Centerpieces

SwanyGirly911 · February 2010

We are having a very formal reception and I am having green crushed table clothes with brown pillowcase chair covers. It looks very elegant.
I have no idea what kind of centerpieces to do.
Our theme is tree with colors brown and green.
But noooo clue what kind to do to make it still look elegant.

Ideas?

If you're going with the tree theme why not do branches with green beads hanging. here is a link to a similar design. The branches can also be spray painted to match your specific colors.

We did branch CP and I loved them. The CP in this inspiration board is kind of similar to what we did but our CP were low.

I totally agree with the prior posters: You could do tree twigs or branches in brown (natural, or spray painted) and put green crystals hanging on them. You could also get small green orchids and attach them to the branches.

Here's a place for branches (www.save-on-craft.com has them as well), or you could just find branches from people that are pruning in the spring/summer.

Here is a place to buy crystals in different colors (I'm going to get the beaded curtain and cut the crystal strings to the length I want, it's cheaper)

For vases, save on crafts has good prices, so do many other websites.

Good luck.

The branch idea is a great one. Green crystals, clear crystals, or an ivory colored flowering would work.
