Wedding Seed Favors – Ideal for Outdoor Weddings

Especially suited to outdoor or “green” wedding themes, wedding seed favors are an alternative to the typical candy or mint favor. There are different types of seeds and presentations you can use to make a wedding seed favor look special enough for your special day.

Glassine or vellum envelopes used to hold seeds or bulbs give an elegant appearance that lets the natural beauty of wedding seed favors show through. Accent the envelopes with gauze ribbon to keep the airy look flowing. Don’t forget to add planting and growing instructions. For a more stylized look, you can place seeds in silver-colored round metal tins with clear sections on the lids. Narrow ribbon accents can add a splash of your wedding accent color next to the cool toned metal.

For a more flowery, garden party atmosphere, decorate the top of a square favor box with ribbon and a silk flower that matches real flowers in the garden or containers. You could add a whimsical touch by placing small craft store ladybugs, ants, bees, butterflies or caterpillars on the floral flower box top – perhaps under or on top of a silk leaf. Inside the box, place the wedding seed favors with planting and growing instructions.

Pre-seeded shapes are super popular for wedding seed favors. You can find cards that include the seed embedded shapes to use as favor tags or tie a stack of the seeded flowers with pretty ribbon. This idea works great as a personalized wedding seed favor by using personalized ribbon and a personalized tag that reads something like “Our Love Grows Stronger Every Day. Rachel and James. June 5, 2012.”

Mini flower pots, garden tools, watering cans and more are available through wedding favor supply websites and craft shops. These containers and accents are perfect accompaniments for wedding seed favors of all types. Mix and match your favorite looks and you’ll find it’s easy to come up with unique seed favors!
