Wish tree

I saw in a catalog today a wish vase. There were papers you could have your guests write a wish on for you and read it later on. I was thinking of making a tree out of branches so that they could hang the wishes on. Has anyone ever done this or know where I could get the stuff to make it??

Thanks

Re: Wish tree

I would use manzanita branches. They aren't cheap but they are strong enough to hold votives. You can find vendors online via a search engine. If you are getting married in the Spring you can use cherry blossom branches too.

FYI!
www.save-on-crafts.com has the manzanita branches on ridiculous discount.

Thanks... I found that one last night so I printed it out. It looks really intricate. I am not sure how fancy I am going to make mine. The website on this thread had the manzanita branches for a good price.

How much do cherry blossom branches cost? When are they available?
