Live Plants as Wedding Favors

Weddings are some of the most special and romantic events on the summer social calendar. What can be more beautiful than watching two lovers join their lives in front of one and all? Add some delicious cuisine, elegant garments, danceable music and now you’ve got a memorable party! All that’s needed are some wedding favors and everyone will remember the gala event even longer. How about some potted plants as souvenirs?
Engraved tchotchkes can be fun but what are the party guests going to do with the gewgaws after they get home? Potted plants, however, that can double as colorful centerpieces for the tables and wedding favors, can also decorate a guest’s home or office. These blooming plants are ecologically sound and smart for one’s budget. It’s a green idea since the souvenirs won’t be tossed into the landfill and because live plants are good for feng shui and atmosphere that we breathe.
The flowering plant chosen can be anything that’s in season and fits the ambience of the event. Choosing blossoms as simple as vibrant marigolds in small terra cotta pots can be striking. If something fancier is desired, gorgeous orchids sprouting from tiny terra cotta pots that have been painted white can create a wedding-like image to adorn table tops and then go home with guests. Having a photo of the bride and groom smiling from a stick placed in the soil can be a visible reminder of the happy occasion.
