A Wedding Wishing Tree
A wedding wish tree or wishing tree is a brilliant idea to replace the traditional guest book in a fun way.
The basic concept is to decorate a tree in your wedding colours and style and then provide wish tree cards for your guests. Your guests then write anything they like on the cards from best wishes, dreams, or helpful advice for the newly weds.
The wishing tree can be placed as guests enter your reception centre or take centre stage. Your only requirement is to have enough space for guests to easily write their message and attach their wish. Wishing tree cards can be placed with the tree or on the guests tables.
After the event ensure your cards are collected by someone as they are a memento from every person at your wedding and a fantastic addition to any wedding album or scrapbook.

Wedding Wish Tree Styles and Themes
It is easy to match your wishing tree into your wedding day theme.
Simply spray your branch in an appropriate colour and decorate it with flowers or accessories
If you are doing this yourself ensure you do a practice run a few weeks early to ensure you are happy with the wish tree you have created.
Alternatively it is possible to purchase wish trees commercially or arrange to have your florist create it.
A few wish tree styles and ideas

Simply entwine into your branches some fresh flowers and perhaps some green foliage, keep it bright and fresh looking.
Romantic Wedding Wish Tree
