Wedding favours are an important part of the design of your celebration and the memories that guests hold long after your event. Too often these are overlooked amongst all of the other details involved with planning a wedding but, luckily, there is a way to enjoy fantastic, unique favours without too much hassle.
Here is an overview of why wedding flowers can work as great favours and how you can go about choosing and presenting them perfectly at your event.
Why Use Flowers as Wedding Favours?
Typical wedding favours are disposable, forgettable items that guests usually forget about soon after leaving the reception. Using flowers as wedding favours provides a unique gift that is sure to have a more lasting impression. Instead of chocolates or other small, typical items, flowers provide a sign of appreciation for your guests that they will enjoy at home for days after the celebration.
Flowers need to be purchased and arranged for weddings regardless of whether they’re being used for favours or not. Incorporating your wedding favours in with other flower choices allows you to eliminate two design tasks at once! When looking at this level of convenience combined with the unique nature of the gift itself it’s easy to see what a great favour flowers make.
How Should I Present Them?
There are a number of different ways to make your wedding favours look great. One idea is to arrange miniature bouquets at each of the reception tables. These don’t need to be expensive — a small selection of flowers taken from your wedding arrangements works perfectly. This also allows you to echo the design of your floral theme on a small scale and lets your guests bring home a physical memory of the celebration.
For an even more unique presentation idea, leave packets of flower seeds at tables along with a small photo of the blossoms and growing instructions. Presenting your floral wedding favours like this makes for an interesting and interactive gift that can live on in your guests’ garden long into the future.
