Happy Wednesday everyone! You know what that means, it's time for the second installment of our #WeddingWednesday series where every week we cover a wedding related topic spanning projects, stories, sneak-peaks, and industry tips and tricks.

For today’s entry we wanted to share some of our dry good products. In addition to providing design/build services and all kinds of furnishings and props, we carry a variety of natural products including manzanita, driftwood, and grapevine trees and branches that can be used in floral design projects as well as décor in homes or for events.

Many of the talented floral designers that we work with love using these goods in their wedding installations and its no surprise why. If you’re looking for a budget saving tip, consider manzanita, driftwood or grapevine accessories for your wedding’s floral and décor scheme.

As their "dry goods" name implies, all of our of natural products have a much, much, much longer lifespan than fresh flowers. Although certainly beautiful, blossoms are delicate commodities with a limited and often very short lifecycle and thus a shorter window for use. This narrow use value translates to the often sky high prices of flowers. To offset some of the steep costs of fresh blooms, consider replacing or supplementing some of your floral elements with dry goods such as the trees and branches we offer.

For a large and impactful statement consider a full manzanita tree dressed with crystals, lights, fresh flowers and greenery, or even all of the above. Driftwood makes for both a beautiful and perfectly “on theme” natural element for a beach wedding. Dream of a Napa Valley wedding but don’t have the matching budget? Grapevine table centerpieces are an easy and cost effective way to lend a vineyard vibe to any reception.

The possibilities are endless with the versatility of our natural products! Check out some manazanita, driftwood, and grapevine wedding inspiration below and click over to our Natural Products page for a sample of what we carry.
