Simple DIY Steps for Gorgeous Wedding Trees

Branches are a fantastically effective way to decorate a venue or have as a table centre.
We were inspired by the picture above to have some fun with spray cans and hanging crystal garlands for a winter wonderland effect.



They can also serve a purpose as well as being a pretty embellishment; why not use branches to hang luggage style tags for guests to write their messages on in place of a guest book? Or a wishing tree is an ideal whimsical task for such a dreamy decoration.



The latest blog from the wonderful Wedding Chicks is dedicated to this very topic; the girls with good taste have looked into how guests can leave you meaningful messages here.

Together with decorativebranches.com they have put these six easy steps together for creating a decoration with branches. Click here to look at their blog for more details and enjoy what may be one of your first DIY projects for 2009!

new for 2009!

Yes! You're still on Something Old, Something New. We've just gotten a little bit of a face lift. The hubs toiled away all day today and yesterday getting the re-designed template uploaded into Blogger. For those of you who work with Blogger, you know that this is not the easiest thing to do. But, after much cursing and coding, it's up! I hope you like it! I'll be back with all new posts on Monday, Happy New Year!!!
