This sure is pretty, but cranberries are bouyant (that's why cranberry bogs are flooded for harvest) and very light. I'm not exactly sure they would anchor anything that didn't have a sturdy stem. And of course, I have to wait to get home to try this out myself.

Maybe you could hide in the middle of the cranberries one of those styrofoam holders that florists use to solve the buoyancy problem?

If all else fails, use red marbles...

If you totallt fill the vase with the berries and your stems, then add the water, it works out okay.

Another way around the floating issue is to do the vase-within-a-vase trick: The outer clear vase, with any type of vase inside it that is small enough (relative to the outer one) to allow you to fill the space in between with cranberries sans the water. Water (and stems) go in the inside vase, hidden by the "berry wall."

A finishing touch, too, is some sprigs of red hypericum berries mixed in with the white roses, or those red berries on branches sold at most NYC delis this time of year.

love the idea!

Is that the "white roses in a glass cube" arrangement from 1800flowers.com?

I think it is, my wife and I sent one to a relatives wedding we couldn't attend... they loved it. :)

Looks nice.

Beautiful

What a conincidence! I was just headed out to the store today to buy fresh cranberries and flowers to add to a square vase. I really like the look of this!

That's very pretty, but I think I'd rather eat the cranberries! I'd feel hungry every time I looked at the vase...
