These beautiful, birch branches have always reminded me of Winter. Perhaps it's the way they sparkle like snow when the sunlight catches them or it could be the resemblance to the ornaments we hang from our Christmas tree. I just know I want to get some this year to create a centerpiece this holiday season that I know will last well into the new year. The great news for you as a bride-to-be is that they are affordable and make beautiful centerpieces that would be stunning at a Winter wedding. Just look at the images below.

Here on Koyal Wholesale, you can get 60 White Birch Branches for $109.99 and you can add as little as 4 branches to a small centerpiece to give it some height. Have fun experimenting with ways in which you can use them at your  Winter Wonderland Wedding.

    Racheal, I think they are red Orchids like the ones seen here: http://www.fiftyflowers.com/product/Vanda-Orchids-Red-Magic_22.htm

    Is that what you were thinking of, but they look similar to the red Gladiolus flower as well: http://www.fiftyflowers.com/product/Gladiolus-Red-Flower_22.htm

    can i get a close up of the center pieces in the second picture? How were they made. I love them but need some ideas on how to re create them.

    Hi Carmen, the birch branches have small ends and it appears as though they are in large floral tubes that you can find here: http://tinyurl.com/23vwgjr and then just suspended inside the vase. I can not be certain that water tubes is what was used but they do sell 110 ml tubes that are large enough to secure them since they have holes at the top.

    The original photo is from a Winter Wonderland Holiday party that you can here: http://tinyurl.com/6rkvob on weddify.com where it is mentioned that "Centerpieces consisted of glittered branches, icicle garlands, hanging votives and gems. We placed them atop LED light bases and covered those with 'snow'."

    I could be wrong since I was not able to get much information about the centerpieces except for that the candles were battery powered like the ones found on www.save-on-crafts.com So I am 100% sure about the candles but about 50% sure about the tubes because if you zoom on the original photo that you can find here: in that is definitely what they look to be and the branches are just resting at the top.

    I'm sorry I am not able to provide with more information but you can put your own twist on it and it will still look amazing!
