I'm not engaged yet, so I'm not planning a wedding exactly- but I have thought ALOT about it and I would love to include flowering branches like all of these. They add so much height and make everything around them beautiful. I'm picturing flowering branches with lots of candlelight bouncing off the walls, love it!LindsBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548424318705008557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-18915386630691140222009-03-11T08:36:00.000-04:002009-03-11T08:36:00.000-04:00I totally love the look of flowering branches in a...I totally love the look of flowering branches in a vase, so beautiful. I've got a number of pictures saved on file with flowering branches. But as we are going in to autumn here in Australia, I won't be having any in my own home for another six months! I have heard you can also prolong the life of the flowers if you lightly spray them with hairspray - the flowers don't drop so soon. <BR/>Enjoy spring!Catherine@Simply Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759159516196213165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-47863017855567988642009-03-10T20:48:00.000-04:002009-03-10T20:48:00.000-04:00I think I like branches & greens even more tha...I think I like branches & greens even more than flowers – the tall stalks are so dramatic.<BR/><BR/>–LanaTopsy Turvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753904424265493646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-83627516453353481662009-03-10T19:13:00.000-04:002009-03-10T19:13:00.000-04:00S- haha please don't worry!!!!

I am feeling inspired.<BR/><BR/>But (and please don't take this the wrong way bc it is my first comment on your blog)--I have both olive and fig trees, and that last photo is of very tiny figs. You can tell by the leaves -- olive leaves are small and spiky. <BR/><BR/>Olive branches I'll definitely use in my house bc it is way too much of a chore to cure them to eat them. Figs are one of my favorite fruits, so I'd rather eat them than look at them. They do look pretty though.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420214236235128678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-64200955898258012332009-03-10T18:10:00.000-04:002009-03-10T18:10:00.000-04:00Love love love these branches and these interiors!...Love love love these branches and these interiors! <BR/><BR/>Branches are an awesome way to keep the cost of fresh flowers down.... I have orange trees and olive trees so I ususally have them around all the time... even when the oranges aren't ripe and are still green I just pretend they are lime tree branches :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>The other good thing is that branches can make a taller arrangement, which is one of the things I like best about them.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555899350274664332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-63314345206544201562009-03-10T17:26:00.000-04:002009-03-10T17:26:00.000-04:00Lauren these are lovely photos!

I have 4 bushes outside and when I realized that I could bring them in (I forget in the summer) I got a little cranky that I had 'trimmed' them all so carefully in the fall. I found a few that I had missed (thankfully) so I've been enjoying them, but I'll have to remember not to prune the bushes behind my house quite so carefully this year! Love the maple branch idea, I'll be doing that this year!Maria Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728225086725817125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-6948454683651796622009-03-10T12:49:00.000-04:002009-03-10T12:49:00.000-04:00I adore this post!

We had a beautiful weekend in NY and all the snow melted, which was great. So of course me and Jon ran out to Home Depot to get planting supplies ready. I so do not have a green thumb so I'm not sure how things are going to go, but I'm pretty sure I can't kill a branch so I love this idea! <BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to search for some. I should bring some pruning shears with me on my next dog walk and just borrow some from the neighbors. :)High-Heeled Foot in the doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510460239869884038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-55541726844852748882009-03-10T11:55:00.000-04:002009-03-10T11:55:00.000-04:00I loved all the inspiration.
