When it came to guest books we fancied something different, something which would make for a pretty display. After trawling through the internet for ideas we found the wishing tree.

So we decided to find an alternative (but if you’re interested in Manzanita branches one of our friends tells us they bought some from the New Covent Garden flower market for £50)
