    My tree arrived today- I managed to resist ripping the box open at work!

    At first thought I wondered what on earth I'd bought- H2B was of a similar mind! It's grown on me! It comes all wrapped up and you have to arrange the branches yourself at whatever artistic angle you fancy. Base is a bit 'rustic', but nothing a few flower petals scattered around won't hide.

    Still has the £45 price tag on that you'd have paid if you searched 'wedding tree'... afraid there's no way I'd have paid that amount! It's a quirky little piece- actually sat next to me now as we've had a play around putting cards and cutout apple on. :)

    My tree arrived yesterday - only ordered it on Tuesday!! Havent got it out of the box yet, although I did have a peak to see what its like. Going to have fun making the tags for it for people to write their messages on!

    Thanks for that poem, picklepickle, I have copied it and will put in a frame next to the tree! Hopefully, we will get nice messages and not 'funny' ones!!

    Thanks to the OP, I really wanted one of these, but would never have paid £45 for it!!

    Just ordered one - fantastic - I was going to try and make one with some branches etc but this is much better!
  • Glad other people have managed to get one too!

    Mine arrived yesterday but didn't have time to open it until today. Am quite pleased : ) no way would have paid £45 for it but is pretty good for £17.50. Really wanted to arrange all the branches but figured I'd never get it back in the box! Will have to be patient and wait until near the time...just 46 weeks to go!:)

    I bought one of those, I spray painted it brown and then gold over that. It looked a bit odd just white. the leaves were going to be green and pink but unfortunately it was never used at the wedding...
