In this article, we explore how Twilight Trees can elevate the ambiance of weddings with their seasonal statement trees. From spring’s romance to winter’s wonderland, Twilight Trees can innovatively weave the beauty of each season into unforgettable events. Join us as we uncover four seasonable statement tree ideas that promise to turn wedding celebrations into truly immersive occasions and photographic sensations.
Spring Inspiration
How do you envision incorporating the essence of spring into your statement trees? Are there specific colours, blossoms, or themes that you find particularly inspiring for this season?
Spring as a season is full of potential and cheer, with birdsong and blossoms up and down the country heralding the end of winter and celebrating the arrival of warmer, longer days. And, after the long, dark nights of the winter months, who can fail to feel a sense of rebirth and pure unbounded joy as they walk past fluffy pink cherry tree blossoms or bright yellow daffodils, standing proud and tall.
Capturing this beauty and the sense of celebration that spring provides is incredibly satisfying.Our cherry blossom trees, both pink and white, are always a popular choice; we love the way they create a sense of joy with their extravagant frilly pompom blossoms, as well as a feeling of traditional romance thanks to their delicate yet plentiful petals. These show-stopping trees provide a wonderful backdrop for a traditional English wedding and really bring the wow-factor. Whether you decide to make a statement with a sea of trees at your wedding or prefer a more minimalist look with only a handful dotted around the venue, we can create a truly romantic setting for our bride and grooms as they tie the knot.
Equally high impact and perfect for later spring, are our wisteria and laburnums. For couples wanting something more unusual we love laburnum, with its dense, hanging bunches of golden yellow flowers that bloom from late spring. It is an incredibly impactful plant and provides a fantastic backdrop to any event, drawing the eye and instilling a sense of joy and cheer with its vivid yellow clusters of flowers that hang vertically, covering the tree in glorious blooms. For couples wanting a more traditional and feminine wedding colour palette, our wisterias provide a great alternative with their lilac or white blossoms.
Summer Splendour
For the summer-themed statement trees, could you share your preferences for foliage and lighting that evoke the warmth and vibrancy of summer evenings? Are there specific elements that represent the season for you?
As the days lengthen and the warmth of summer envelops the land, both trees and flowers alike thrive in this season of abundance. At Twilight Trees, we never fail to be impressed by the awe-inspiring transformation of the landscape – from a seemingly bleak and barren land to a verdant tapestry adorned with the lush foliage of trees and the vibrant blooms of flowers. It is a time of growth and renewal, when nature’s bounty is on full display, and the beauty of the English countryside is at its most enchanting.
Centre stage of the English summer is the deciduous tree, which unfurls its fresh, green leaves like emerald jewels, shimmering in the sunlight. So often overlooked in favour of floral blooms, each tree branch, once bare and skeletal, bursts with new life, creating stunning, luscious canopies that provide the backdrop to the English countryside. With this in mind, a simple, yet high impact look for summer events and weddings that we love, which emulates this stunning spectacle, is a mass installation of our green leaf trees. These trees are full of character, with a natural rustic wooden trunk (foraged from local land) and tumbling rich green leaves that fall in a playful and organic way. Installed en masse, these trees can simulate a forest of epic proportions, providing a jaw-dropping verdant backdrop for one of the most magical nights of your life. To replicate the warmth of a summer evening and add an extra sense of enchantment, festoon tea lights, candles* and fairy lights all over the venue – not only will the sparkling golden light contrast beautifully with the green of the leaves, but it will also create a particularly magical atmosphere. To infuse your own style, these trees can easily be personalised with accessories as they provide the perfect blank canvas – two of our favourite looks include decorating the trees with fruit (oranges are our favourite), or placing wildlife, such as birds and butterflies, in the trees to create the feel of an enchanted forest.
*We recommend using our 3D Real Flame™ candles which are made from real wax to give off the impression that they are authentic flames.
Autumn Ambiance
Autumn often brings rich colours and a cosy atmosphere. How do you imagine capturing the essence of autumn in your statement trees? Are there specific foliage colours or lighting effects that resonate with the autumn season?
Autumn in the UK is a time of reflection and transition, a season of fiery beauty and quiet contemplation. Once again, the countryside undergoes an incredible transformation, as the landscape changes from its vibrant tapestry of green to a mosaic of reds, oranges, yellow and browns as trees shed their leaves, and hedgerows burst with berries and fruit, adding splashes of crimson and purple to the autumn palette.
Autumn can be a wonderfully beautiful and atmospheric time to get married, with its warm and rich hues of autumnal leaves as they transition from one season to the next.
Embodying the beauty of autumn, our Gold Trees are entirely unique and undisputedly majestic – providing an incredibly beautiful backdrop for any wedding. With their golden branches and trunks, these trees truly capture the essence of the season and are genuine show-stopping pieces. Whether couples opt to use a single ‘Grande Gold Tree’ as a focal piece or choose to install a mix of all sizes to give the feel of an enchanted golden forest, the scene is set to be nothing but breath-taking, and guests will not fail to feel the magic and romance.
As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, the light changes and golden shafts of sunlight throw long shadows, casting a warm light on all that it touches. To emulate this warm glow, amber tones or warm white lights are ideal, as they can be used to create an ambiance reminiscent of cosy evenings by crackling fires.
Winter Wonderland
Winter can be magical with its frosty landscapes and holiday charm. Could you describe the elements you would like to incorporate to create a winter wonderland ambiance with the statement trees? Are there any specific colours or lighting styles that come to mind for this season?
As the year draws to a close and the days grow ever shorter and the nights ever longer, there is still beauty to be found mid-winter. From the frost that transforms the countryside into a sparkling wonderland, its delicate crystals catching the sunlight like diamonds; the snow that falls gently and quietly, covering everything in a white blanket; or the evening sky set ablaze with hues of pink and gold, there is a gentle magic that exists, reminding us that winter too provides wonder and beauty.
To capture the essence of winter for a seasonal wedding and have maximum impact, lighting is incredibly important. With the sun setting mid-afternoon, creating light and warmth is key to capturing people’s attention and evoking the feel of the festive season. With their sparkling branches, our LED cherry and maple trees create a particularly mesmerising and magical look for weddings. Shining brightly, these trees contrast beautifully against the dark wintery nights and bring a sense of celebration and romance – the perfect backdrop for a winter wedding.
Equally, for those couples wanting a more authentic winter wonderland look, one of our favourite statement trees for a wedding would be our Christmas trees. Emulating nature, these trees really instil a festive feeling, particularly when installed en masse. Whether you choose one that is covered with a light dusting of snow or not, our trees look particularly beautiful when covered in fairy lights – making them stand out from their surroundings and creating a wonderous atmosphere.
