    I'm having a winter wedding on a budget which means...... non-floral centerpieces. I love the idea of tons and tons of candles and centerpieces incorporating branches. I'm considering manzanita or curly willow. I feel like google keeps showing me the same things over and over again.... so anyone with pictures of your own branch-y centerpieces or if you have inspiration pics with branches, please share!

    Since manzanita branches can get expensive, has anyone ever used just branches they found?  Or is there a cheaper way to go about getting the branches?

    @aubrav: We used curly willow branches instead (above), they were much more cost effective :)

    Not exactly what I am doing, but this picture has the bamboo/blossom branch look I am interested in achieving.  My centerpieces will be larger with red square vases.

    I'm doing winter wonderland too! I won't have pics of mine till after my wedding, but for my indoor centerpieces, I am doing eiffel vases from save-on-crafts ($4 for a 16 inch vase; trust me, I'm a bargain hunter, you will never find another deal like that.)

    The vase will have a little light at the bottom, and we're filling it with curly willow spray painted white and white carnations. I know you said non-floral, but carnations are super cheap and they look great. You can get 150 at Sams for $70. Here's my inspiration piece. :-) Imagine it with the above vase.

    Sorry - Lots of pics. Here are my inspiration pics. I am going to have bunches of red roses as all of the centerpieces, then the escort table and bar will have big, branchy red holly berries with tons of candles and then the cocktail tables will have white roses with the red berries. Does this make sense?

    I am also using branhes for my centerpieces.  I just have a question - I will be putting flowers around the rim of the vase, but do not know how to hide the flower stems. (i only want the branches to show in the vase). any help or advice, please! thanks ladies :)

    @MsBrooklynA: I really have no idea how many branches per vase. The florist never really mentioned anything about that. Judging from the picture though there were quite a few.

    I guess now that I've decided I should post mine too :) These are just the tall centerpieces. The short ones (I'll post too) don't have branches. We'll have dark blue tablecloths.

    Here were ours. They are spray painted manzanita sunk in plaster with mosaic mirror tiles attached to wire and sunk in plaster. The vases were then wrapped in modern fabric.

    Mine is a little different and does include flowers but I loved that they were low (so people could see over them)
