New: White Sparkle Birch Branches


We've just added White Sparkle Birch Branches, which like our Brushy Birch Branches, can be opened for an airier look. Shown is a single bundle of five branches that has been opened, displayed in a low white cube with white river stones over floral foam.

what are some things that I can hang on these branches?

Hi Anonymous! These branches would be great for hanging cards, flowers, or other light items, but not heavier things like votives (for heavier items use Manzanita, Mitsumata or Corkscrew Willow).

I plan to use the white birch branches for my wedding centerpieces. They be will placed in a 12" circular vase filled with crystals and mini accent lights. We are hanging lightweight crystal from the branches and surrounded by tealight candles.

Hi! The White Sparkle Birch should look fantastic with the lights and the crystals! You should probably order a sample bundle or two first just to make sure that the branches will be sturdy enough to support the crystals. If they can't, don't worry - they still should provide a great sparkly look.

I am considering using the white birch branches for my wedding reception. Do the sparkles fall off easily? I am not allowed to use glitter at my venue and would hate to purchase them and not be able to use them.

If glitter is a no-no at your venue, I'm afraid these branches will be too. When we're done with our usual measuring and trimming routine with these branches we end up sparkling as well. You may want to consider the Iced Birch as an alternative if you are going for a wintery look.

I would like to use these for decorations in the church for our wedding. Would they be to short to appear as trees for decorations, or what you suggest we put them in to appear that way?

Justin said...

The branches wouldn't necessarily be too short to pass as trees - the issue is more the form - trees have branches coming from a central trunk whereas these would look more like a bush. If you want something really "tree-like" you might want to consider what we did here - http://nettletonhollow.blogspot.com/2008/01/birch-trees-vs-birch-trees.html . Also, we should have Paper Birch Trees (and Forks) available again in a few days.
