Cake Stand: A large tree stump or tree slab is a base that brings attention to that beautiful tiered wedding cake.
Station Set-up: Tree stumps in varying heights create a captivating display at your food station at the reception. In fact, large tree slices can be used as charger plates for a sit-down dinner.

Place Card Holders: These guest place cards will not only direct friends and family to their seats but are interesting enough to be a conversation piece. Guests will enjoy their souvenir to take home as well.
Decorative Table Numbers: Fancy stamping or decorative skills on a tree slice can bring table numbers grand appeal for a rustic wedding in Philadelphia.
