if you were a guest at my wedding what would you think of my wish trees?? opinions please

johnandkymberley, 17 August, 2011 at 12:51 Posted on Planning 0 15

Okay, me and h2b booked these trees agessss ago when i saw them at a wedding fair, the were so stunning we booked and paid there and then! they will be at the top of the ceremony and the ceremony room is the same as the reception room, so they will b in the same place in the room all day, we arent having any crystal drops etc as they are so expensive for what they are. So we had a idea to make them into wish trees for the reception, something different and it makes a "use" out of them instead of just being a decoration. Also we decided against getting a little wish tree will be overlooked as they are so wow factor and we have already paid for these, a little wish tree is more expense that we dont really need

so here are my pics

we are having 2 of these, exactly the same

our tags 80 pink and 80 white

and our poem is

Our Wedding Wish Tree

Please take a tag and make a wish
A memory, a drawing or a quote
Then hang your words on the branches
And watch them flutter and float

When the day is over
We can’t wait to have a look
We will keep the little labels

In our special wedding book

Please don't forget to write your name!

    I love them! Personally I would change to black ink but that's only because I can never read silver ink very well.

    Hi, hmm might source some fancy black gel pens then - thanks for the tip birdboo!?

    Narie, they are from honeysuckle and castle - rented - it is £60 for 1 or £100 for 2!! the price is amazing as they are so beautiful in real life, like i said we booked them there and then! honeysuckle and castle told me They were from morocco, they shipped them back and cost helen - the woman who owns is over £4000 each!!!? so you can imagine the wow factor of them!

    thanks for your replies, i feel better now about them, was a bit worried how the guests would respond to them xx

    I like the tree but not the poem too. I think the poem is a bit twee, but then I'm the sort of person who hates cards with cheesy poems on the front/inside, ditto cards with dancing bears or rabbits holding flowers festooned with glitter, but I got shedloads of them for my wedding so I may be in a minority. Go with whatever makes you happy!

    Well it was the best one i could find! seriously, the others were awful, i was worried though that people wouldnt know what they are for, we are having toiletries on the bathrooms that have poems in and the sweetie buffet has a little poem too, i just think i need one to explain to people. I dont like cheese or tat, hate people who leave xmas lights up all year etc but i am sticking with it as i have nothing else! lol
