Beautiful 2' - 5' Focal Point Centerpiece Trees

Draw attention to a Bride's Table, Champagne Bar, Guest Book Table or Place 3 trees along a stunningly eye catching Buffet Table. Consider using one as a memorable Seating Card Tree to greet your guests upon arrival. Place one crystal tree on either side of an altar, the possibilities are endless. Makes a fabulous home decor tree after the event.

The Tree in the Picture Directly Above Left

shows one of our approximately 5' Manzanita Crystal Trees that we did for a customer. Our customer purchased it painted a dark gold and re-sprayed it a more metallic, yellow gold. It is hung with 24 total ropes of 16mm and 24mm Crystals.

Why 1 Ft. Crystal Ropes Work Better & Saves Money

As you can see in the two pictures above, even on a tall 5' tree picture on left) and on a 4.75' tree (picture on right), there really is no need to use 1 yard or 1 meter long ropes or chains unless you plan to separate them into shorter 1 ft. or 2 ft. ropes, or if you plan to loop each long rope over the branches so it appears to be 2 ropes when hanging down. The branches on a tree are staggered from high to low, this means, yard long ropes or chains would be too long for most branches, especially any mid-way or low branches. If you are not using one foot or two foot ropes, as you can see, a 3 foot (1 yard) rope or even longer, meter long rope would be dragging on the table. The Famous Crystal Tree seen in Bride's magazine (Project #1 on our Stunning Decor Projects Page 1) used 1 meter ropes, draped over the branches to hang down like two ropes and that was a big 6' tree. Using them shorter in the first place allows them to hang neater, by placing them on desired small branches by the attached top hook/pin. Looping over the top looks messier when seeing it up close. Using our 1 foot ropes also stretches your budget by covering more of the tree, but using less footage of crystal.

The Tree in the Picture on the Above Right

is of our Complete Crystal Tree Set. It comes truly complete, including fine artificial or real wood branches (artificial shown), 20 fine Swarovski Lead Free crystal ropes(a 50/50 mix of 16mm' 24mm' each 1 ft. long), a 2' or 3' tall heavy glass tree stand with stabilizing foot and matching color pebbles (adds more weight for excellent stability). Sets in Silver (shown), Gold, Brown Onxy, Jet Black and Custom colors available. Hanging glass votives not included.

As you can see, getting the tree standing securely is simple using only matching, painted pebbles inside the glass stand. The snug fit at the top of the tapered glass tree stand holds them securely. The stand is heavy glass for weight and The wider square glass "foot" finishes it off with even more added stability. Our Swarovski crystal does not need computer generated or moving "sparkle" added to give the illusion of shimmer. It's so good, it just does it's thing. This tree can hold at least 4 or 5 times as much crystal as shown and can hold longer ropes as well. You can quickly link your 1' ft. ropes into 2' or 3' ropes, but we think 1 ft. ropes spreads the crystal out, stretching your budget and looks like more, with less.

We manufacture and sell these Complete Crystal Tree sets (shown above) with real wood branches (gilded gold, silver, black or custom colors), and heavy glass tree stand, complete with the crystal ropes include or without. You can order with 50% less crystal, 50% more crystal, 100% more crystal or 200% more crystal, etc. depending on your taste and budget. Just add to your cart, then choose the amount of crystal and type of branches (artificial as shown or real) and color theme (example: silver branches and pebbles).

Candle Safety & ALL Centerpiece Trees including Metal

METAL trees as well as artificial and real wood trees, candelabra, pillar candles, etc. have ALL been involved in fires at venues so battery candles are ALWAYS safer. As with ANY centerpiece using candles including ANY metal, simulated or real tree, if fire is involved, event planners should consider getting liability waivers. Our trees are safer with regard to falling over since they are not metal. 3' or taller METAL trees can easily fall over if a table-cloth is pulled by a guest or table is rocked, they are a double problem: fire hazard along with the risk of injury from super hard, heavy, sharp metal branches injuring a guest AND dumping candles in their laps. The base or bottom part is the only part of your tree that should be heavy, in order to keep it solidly planted on the table. For any centerpiece, if safety is the number one concern and real flame candles are a must, they are best sat around the centerpieces ON THE TABLE. Otherwise, hang them 9" - 18" or more below branches and there is no way they will damage our trees or branches or real wood trees for that matter (unless it's turned over; the same as with metal trees). The other option is to do what most venues now require: use flickering battery powered (available on our site) amber colored simulated flame candles.

See our Crystal Tree FAQ Page for more details, benefits and comparisons between our simulated versus unnatural looking metal trees.

Silver Artificial Manzanita Branches with Crystals

The picture directly above shows 2 Gilded silver 4.75' artificial manzanita branches decorated with our 1 ft. Swarovski Lead Free crystal ropes; branches SKU #XAMB-S55). This tree is not really "hovering" without a base (glass vase was edited out of picture). Two branches can actually hold up to 3 - 4 x as much crystal as shown, however, branches would have to be secured in a weighted base, planter, pot or glass cylinder. Three or more branches together can hold even more crystal. We manufacture and sell both real and artificial trees already mounted in weighted bases. Click on picture to see close up.

