is anyone making thier own centerpieces? i'm having a winter wedding and instead of flowers i was thinking of decorating a hurricane candle holder with snowflakes and maybe wrapping the base with fake white tre branches.. it's a work in progress. any ideas?

Re: centerpieces
Unfortunately I do not have pics but I saw this FANTASTIC idea that I would use if I had had a winter wedding. It was with manzanita branches-they look like mini-trees- that were sprayed with coats of gold paint (i would use white and/or silver for a winter wedding) so that some of the wood showed through so it looks like it snowed on them. You can either put a bunch into clear glass or frosted vases and then hang strings of crytsals from them or glue white silk roses (or real if you're brave!) to the branches. If you use a single one and glue rose heads to it, you fasten it into a brass fixture. Its ina wedding book called 'The Perfect Wedding details.' They also had a GREAT ornament idea.; using clear acryllic ornaments and stringing them on long ribbons near a window so they catch light and look almost like they are made of ice.
I got them from the NYPL. Def check it out.
This is not what I wa stalking about but its an idea-this of course is VERY expensive but you could make something similar on a smaller scale.
