Tree centerpieces?

selie22 · October 2011

I know I'm way ahead of myself here. I'm still a year out and I haven't even solidified a venue yet (going to tour places the weekend after Halloween! I'm so excited - thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, I think every single place I'm going to look at is something you recommended). What can I say? I really like planning things.

SO. I'm a nerd. I've been thinking about decorations. You have to understand that I really, really like fairy tales. In one of my favorites, the characters travel through a forest with trees that first have gold leaves, then have silver leaves, and then have crystal leaves. Ever since I was a little girl, I've thought that was just the most beautiful imagery I had read about. Obviously it's still stuck with me after all these years.

So I thought it might be appropriate to pull inspiration from it!

Apparently wedding centerpiece trees are a thing already! Who knew? I didn't. Although I imagine you all did...

I saw these:

And I thought maybe instead of dangly things, I could somehow affix artificial leaves I've painted, etc., to get the right look.

Can you rent those tree bases or something like it?

Is this what you're looking for? Based on your pic, I think they are similar, but it may not be spot on.

I'm sure most rental vendors in the area would have those kind of vases, you may want to try these:

Hope that helps!

Oh, I was thinking about the trees, not the vases they're in. Sorry for not being clear.

I tried looking online for the trees but I'm not quite sure how to phrase my search or what I'm looking for! I'll keep trying.

I don't know about trees per say. But you can try looking for manzanita branches. Idk that anyone rents them out though.

If you google manzanita branch centerpieces, you'll see lots of great ideas. Some girls have DIY'd the centerpieces with some success, but I don't think it's the easiest DIY project out there.

I know Andy with A Man & A Woman Florists has manzanita tree centerpieces for rent.

I'm sorry! I may have misread what you were looking for. I think those are called Manzanita trees; I believe some girls here have created their own, but I'm not sure about rentals.
