Recommendation for anyone having a woodland themed wedding.

I added this seller to my favourites a while ago after originally seeing this thread and slices were listed at one time at £29.99 each. Cake stands were a couple of hundred quid. I think originally they may have been cheap, but definitely not any more ☹️

I did also buy some smaller wood slices in auction and wouldn't again to be honest. It was a mixed lot up to 13cm. I got just 2x 13cm slices and the rest was a bag of what looked like little chunks of twig.

The tree surgeon I know was more than happy to help & he's given me some slices already but as I said, some of them are a bit wrecked already. I have the number of another one & will call them tomorrow.

Your wedding sounds wonderful x

He's replied & asked me if I want a brochure. I've asked for a price for the slices so will see what he says.

Just to let everyone know, he's just quoted me £6.50-9.50 for log slices depending on the wood type. Can I ask what you had OP?

He's also given me an excellent price for pine cones & table number holders.

I know he told me but I can't remember! might have been pine? to be honest once treated they will all look the same/similar so I wouldn't go for any of the more expensive woods. He treats them with cooking oil so you can use them as food platters later if you like xx

Surely you can find pine cones for free in many different woods? Does he change them in some way or are they unusual/special? If not I have a new business idea ?

Yeah he said he uses cooking oil cuz treatments mean you can't use them for food. Mine are for centre pieces though so it makes no odds!

He's being very helpful & is charging me just 10p for pieces of branch to be used as table number holders xx

I could but I haven't really got time. I need 300 & 90 of them need to be large & roughly the same size. He's only charging 99p per 50, I'd spend more than that in petrol driving to the woods! He isn't doing anything to them as far as I know apart from sorting them in size.

aww that makes complete sense! 300 is a lot of pine cones.

Oo.. Like them. I could even make some. Maybe.

When I told him I was using the large pine cones to hold place names he sent me a pic of something he can make. I LOVE them!!

Just wanted to let you know that items have started arriving & I'm so happy with them. He's very helpful & I can't recommend him enough! Thanks to the OP for starting this thread!

Here are my log slices in action ?

Aw they look amazing!!! I can't wait to see all my stuff on the day!!

These are amazing would you be willing to say where you got them. I would like to dress the youngest bridesmaid in Fairy attire.

kind regards

Fabulous! We had a hand fasting in a woodland after the register office, everyone stood in a circle and the 'flower fairy girls' ran around sprinkling petals. We then had our hands tied with ivy by a good friend and it was really magical :-)
