Willow Ball Decorations

Mrs.LLG

Anyone know where you can purchase those willow branch balls that you can put lights in? I'm trying to hunt some down but am not having much luck. I need to get about 20 somewhere in the 9 to 16 inch range. Thanks!

Wow I am so glad you asked about these because I hadn't seen them before and I LOVE them! I love the paper lanterns that I see everywhere, but I'm doing this sort of rustic/vintage/eclectic thing and I was worried that they wouldn't go- but these are perfect!I just sent an email to my florist seeing if she has any that we could rent as part of our florals (thought that might be cheaper than buying them, but not sure) so I'll let you know if she has any advice!

Hi! My florist got back to me and she said they would be about $10 each to rent, and they would already be lighted. That seemed a lot cheaper than what I was looking at buying, so if we do the balls we'll probably do that. But I love Grace's vines on the lights idea too- definitely ask her about that if you haven't already seen her pics!HTH!
