Sharing Manzanita Centerpieces with Georgia/Florida Brides

Hi ladies! I'm getting married on Jekyll Island, Georgia on October 31, and we want to have between 10-12 manzanita tree centerpieces at our reception. I was wondering if any other brides out there in Jacksonville, Savannah, or Atlanta with a wedding around the same time is interested in sharing centerpieces. We were thinking about doing hanging votives, some with flowers and some with candles, so that we can leave the branches bare and someone else can have more flexibility to decorate them how they please. But, I am open to suggestions!

Hi! I'm getting married in Atlanta in May, but that doesn't mean I can't share these with you. I'm still deciding whether or not to use bonsai trees (free from my dad) or spare him the trouble and go with manzanitas. If we do manzanitas, I'm thinking about wrapping paper flowers onto the branches, so bare would be best. I'll talk to my dad and post again here! Do you know about how much the branches would run?

Thanks!

I've heard great things about this place and was planning to buy here.

My cousin is a florist and is going to make them for me at a discounted rate if I buy the branches myself. I haven't decided what size to buy yet and whether I want them attached to a base or in a cylindrical vase.

Hi again,

I talked to my dad, and he swears that he doesn't mind me using his bonsai trees, so I think I'm going to go that route. But the manzanita trees are so freaking gorgeous that it's *almost* disappointing.

Good luck finding someone to share with! I'll keep an eye out, and let you know if I hear of anyone else!
