Wishing Trees

Combining utility and elegance, Wishing Trees pose an interesting alternative to traditional guest books and they make a fabulous focal point. They come in myriad colours, shapes and sizes and are based on a Buddhist tradition. According to this tradition, if you write your wish on a piece of paper and tie it to the wishing tree, your wish will come true with the wind carrying your words into the air and away.

You can hire a wishing tree or erect one yourself, however, they require assembling on site and can’t be moved easily once they have been erected. Drape with a string of pearls, crystal beads, attach a few flowers to the branches at random, twine some ribbon around the trunk, or leave bare for a more minimalist look. After the wedding, you can either keep the cards in a keepsake box, or use them to make a scrapbook.
