Weddings are one of the most special events

in life. They bring together two families and celebrate the union of two

individuals. They are also an opportunity to express gratitude towards those

who helped you reach this point in your life. As such, favors are given away to

your wedding guests as a show of appreciation. Confetti per cerimonie

Why Use

Flowers And Plants?

As a florist, I always look for ways to

maximize the value of my client’s wedding flower budget.

Whether working with a florist or a DIYer,

don’t overlook using flowers and plants as wedding favors. They are a

cost-effective wedding favor solution. This article will share ways to use

flowers and plants as wedding favors. They make memorable, useful, eco-friendly

gifts and, in addition, may help you save money on your wedding decor.

Fresh Cut

Flowers

Fresh-cut flowers are a popular wedding favor

idea, yet often overlooked.  Flowers are inexpensive, thoughtful

gifts for guests to take home after the ceremony. After all, everyone,

especially women, remembers the last time they received flowers as a gift. Use

flowers as your favor, and they’ll remember your kindness forever.

But flowers are also cost-effective because

they can double as table decor for your wedding reception. Bud vases containing

several stems of cut flowers can be grouped together and used as a wedding

centerpiece.

Your choice of vases can be an eclectic mix

of styles and sizes, or they can all be alike. All types of vases can

be used, from bud vases to mason jars and everything in between.

As you can see, the process is pretty simple.

It will work on traditional round banquet tables and a long king’s table. The

look can be softened by using an underlayment of material, a table runner, or

by including votive candles. As a finishing touch, add personalized gift tags

to each vase. As your guests leave the reception, encourage them to take one of

the vases as a token of your gratitude.

Flowers are especially appropriate as favors

for outdoor weddings since they symbolize growth and renewal. Inexpensive

bouquets that you can break apart and use can be found online, at your local

florist, or in grocery store floral departments.

Give Away

Potted Plants

Potted plants are another ideal wedding favor

option. Guests appreciate receiving potted plants as gifts because they are

practical and useful and usually don’t require them to have green thumbs.

Potted plants, whether flowering, green,

succulents, or potted herbs, come in various sizes and shapes, allowing you to

choose plants that match your style and budget.Place them into a decorative

ceramic or clay pot, or choose materials to wrap the pots that complement your

wedding decor.

Like fresh flowers, plants can be grouped

similarly or placed in a larger container, such as a basket or clay saucer, and

used as guest table centerpieces. For a splash of color, add

fresh  flowers in water tubes to each plant. Finish the plant

off with personalized gift tags on each pot.

Along with a personalized gift tag, include

instructions on caring for the plants.If you want to buy potted plants in bulk

for wedding favors, I recommend buying them from a local greenhouse or garden

center when possible. Contact a local florist if you don’t have any local

retail greenhouses. They should be able to source them for you.

Be aware that not all potted plants ship as

well as fresh flowers. They usually need a little greenhouse time to acclimate

before being sold.
