When create or design a client’s wedding, most of the time we talk our brides are thinking about flowers, but I absolutely love using curly willow.  More brides seem to be using curly willow, or another branch-type.  It just adds so much texture and is a great addition to your reception centerpieces or wedding ceremony elements.

Since curly willow is a long, leafless branch, no two branches are alike.  It is available year-round, so you will not be limited by the time of year you’re having your wedding.  The curly willow generally comes in a natural brown or black color, but you might be able to find slight color variations, depending on the maturity of the branch.  I’ve also seen our fabulous wedding florists spray paint the branches for brides if the design calls for a shade we can’t get, or a color that just adds more pop.

At Fresh LiME Events, our brides have created some dramatic pieces for their escort card tables.  Take a look at how these brides chose to use the curly willow to line the wedding ceremony aisle or to add drama to the ceremony location.
