Wedding Favors For A Country Garden Style Wedding

Gardens often present themselves as wonderful venues for weddings and it is little surprise that they

have become very popular locations for weddings in late spring and summer. Themeing your wedding

favors to your venue as well as your wedding style can be an easy way of producing perfect favors for

your special day. Here are a few ideas for country garden style wedding favors:

If you are the creative type then you have plenty of choice for your favors. The easiest is the

increasingly popular flower seeds. Although you could give this a twist by actually growing the seeds

yourself to being with and then potting them into separate plant pots just before the wedding day. Try

to choose varieties of flowers that coordinate or match with those in the garden venue itself.

Another variation on the flower seeds favor is to give herbs or even vegetables. Many garden centers

and gift stores stock herb garden kits and you may also find kitchen window kits for those who do not

have a garden at home.

Preserves, both sweet and savory, make wonderful wedding favors and particularly so if you make

them yourself. You may have an old family recipe which would make your favors rather more

personal to you and your wedding. Try to make them from seasonal produce if you can and if you

have the time why not make a sweet preserve for her and savory chutney for him?

Honey is another popular wedding favor and although this is perhaps a little too tricky to be making

yourself you can still create them from locally produced honey. Take a tour of your local area for

honey producers and find one which you particularly like. You can either ask about mini jars for your

wedding favors or purchase larger jars to decant into smaller ones at home.

For more traditional wedding favors with a country garden twist look out for some novel favor

holders/boxes such mini watering cans, pails and even miniature picnic baskets. You can fill them

with candies, cookies, chocolates or even flower seeds.

Other country style favors include corn dollies which you may want to learn how to make yourself at

home! Real horseshoes decorated with dried or silk flowers, recipes for old fashioned lemonade or

root beer also make lovely favors. Greenhouses for sale
