Cotton, ribbon, wire or twine
A selection of faux florals
Lanterns
Faux tealights
Peg board or signage
Confetti balloons and garlands

Firstly string your embroidery hoops to varying heights threading wire, ribbon, cotton or twine through the metal fastening at the top of the hoop.
The apple tree we used already had nails in place from previous bird feeders, however there was also many smaller branches plus the natural bark of the tree which provided a great surface to hang from. Please do ask your venue before using any nails.

Add the hoops to the tree and then also add in a selection of glass holders for tealights and florals again strung at various heights. We used Hanging Glass Tea Light Holders and Hanging Glass Bubble Tea Light Holders which would also make great vessels for small floral stems across your venue, on your cake table or guest book area.
We filled the holders with a selection of Faux Tealights and a variety of Faux Flowers from Hobbycraft's selection cut down to size to fill the vessels.

Position a sign in place to tell all your guests about the installation. We used a Peg Board which would also make a great dance floor or guest book sign and propped it against a vintage ladder but you could also hang from the tree on a ribbon.

Add Confetti Balloons with Ivy Garlands as a final finishing touch (which always make a fabulous photo opportunity) and watch your guests flock to your family tree!
