Help me find votives for my DREAM CENTERPIECE (pics attached)

Anyone know where I can purchase hanging candle votives to hang on my branches (see pic)? They must have the wire attachments to hang.

I can significantly cut my costs if I can find a place to buy them.

Also, does anyone have any other examples of branch centerpieces (curly willow?)

What do you think of this centerpiece?

How do you think this sought of CP would look on oval tables in the Manor Room at Westbury Manor (it's no too bright in there)

thanks again for ur input

Divabride is using branch/candle CP like that but she's getting them through LA Blossom. You may want to FM her just to find out about price or even what kind of branches are used.

We might be doing these so I researched them insanely & here's what I've found -

The hanging votives used in those pics (at Tribeca Rooftop) are only available from 2 places who sell only to florists. I have the company names somewhere & I'll see if I can track them down. One of them is in the Modern Bride - Receptions.

There are these (pic 1) BUT every florist told me they need to be on VERY strong branches & you can't have a lot (max 5 per table).

One alternative is to do hanging round votive cups by ribbon. John from Flower Michele does this. He said it works well on the brown birch branches (the ones in the pic). The main cost cutter wasn't the supplies but the labor. Apparently they do the flowers ahead of time and have to arrange the branches & candles on site from scratch

Here's a few other pics I didn't know if you had! If you have any questions FM me!

The picture below is what Im using, but I've also posted a pic that I saw on LAblossom's website. Its similar to what your looking for. Maybe you can fm her and ask where you can purchase some.

Thanks SO MUCH for you help.

hehehe it seems like a lot of people liked this cp from tribeca rooftop.

it was the first one i loved soonafter getting engaged.

i met w/ flower michele - they told me about the ribbon which seemed okay, but they have to be a flame retardant and mom wasn't too crazy about them...

I really love this CP...but it's kind of a chance because this is SO different than traditional centerpieces.

With a cp that is mostly flowers, you pretty much know what you're getting...

so i'm confused :(

It's going to look sooooooo beautiful!

Imagine dimming the lights slightly and you'll have candles everywhere - and everyone will be having a candle light dinner!

You probably looked there already, but just in case, did you try e-bay?
