Cotoneaster Garland

This Cotoneaster Garland is filled with fragrance and texture and will dry beautifully. It'll likely be too heavy to hang, but drapes attractively along the length of a table. This would be a beautiful centerpiece for a fall wedding or a Thanksgiving table, and would look even more radiant surrounded by gold pillar candles. You can find this pattern, as well as many more beautiful designs, in "The Wreath Recipe Book: Year Round Wreaths, Swags, and Other Decorations to Make with Seasonal Branches."
