Wedding Favours
Packets of wild flower seeds or herb seeds make unusual wedding
favours (can also be used for christenings or anniversaries!). Being seeds
they also ensure that your wedding day is remembered for a long time, as
when the seeds germinate and grow into beautiful flowers they are a permanent
reminder in someone's garden. As most wildflowers and herbs are attractive
to butterflies and bees these wedding favours will also be doing their bit
for wildlife!
Please roll your mouse over the thumbnails below to see samples - these can be adapted in
any way you wish. You can also choose almost any wildflower you wish or
one of four mixtures - seeds for butterflies, seeds for bees, meadow seeds,
or cornfield annuals (Poppies, Cornflowers and Corn Marigolds). Particularly
popular are our butterfly and bee packets, sunflowers and individual herbs
of Rosemary, Thyme and Lavender. Subject to availability, a dried flower
can be put on each seed packet, relevant to the seeds included, at no extra
cost, instead of a photo. Sowing instructions are included inside the packets
for those without instructions on the front. List of seeds included in the
mixes is also included in relevant packets. |

Handmade paper samples
These favours have the seed packet inside a handmade paper card,
tied with ribbon. Prices for these are £2.50 for up to 50
and £2.25 each for 51+.
Again, these can be adapted in any way you wish eg, ribbon colour,
wording, seed packet etc.

Potted Wildflowers and Herbs as Wedding Favours
An alternative wedding favour is a small herb or wildflower in a
pot - price per 7 cm pot is £1.10. Notice of a few months
is required if you want potted wedding favours as these will be
grown to order, unless we happen to have enough in stock for your
requirements. The pots are square black plastic and the plants are
in peat-free compost. The pots can be made more attractive by tying
ribbon bows round them, wrapping them in fancy cellophane or transferring
the plant or pot to a metal or teracotta pot.

How about Seeds in a Pot? - No. 1
These favours consist of a galvanised bucket (8 or 9 cm high, depending
on availability of each), a peat-free compost pellet (which when wet expands to fill the pot), seeds (of
your choice) and a label - everything your guests need to get them
started! So there's no excuse, even if they are not gardeners! Tied
to the bucket with a ribbon is a handmade piece of paper with the
words "In celebration of the wedding of ...." and the
date. The label inside the pots can be on any colour card you wish
(the ribbon can also be a colour of choice) to fit in with your
theme and will detail the name of the seeds and the words "Please
plant these seeds in your garden as a reminder of our special day!"
- or wording to that effect, whatever you like! The seeds are enclosed
in a handmade paper wallet.
Price - £2.95 each for up to 50. More than 50 - £2.75
each. Delivery £9.99.
We can supply the metal galvanised pots for the bargain price of
£1.50 each. Please phone 01227 730242, or order online
via the shop.
