    Hey girls we finally figured out our centerpieces. I am so happy and relieved. What do you guys think?

    They are going to be Hurricane vases mixed with Manzanita branches and curly willow branches painted chocolate brown with Dendrobium orchids and hanging votive candles on top of a mirror.

    I like it.


    Can I ask where you got the branches?  Did you order them online or where you able to find them in a store?

    I was going to order them online but I went to the flower Mart in San Francisco and found them there. $2.50 each bundle for the manzanita which is enought to make three arrangements and $4.00 for the curly willow bunches which also has enough to make three and four arrangements:)

    SO CUTE!  I want to make one of these and put it in my house :)

    what is your total cost/centerpiece?  I assume this is a very affordable option!

    Meryod I did run into tons of cherry blossoms. they looked so pretty.Cherry blossoms were my original idea but my wedding is in July so it's not possible.

    Tallbride. I used white dendrobium orchids. The white stuff is a plastic bag lol to hold them up. We plan to put clear stuff in the vases.

    Katielady the total centerpieces price for 14 tables were looking at somewhere around 3-5 hundred.

    Very creative.  Where did you get the hanging votives?

    Those look great!  The only thoughts that I have is to make sure when people are seated at the table that there is nothing blocking conversation across the table, which may be a problem depending on how the hanging votives are placed.

    When do you plan to make your centerpieces and how will you take to your reception area?  i just wanted to get an idea and see how I should plan to DIY and set it up a the reception area.

    very nice! This is exactly what we want to do on half the tables. Although we were thinking of hanging crystals and wiring a few flowers instead of the hanging votives.  Would love to see more pictures!
