Flowers or trees or feather?
????

I was browsing through some brides page and i found these trees with crystals hanging from them, i loved them! I wanted to use flowers but the kind of centerpeices I wanted were going to be very expensive becuase they are the tall candelabras with flowers at the top. Ive been looking for ideas that are money freindly and this tree idea is gorgeous. But i also saw a different centerpiece that has feathers which also looks really good. Im so undecided and dont know if the tree and feather idea would look good with the colors im going with which is probably gonna be the pool blue and brown.

I am probably the wrong person to even comment on this because I am one of the brides who is doing the crystal tree!!  So, it's hard for me to choose!   But....I think that the feathers are so funky & chic, & I love that look as well.  How do you feel about incorporating all of it since you like them all?  What I mean is to have one as a focal point, like the crystal tree on the place card table, or at a guest book table...somewhere smaller so that it can make it's big impact.  You could even do the crystals in a pool blue.  Then maybe you could incorporate your feather trees as your table centerpieces, or just have it at the head table.  I don't know how you feel about silk flowers, but it may be an option to save some money & have those used for the tall candelabras for each table (instead of the feathers).

For simplicity's sake, you may have to actually see all of it in person first & then weigh out your options, because sometimes that will make all the difference.

Sorry I am partial to the feathers.

You can buy them online at Ostrich.com  I purchased the male 13-17 inch wing feathers (100) for $398.05 USD

I am using them in florals for the ceremony, reception and all the bridesmaids flowers.  I also purchased 1,000 Wedding Confetti feathers ($176.45) USD. which will be sprinkled all over the chocloate linens. Total $574.50.

I would think the crystal tree would be more expensive idea.  Checkout the website they have great stuff.

Happy shopping :)

I love the crystal tree but I agree with Sonya the feathers are so chic!

The feather centerpieces would go incredibly good with your colors especially with the lighting on the bottom of your centerpices your colors from the linens will bounce off the centerpieces
