Seed Wedding Favors

Sometimes it is the case that the best weddings are those that aren't necessarily the most expensive or the most stylish. For some couples the idea of a less formal, more relaxed affair appeals far more than a stuffy, traditional affair. So it is little surprise that when it comes to choosing the wedding favors these couples will opt for something such as seed packets which to them symbolize the beginning of their new life together.

Flower seed are the most obvious choice for wedding favors & many couples will choose flowers according to the style & theme of their wedding day. For instance if their floral arrangements included bright sunflowers, then their wedding favors would consist of sunflower seeds. Another reason for choosing flower seed as favors is because we often associate flowers with love & romance. Other popular flower seeds include poppies, wild flowers, forget-me-nots & daisies.

However, many of these flowers tend to be annuals & so are gone in just one year. Consider vegetable or herb seeds as a nice alternative for your wedding favors. Vegetable seeds will give back a healthy crop of fresh organic produce (hopefully) & as such maybe appreciated more by your guests than a box of heart shaped chocolates ever would. Make sure though that you buy seeds that work in conjunction with your wedding theme & that planting & care instructions are included, otherwise your guests maybe left somewhat confused!

Evergreen seeds make for an everlasting gift, although might fir trees may not be suitable for every guest's garden! However, trees do make for a symbol of strength & everlasting life & are perfect for sharing your hopes of a long life with your guests.

Aside from seed packets you will also find plantable wedding favors. These little cards have seeds embedded in them & all your guests need to do when they get home is simply plant them & watch them grow! You will find these in an assortment of shapes, from flowers & hearts to individual ‘picket fence' posts which can be torn off the card & planted separately.

If you give seeds look for those available with personalized packets so you can add your names & wedding date. If you aren't sure what to give each guest, why not place all the packets in a box or decorative dish & let them choose for themselves. That way they will get a plant that suits their lifestyle, gardening abilities & the size of garden they have at home. There is little point in giving out seeds for tall trees if all they have is a window box!

As you will discover packets of seeds gives for a wide of variety of wedding favors & can be coordinated to your wedding style easily, be it in color or species. The gift of seeds as a wedding favor brings a natural beauty to your wedding day.
