Manzanita Centerpiece Kits!

Here’s a great new concept to make Manzanita centerpieces easier: Check out the new centerpiece kit that includes the branch (36″), orchids, crystals and beads: Manzanita Centerpieces Kit



Paper Mache Containers

If you are making centerpieces or creating a wish tree or seating card tree, creating a sturdy base is the first step. As seen in the “creating a base” tutorial in this blog, you’ll need a paper mache container. These can be a challenge to find, so BloomsAndBranches.com decided to add them to the growing inventory of floral supplies. You can buy them individually, or by the case! They come in green or white. Take a look at this link: Paper Mache Containers for Manzanita Centerpieces.

Enjoy!

These are available at Williams Sonoma for $16.00. You can also buy a complete tree (artificial) but it’s quite expensive, and Manzanita would look much nicer.
