  I would love to see a picture of your ring and the update of your Mom's! I would love to have my Mother's drop ring with her initials and Dadfy's a the drop from when they we dating. However, there are three girls in my family and I don't feel right asking!

  It sounds gorgeous! I too would love to see pictures of the whole set.  It's wonderful that you are honoring your mother in this way.

  
  

  Hooray for finding supplies! I'm sure it's a relief.

  What did you end up doing for your branches?  I wanted to buy the Manzanita branches or whatever you call them, and FI was like...what?  We have trees all around us, we can just go cut our own branches....in trying to be sensitive to his ideas and him being a part of this planning, I said, okay...and we had a family hike to find branches and it worked out just fine....the kids stripped all the leaves off the branches and they are drying in the back yard now...going to cut them up this weekend and see how it goes.....FI doesn't want to paint them...thinks they will look good "natural".....im not sure I agree with this, but we will see.....its a work in progress!  Just curious tho about where you got them and what you paid...I'm being totally nosey...lol

  </div><div>My FI also mentioned finding our own branches but it just did not get done and I wanted it checked off my list!  He actually found them online at flowerfactory.com.  I got 28" natural birch branches that came in a small bundle.  They were on sale for like $3.35/bundle and I order 10.  I plan on splitting them to fill 20 vases (with baby's breath).  I just looked online and can't find the actual branches I bought.  Go figure.  I'm glad that your branches are working out for you!  If we had found our own in nature we would have stayed with the natural look too.  I think yours will look great!</div><div>
  </div><div>And to PP that asked about a picture of my mom's ring.  I will post that soon! </div>
