I realize it may be overused, but FH and I have been drawn to an "initials carved in a tree" theme. It's on our invites, cake topper, and guest book.
We are having a backyard wedding (our own yard), and we have a huge oak tree (as in, 100ft or higher) smack in the middle of the backyard. Because of said tree, we're having to get creative with multiple tents which will be positioned on either side of the tree.
I was thinking it would be nice to recreate the heart and initials on that tree since it will essentially be a focal point, but I obviously don't want to harm the tree by actually carving it. I thought about painting it, but can anyone suggest any other creative ways to do this?
