I've been anxiously waiting to do this for one of my weddings! While I haven't found the perfect wedding to try this on, I am constantly looking for places to find the perfect materials to make these. So, I thought I'd share what I've found so far. There are so many options for these trees. You can use them as centerpieces, add lights (or don't) hang crystals, shells, or hang "wish cards" like the one shown below. These are also great for escort cards!
The best place I've found to buy branches is called Nettleton Hollow, and they offer everything from birch to Manzanita, in a variety of shapes, colors, and lengths.

For crystals, check out Cristalier. They offer beautiful crystals in strands, or by the piece, in just about every color you could want! Visit Cristalier to see more pictures of elaborate and beautiful trees, and check out the video from Cristalier that shows you how to make one of these gorgeous trees from scratch! I highly recommend this video---it's a little lengthy, but gives you every tip you could need from finding the perfect branches, adding strength to branches, and how to light them.
