Wedding Seed Packs-An Elegant Choice for Low-Cost Favors

Using wedding seed packs for favors is a lovely idea and is very cost effective as well. You can present your wedding guests with seeds for annual flowers, perennials, trees, shrubs or even houseplants. The options are practically limitless.

Daisy Wedding Theme
Should you be having a theme that incorporates flowers, such as a daisy wedding theme, this makes choosing flower seed packets pretty easy.

A nice idea would be to determine how many different varieties of a particular flower there is that you could hand out as favors, rather than using all of the same color or type.

For a wedding that isn't focused on flowers as an actual theme, you could package your chosen seed types in themed containers instead.

Here are a few more examples of themed wedding seed packs:

Beach/Seashore Wedding
Should you be having a beach/seashore wedding, choose flowers and shrub seeds that would normally grow near an ocean. Bayberry (bush), Sweet Pea (vine), or Rosemary (herb) are all good choices.

Use miniature treasure chests, large sea shells, or beach themed favor bags or boxes to hold your seed packets.

Western Theme
Coneflower (Mexican Hat), Desert Baileya (Desert Marigold) or Purple Sage bushes are ideal for a Western theme wedding. Place the seed packets in miniature cowboy hats or boots, small colorful southwestern clay pots, or wrapped in gingham fabric.

Valentine's Day, Sweetheart or Romantic Theme
Although roses seem to be the first choice for a Valentine's Day, sweetheart or romantic theme, there are several other flower choices that are just as romantic.

Try using forget-me-nots, orchids, Amaranth (Globe), Bell Flower or Sunflower.

These are just a few of the flowers that are associated with meanings of romance, which you can include on your thank-you favor tags.

Themes Based on Colors
Weddings that are based on colors can also use wedding seed packs that will grow flowers related to a particular color combination. For example, if you choose to have a white and black themed wedding, use pure white flower seeds packs placed in black velvet-like material bags.

Purple and gold make a stunning color combination and flower seeds such as violets, purple irises, or purple lilacs placed in gold-toned favor boxes would be ideal as favors.

When it comes to choosing what types of flower seeds you could give out as favors, the variety of ideas are endless. All it takes is a little bit of imagination and creativity.

Hopefully the above ideas will provide you with some inspiration to come up with your own combination of wedding favors.
