Subject: Branches or Feathers centerpiece
Hi, IS ANYBODY HAVEING BRANCHES OR FEATHERS FOR CENTERPIECE

I am getting in july/august 2010 still haven't decided on a date. Deciding on the colours and centerpiece has been a nightmare. I think i am having magenta and purple. I love having branches with some hanging crystals for my centerpiece but it has proven hard to get branches online at least might find it easier if i check at garden centers or something. Anybody has any ideas where i can big strong branches. At the same time i am loving ostrich feathers which again not easy or cheap to find the vases are even more expensive. How is everybody getting on with their centerpiece or reception decor. :\?

I think at this stage I would be more worried about booking a venue/date.

I have to agree that you should think about venues first. Things get booked so early these days.
However...
as for the centrepieces...
You can hire vases full of ostrich feathers. I was quoted about £25 for them, but have since decided on something else.
As for branches... have you tried ikea? They ususally have quite a bit in the 'twig in a pot' range. Maybe they would have something more branchlike.

I have to agree with everyone else, I'd look for a venue first. Once you have your venue then your ideas flow from that. You may end up in a castle and want big extrabagnt centrepieces or you may end up in a barn and find you want something totally different.
Besides, some venues are strict on what you can and cannot have. I am not allowed rose petals as they stain the marble floor - so best to see what your venue is and go from there.

Also, just a note re: feathers. I have a fair few friends allergic to feathers so if they are real just be aware that some guests could be allergic to them.

Mnn definately get your venue & date sorted.

Next and lots of garden centers have nice sparkly twigs in around CHristmas time, so it might be worth waiting until then

  • Who are you having as your witnesses and readers?
    We're a bit stumped - did you ask just family members to take part, or friends too? Also, did anyone have both sets of mums as their witnesses?

  • Personalised clothing for groom
    I am going to get a hoodie with my married name and the date of our wedding to wear the day after we get married. My H2B wants one too but is not sure what to put on his.
