Wish trees have become a popular alternative to the traditional guest book. This charming Dutch custom has given rise to all sorts of wish tree and tag designs.
Traditional wish trees consist of a beautiful tree branch placed next to the bride and groom's table at the reception. Guests write their special wish for the happy couple on paper leaves attached to pieces of colorful ribbon, which the bride and groom can then hang on the tree.
For brides looking to use wish trees as a guest book alternative, there are as many wish tree designs as there are wedding styles. Some couples use traditional branches, while others opt for stylized tree forms, painted, glittered, or embellished branches, or even living trees. There are also an array of tag designs available - from elegant to whimsical, and custom made to DIY. Here are a few of my favorite designs...
Wish tree tags for weddings are a new thing on me! Like the idea though, and your selection is educational too! Thanks for sharing.
