🎂 Wedding Cake Stand

Display your wedding cake on a chunky tree slice for that lovely handmade, rustic feel. Perfect for woodland wedding themes or barn receptions.

Layer candles of different sizes on a tree slice for a cosy, romantic glow. It works beautifully on guest tables, welcome displays, or the gift table.

 

💌 DIY Table Numbers & Place Settings

Use mini log slices as DIY place cards or to hold table numbers. You can personalise them with names or add tags for a whimsical finishing touch.
