5 reasons to add an Olive Tree to your Wedding gift wish list.
Why an Olive Tree is the Most Meaningful Wedding Gift You Can Give
(And Why Every Wedding Gift List Should Include One)
Move over kettles and cutlery — there’s a gift that grows with the couple, weathers life’s seasons, and stands the test of time.
Imagine this: long after the honeymoon ends and the thank-you cards are sent, a beautiful Olive Tree still stands — a living, breathing symbol of the couple’s love, hope, and resilience.
No wonder the humble Olive Tree has become the it-gift for newlyweds. Even A-listers are embracing the trend: James Righton gave wife Keira Knightley a 100-year-old Olive Tree on their wedding day.
In Greece, a traditional blessing to couples is:
“May you always have bread and wine and olive oil in your house.”
And what better way to honour that sentiment than with the tree that brings the oil?
Here Are 5 Reasons to Add an Olive Tree to Your Wedding Gift List:
1. It’s a living symbol of love and legacy
The Olive Tree represents peace, hope, fertility and endurance — qualities that mirror a strong, lasting marriage.
2. It grows with you
With a compact root system, Olive Trees can be replanted and move with the couple from their first home to their forever home.
3. It increases the value of your space
Mature trees add up to 15% to property values. An elegant, established Olive Tree enhances not just your garden — but your entire home.
4. It thrives in a pot or planted in the ground
Whether the couple have a sprawling garden or a stylish balcony, an Olive Tree is the perfect fit — symbolic of longevity and abundant blessings to come.
5. It improves the environment — and your view
Olive Trees purify the air, absorb pollutants, reduce glare and noise, and conceal unsightly views. They create calm, green sanctuaries to come home to.
