Candi's Floral Creations

Well, the enchanted forest wedding theme is getting pretty popular, and I have to say, I love it!  I must have been a fairy (probably a floral fairy) in a past life because I am so drawn to this theme and keep thinking of new things to add to it all the time!  Since I have many brides contacting me with this theme, I wanted to come up with a really unique enchanted forest tree that does not look like the ever so played out manzanita trees (although, I still love using them).  My tree is the best, if I do say so myself!  For cost-cutting purposes, I rent these trees out.  They are still a bit pricey, but they are well worth it!  I add things to it all the time. The tree looks great with moss balls, candles, flower heads added to the table around the base of the tree. Along with nestling moss and fresh flowers into the trunk, I hang fantasy flowers and colorful votives from the branches.  You can add butterflies and dragonflies – fantasy or real-looking.  It’s a forest, anything goes!!

Since most brides can not afford to put trees on every table, I have designed 2 shorter enchanted forest themed centerpieces for the other tables.  I think it looks better to have a handful of these impressive  trees scattered throughout the room mixing them with lower styles in the same theme.  Gives you the feel you are in a forest, enchanted, of course!

Enchanted Forest Floating Flower Table Centerpiece / Cocktail Hour Decor

As you can see there are many designs I can come up with to make your enchanted forest theme wedding be very unique!   The last picture can be a very simple guest table centerpiece or we ca use a smaller bowl and have them on your bistro tables for cocktail hour to really carry your theme throughout your entire event.

This faux stone fountain is a nifty addition to your garden wedding or use it as a wishing well and keep all the loot for your honeymoon!  People ask if it really works, well YES, it really works!  It is electric and the water shoots out the top and trickles down the tiers.  Looks fabulous spruced up a bit with garlands and floating flowers or candles in the bottom tier.

These rustic metal plant stands are perfect for an outdoor or garden themed wedding……although I have used them for a very earthy and elegant themed wedding where the colors were brown, green, ivory and champagne!  I use them to frame the ceremony location, on either side of the head table, or at the beginning of your aisle.  They have some weight to them so they can take a very tall and big arrangement without being top heavy.  I use them often at St. Clements Castle at the river side.  The wind just howls through that location and these  have no problem standing since the wind can move through them.

Rustic Metal Plant Stands for Ceremony

These garden wire urns are so versatile, I love them!  You can line the top of the urn with any type of moss and then plop an arrangement in them.  I usually design the arrangement in a nice inexpensive decorative container that fits into the urn so that you can take the arrangement with you at the end of the night, since the urns are coming back with me:)  What is also unique about these urns is that they come off of their base!  This way they can be tall for your ceremony and then can be shorter to sit on the floor in front of your head table or can be placed on another accent table at the reception.

We also have very cool boxwood balls that can be placed in the urns for a more sculpted garden feel.
