Here are my beloved “dead things” that I’d like to have at the wedding because I can’t imagine spending $2000+ on flowers that will die within a week’s time, and that I couldn’t even bring home across the border! I seriously walk into florist shops and exclaim, “dead things!” with great glee, to the dismay and embarassment of my BM’s. I could even reuse a lot of these pieces in the home. I adore the bell cups. So here they are - images from Nettleton Hollow, that is by no means a new topic to weddingbee.

Wow! I’ve been searching Pier1 and World Markets websites but the selection here is amazing. This is really going to help me DIY my centerpieces beforehand. Very helpful thanks!
Ooo, the cinnamon sticks would smell awesome. 
me too! I bought all my branches and birch trees from there!
Ahhhhh this is exactly what I want to do for my “tall” centerpieces!!! I cannot WAIT to see what other “dead” inspiration you have for all of us!!
I love the idea and certainly agree about spending money on flowers that will fade quickly. If you do want some flowers, which are a good chance to bring natural color in to your wedding, you should consider potted plants. At our wedding we used potted orchids for each table. The result was stunning and the plants continue to live (if you know how to care for them!), after the wedding.

About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.
