Chutney and Lavender favours

A very good friend of mine recently made all the favours for her daughter's wedding and I just thought I would share these with you.  Delicate little lavender bags for the female guests, all hand sewn together and stuffed with French blue lavender.  The names of the happy couple attached to one corner in the form of the old fashioned school name tags - such a brilliant idea.  

 

And for the chaps - a small jar of homemade chutney finished off with rustic brown paper and string and simply labelled. Perfect!

 Tied with  delicate pink ribbon and tiny rosebuds these little lavender bags smell gorgeous!

These little favours are time consuming of course but can be made way before the big day and how satisfying to see these lovely homemade gifts sitting on the decorated tables.

 



 

Lavender as confetti

An alternative to petals for natural petals or rice could be lavender for natural wedding confetti It smells so beautiful and if you are on a budget, it is much more reasonable. Try it with a mix of marigold petals to give a warm gold and blue colour mix.

The Mexican Bride

Our natural confetti petals travelled all the way to Mexico for a glorious wedding there.  The bride was absolutely delighted with the confetti.  It travelled really well in our little organza bags, all ready to hand out for the 'throwing moment'.  Check out our website www.naturalconfetti.co.uk for more information and Sharon's testimonial.  These little bags are so popular and can be filled with petals in your bespoke colours.  The latest favourite seems to be the vibrant blue and ivory.  They look gorgeous together.