How to Hang Candles on Tree Centerpieces

To hang real candles, as with real trees, hang candles well-below branches as Preston Bailey does on all his trees (some of which are shown on our site). On our realistic looking simulated tree above, candles are hung at least 8" - 10" below any branch. Although candle on left appears to be close due to the angle at which tree was photographed, it is actually well below the branch & not close enough to cause damage to branch or anything else. Only a highly foolish person (who probably should not have matches!) would hang candles close enough to heat or cause fire on ANY branches, synthetic, real wood or otherwise, we state for the record, that fire is added risk, no matter what the centerpiece and event planners/florists should get liability waivers if hanging candles.

Crystal Trees for Event Decor

These fabulous crystal trees are perfect for wedding decoration, quinceanera decoration or for other spectacular and visually stunning events. Hang your centerpiece tree with our Swarovski Lead Free crystal octagon or teardrop crystal prisms, crystal ropes, glass dew drop vases filled with flowers, hanging votive candles, garlands of flowers, orchids, decor leaves, vines ... the possibilities are endless. Use our parts and tips to create the special event, wedding, shower or quinceanera decorations of your dreams. Make beautiful crystal festooned centerpieces for guest tables, buffet table or as a stunning crystal centerpiece decoration for your champagne or dessert bar. They also make fabulous home decor afterwards.


Crystal Size Conversions Tips:

1 inch = 25.5mm Multiply mm by.0392 to get size in inches or fractions of an inch so that you can visualize the size by looking at a ruler. Note: 20mm is the size of a U.S. nickle and 28mm is the size of a U.S. quarter. 16mm is about the size of a dime. 14mm is significantly smaller than a dime and is not recommended for any crystal tree project. You will find it simply too small to make an impact for the trees, but they are great linked together into ropes for decorating candelabras, candle sticks, chandeliers and other event decorations.


Note: Lead Crystal Warning

California Government Proposition 65 (you can Google it) states that any lead in crystal products including prisms, figurines, vases, etc. can cause reproductive and other harm from handling or ingestion of microscopic particles from handling. For this reason, among others, we no longer sell any loose pieces of lead crystals, but only Swarovski LEAD FREE which was used in both project #1 and #2 on this page. There is no other lead free or glass crystal that can even remotely compare. They simply don't sparkle as well. If it's not going to sparkle, what's the point of a crystal tree, right?


How Big is Big Enough?

All the Tree projects on our site use 5' foot - 6' foot tall trees (projects #1 and #3) or approximately 8' - 10' foot trees (project #2). Be aware that using a tree significantly smaller than this will not achieve the stunning, focal point, awesome and stately appearance of the projects shown on our website. This is especially true since smaller trees do not allow enough room for "hanging". Guests should be looking "up" at the hanging orchids, crystals or votives, not "down" or directly at them.

Instructions for Hanging Pot Votives on Tree:

To hang the pot candle votive cups as seen in Project #2 & #3, you can follow these tips, but you may find a better way on your own:

1. Tie ribbon or chord securely around the diameter of the cup.

2. Make securing points (3 ideally, but with wire, 2 may work) by looping through the diameter cord at the points evenly spaced around the cup.

3. Tie a not to secure each one in place. If using wire, once you loop the wire through about 1/2 an inch, twist it together and trim off the excess.

4. Extend each securing chord or wire upward to the desired length.

5. Tie all chord ends together or if wire, twist them together into one knot at the top and hang them on the more sturdy branches of your crytal tree.

How to Stand & Secure Trees Upright

You can make the tree stand up by placing it in a planter with rocks around it, however, rocks can shift and move and it is not the best choice if you will be hanging a lot of heavier items on the branches. We don't recommend using plaster of paris, since it does not provide enough weight and stability, cracks and breaks easily and (far more importantly) plaster of paris causes cancer according to it's own packaging. For this reason, we refuse to even touch Plaster of Paris when potting our own trees which we manufacture. Decor is not worth risking your health.

If your tree is very big and tall or if you plan on hanging lots of votives or lots of crystal on the tree (like Crystal Tree Project #1), you will likely need more stability than rocks. If it is not a heavy wood trunk like Crystal Tree Project #1, but artificial branches or branches shorter than 5' tall, rocks tend to work better, especially if the container is narrow at the top, holding the branches closely so that they cannot slip back up and out of the vase when heavy items are hung. This is why we use our 2' tall, narrow, tapered glass tree stand with a wide stabilizing "foot" for our Complete Crystal Tree Sets.

For bigger trees or trees that you plan to mount in anything other than clear glassware, consider purchasing our tree mounting compound which works better than anything else you will try. Our compound is manufactured for us and we make it available to our Event Planners and Florists or Brides and party planners who will need to mount at least 6 trees (it is a bulk container which is too much if you just need to do one tree; you would have a lot left over). It is currently available by phone until we put it back on our website.
