Martha Stewart Weddings, Volume 37 2006
Quince branches enclosed in glass cylinders create a sculptural centerpiece that's grand but airy, so conversation can flow. Other flowering branches such as dogwood or forsythia would also do. Cut stems diagonally, and set in an inch of water. Bend thin fresh-cut branches to form napkin rings, and secure with wire; tuck in buds.
wow what a great idea, but instead of having live dogwood branches, I'll use silk flower stems. Or use tiger lily stems instead.
Such an adorable idea! I'm coordinating a wedding on a winery this November. But I have to double check to see if there are any blossoming branches in the fall season to be able to pull this off. Otherwise I may have to create the blooms myself.
I love this! I may have to steal this idea for my wedding...amongst lots of other Martha ideas! :)
