Peter, the owner of Chinoiserie, has a knack for making them look like carefully made sculptures, not just a twig found in the backyard.
1. A branch can be twisted into a minimalist wreath.
2. Here's a branch hung like a mobile.
3. Branches as sculptures for parts of your home that maybe go unadorned.
4. And, of course, branches in a vase like a bouquet.
expecially artistic it the cable behind the first wreath - c-mon guys - is laziness creeping in everywhere?

I like the second example and the idea. I have to say they look quite sparse. Thank you for sharing. :)

I was hoping berries-and-branches had gone the way of country geese.

They just appear weak and dead to me...
...this is what a berry wreath should look like:

Hmmmm. Did you mean to say "artlessly" (as in naive, unsophisticated, crude) instead of "artfully," Lindsey? Because then I might buy it.

These remind me of the wreaths my mom would make from from bittersweet branches in the fall- I assume that's what these are. But they were always outdoors and they weren't so...sparse. I think with the exception of the bouquet these look like an interesting idea, lacking a little something something in execution.
However I have always loved the look that bunches of herbs and berries give hanging down, like the shop of an herbalist, or like early american cottages have- so I don't think this is terrible- just not quite rocking it.
