Unity Tree

I saw this picture on the oh so fabulous blog, Green Wedding Shoes, and I thought it was brilliant and appropriate for spring/summer weddings. If you are planning on using a unity candle or unity sand etc in your wedding ceremony you might want to consider a unity tree. You and your fiancé would choose a tree sapling and have watering cans at the ready. A member from each family would fill up the watering cans and then when ready you and your fiancé would each water the tree together. I love this idea b/c after your wedding you can plant the tree in your yard and watch it grow over the years and your children can eventually play under it. Also, I think this idea would work for an indoor or outdoor wedding, just choose an appropriate sized tree:) What a lovely idea!
