Tree Planting Ceremony

We are doing one as well. FH works for an environmental council so it was really one of the only unity ceremonies that appealed to us as a couple. We plan on planting the tree in pot instead of the actual ground and then dumping our different jars of dirt into the pot. I'm sure it will be a little messy but we are also getting married at a camp so we will already be out in the woods.

Great idea. Beats letting nasty helium balloons into the atmosphere.

I've never heard of this but I think it's super unique to you and that makes it even more special.

I've seen one done at a wedding and thought it was a great idea!

Some of my couples have done this for their unity ceremony. It's just a very short part of the service following the ring exchange. The bride and groom place a scoop or two of soil into a planter with a hand shovel while the officiant explains the symbolism. It's not messy at all. The tree is later actually planted into the ground. Best wishes!

Rather than deal with dirt, I have my couples water a potted tree/plant.

I saw this once at a wedding and it was beautiful. The mothers of the bride and groom each brought a jar of dirt from their home that they added to the potted tree and then the couple watered the tree.
