Earthy display of euphorbia, Sahara roses, scabiosa pods, & amaranthus.

Tall centerpiece composed of birch branches surrounded by euphorbia, Sahara roses, & stemmed artichokes.

I was given a theme of red, black, & silver for the guest table setup. I chose to do a vase of red dogwood branches. I attached crystals & red roses to the branches. The top of the vase was lined with black feathers. I wrapped black wire around outside of vase & attached red roses in sort of a "climbing" fashion. Definitely using the opportunity to be creative!

This centerpiece centered around a really cool, preserved curly willow branch I found. The branch has been dyed a deep, coffee brown & is very sturdy. You could hang many things from the branches...in this case I hung cymbidium orchids. The branches sat in a base of green spider mums. This was my first attempt at doing anything with these branches. I thought it turned out pretty cool!
