Bridal Hair

This is what I'm thinking...

My Wishing Tree

This weekend has been incredibly productive. I've finalized all of the schedules for the wedding, secured altar decorations (thanks to my mom and sister), put together all of the invitations, and I completed my wishing tree.

It didn't take a very long time to prune my manzanitas, then I coated them twice with matte gold spray, I secured them into the vase with the moss and natural stones, and I used my mom's old chandelier crystals to accent it. Thank goodness she kept them! It just adds a sense of "chic."

I can't wait to see what this looks like once people start hanging their well wishes on it at the wedding! I still haven't decided on the wishing tags, and everyone likes them both... but I think I may be leaning towards the tag with the one big "S".

What do you think of my tree!?

Wishing Tree

When I first began researching wedding stuff I came across the idea of a wishing tree. I immediately decided that instead of a guest book I wanted a wishing tree. It's different and there are so many possibilities to display it after the wedding! Below are a couple of examples of wishing trees.


Now, I don't know how my wishing tree will turn out exactly, but I think I have found a design for the tags. It took some work, but I like what I created- thoughts?


The point of the wishing tree is for your guests to leave well wishes- what they would traditionally do in a guest book. The plan is for guests to leave their well wishes on the back of the tags. I thought it was a cute idea!
