My daughter had a garden wedding and had 2 urns, 1 on each side of the pergolia(sp). The urns were planted in flowering plants. Stuck in the middle of the urns were tree trunks of crepe myrtle about 2-3 inches in diameter. Attached to the top of this trunk was a basket planted in cascading ferns and flowers. The floral designer arranged seasonal flowers in the basket also. They were breath taking and just enough without overwhelming the wedding party. I know this is not a topiary but similar. These urns were large enough for a grown person to sit in so they were quite large. They were also the only floral designs used in the wedding, no candles, mid-afternoon wedding. I have seen boxwoods in planters used to mark the isle as well which would not have to be planted now. In a Martha Stewart book they showed the boxwoods covered in tulle, that was really pretty. As for the tables, why not small baskets of potted plants, if a night wedding you could put a hurricane lamp in the center with a candle. Just food for thought. By the way, the florist had salvaged these crepe myrtles from a re-landscaping job in his neigborhood, wouldnt wnat anyone to think I would just go out and cut those beautiful trees down on purpose!!!!:):):):)

Thanks, I think you just gave me a great idea!! I will run it by the bride to be and see what she thinks. Thank you

If you send me an email with your mailing address I will send you a copy of my newsletter article on building a three globe standard from aviary wire.

Hi,

How about a couple topiary bells too, i.e. wedding bells? Just a thought.
Bye for now.
