Introduction: LightedDIY Wedding : Crystal Manazanita (wishing) Wedding Tree
Overview:
We wanted to have a nice wedding with 125-135 guests on a $14,000 max budget, so we had to plan and do most it ourselves. I spent less than 600 total on wedding flowers and centerpieces. This is a recreation of how I made my own manzanita crystal tree
Step 1: Materials Used
Manzanita branches
Basic Craft Materials:Scissors, Tape, Adhesives E600 is what I use, hot glue Wire
Embellishments:Feathers - RIbbon Vases - Check thrift stores, dollar stores or online to save money \
Garland
FLowers Fresh or fake

Optional Lights String and or water submergable
Step 2: Embellish the Manzanita Branches
Add decorations to the manzanita branches such as strings of garland, led string lights, flowers, and more.
Most things can be draped securely over the branches. For items such as the flower heads use hot glue to secure them to branches.
