd got back to me, by phone, w/ in minutes. He was so helpful and told me he'd personally go out and find the branches I was explaining to him from there Manzanita farm. He's shipping them out immediately and will take them back if they aren't exactly what I want. Overall there customer service is amazing and their prices especially for shipping cant be beat. Just wanted to give a heads up to all you brides out there searching that dont happen to live in Cali. These guys are GREAT!!!

    Are manzanita branches worth it?  Or could I go with midwest apple tree branches?

    I got mine from bloomsandbranches.com.  They have packages that include shipping. You can get a case of 10 for $123 and that includes the shipping.  I highly recommend them.

    If you live in Northern CA or Northern NV Manzanita actually grows naurally ALL over. I cut my 4 foot branches 10 min from my house and had never realized that is what they were! I had to trim them a bit as they are full at the tops but it was free.

    I am in the NYC area and have 6 5-foot, yes 5 -foot Manzanita trees for sale that I bought in the flower district and used for my wedding.

    I am selling them for $100/tree. I bought them for over $250 a tree with tax so its super cheap. And I attached pro silk orchids with moss and twine to them which still look amazing. You can keep it on or take them off as you choose. I also have hanging votive that I put on and would sell as well.

    @yiska:  I realize this topic is 3 years old but still very important.  Currently, I found great pricing with free shipping from www.manzanitasupplier.com.  They seem to have just about anything.

    I'm getting my branches from Blooms & Branches at bloomsandbranches.com. My friend bought elsewhere and had to send them back. They all had bad shapes. Everyone raves about Blooms & Branches, because they hand pick good quality pieces and the prices are really low. They have a discount code running now, look at the top of the pages, it's there.

    Manzanita branches can get a little pricey depending how you want it decorated. I rent them them as well as sell them and I am based out of San Diego. I used them for my wedding and what I loved about them is that they can be repainted and used for years! I used one for decoration at my ceremony site and then my reception. Currently, I am decorating the same tree for my baby shower! Check me out on craigslist if you would like to rent. Or etsy if you wanted to purchase. It is an investment if you want to buy, but don't make the mistake of letting your guests take them home! Re-use them or sell them after!

    @ptmckiou:  

    Here is a picture of manzanita branches direct from the grower in California called

    www.manzanitasupplier.com .  

    They have free shipping and cut them fresh when you place your order to meet your specific specifications and since cut fresh, the limbs are "green" (not in color) and have no breakage in transit.  Very full branches with free shipping up to 60" tall branches. There are 80 of the 36" branches in this picture all ordered by one bride.  Just this week another bride ordered 60 branches of the 48" tall branches.  www.manzanitasupplier.com can supply one branch or an entire tree custom to your needs from their manzanita ranch high in the sierras of California where the best manzanita is sought after by florists around the world.  Look at that deep red bark.
