Our homemade CP with Pics!!! *fixed!*

Original post by Lten10

The 5 orchid branches are from Pier 1

I made the little hanging tealights with assorted glasses from Michaels.

And seriously, that's pretty much it! This trial has 4 tealights but we're going to do 5.

What do you think?

Ps, they're 4.5 feet tall, you just cant really tell that.

Anyone know where I can get large glass vases for cheap?

thank you!

it was SO! easy and saves us $90 from what we were quoted by the florist for the branches CPs..........

Plus we bought floral center candles so it smells like a garden.






I love them, they came out really pretty! Thank you for posting, I've been looking for branches like those...I'll have to check out Pier 1.

Just one comment, though, I love the idea of the scented candles, but do you know if any of your guests have allergies? I'm not allergic to the flowers themselves, but I'm allergic to most floral scented candles and perfumes (that's what made me think of it when I read it). Also, if you do use them and an allergic guest needs to blow them out, will that bother you? Just a couple of things to think about. Great job, though!!

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Yes I 'made' them. . . . AKA, I put 5 branches into a vase and added tealights.

LOL, ladies this is so easy you really need to consider doing this instead of CPs.

I can't stress enough how SIMPLE this was. If you're interested in branches CPs, you should check this out before handing over $170 to a florist. Just a thought!

FM for more info.
