Preserving Memories through Wedding Tree Centerpieces
Making weddings memorable is a common goal when planning for this occasion. And every year, new and innovative ideas add to the magic of wedding celebrations. A recent addition to making the weddings more unforgettable is the use of trees to replace guest books. These wedding tree centerpieces provide a more interactive and not to mention a more impressive alternative to the traditional guest books.
This Dutch custom has made its way to wedding reception around the country. Instead of the usual guest book, guests are given paper cards – often in the form of leaves. They place their wishes and messages for the newly weds on this paper and hang it on the tree. Wedding tree centerpieces are often placed near the entrance and adorned with decorations that augment the theme of the reception. The couple can collect the messages and wishes of the guests and put it a scrapbook. Other cultures have similar traditions and customs like this. However, it has a more spiritual meaning attached to it. They believe that some trees possess special powers to grant wishes through nature spirits. Regardless of its origins, it seems to be continuously growing in popularity.
Wedding tree centerpieces are meticulously constructed. These decorations are done on site and may take several hours to dress up depending on the intricacy of the design. Crystal garlands and ribbons are often used but some are more creative by using the couple’s pictures to decorate it. Likewise, the paper on which guests write may take several forms but the most famous is of course is in the shape of leaves. Hard cardboard is good enough, but decorative papers are a better option. Even the pen to use can be chosen to make the final output more cohesive.
Trees similar to a jewelry rack is used and dressed to fit the theme of the occasion. That is why it is not surprising that most wish trees use the same tree type as that of display stands for jewelry. The manzanita tree is an evergreen tree/shrub that is versatile and well-suited for this. Using his tree for wedding tree centerpieces is advantageous. This is a great choice since this tree resembles a bonsai tree thus giving it a very attractive appearance. More homes are also using manzanita as part of their decoration. Just place them in a vase, add some decorations and you have a great home decor. Furthermore, the quality and strength of the branches is excellent. It can hold heavy ornaments, which makes it ideal for wedding wish trees. Many jewelry stands are now using the same material because of its strength and durability. In addition, this evergreen tree can be easily painted over or sand blasted but still retains its qualities.
Weddings are great events especially to the couple. It is no wonder that many if not all want to create lasting memories as well as unique experiences. And these wedding tree centerpieces provide an unforgettable occasion for everyone.
