5 New Ideas for Weddings

1. How Does Your Garden Grow? FREE Printable Seed Packet

Gift your guests the chance to gain a green thumb this summer season with FREE printable seed packet favors via Joy Ever After. This find is fresh, functional, and best of all… FREE!

2. A Photo to Treasure… Bride, Mother, and Grandmother

Brides, chalk this one down on your list of must-have wedding photos! This photo of her bride, her mother, and grandmother donning wedding rings is a sweet snapshot idea. By Megan W. Photography.

3. Greet Your Guests… Rustic Wedding Sign

Outdoor weddings – particularly those off the beaten path – guests often face the puzzling question: where in the heck do we park? Eliminate any questions + make it easy on guests with this rustic handmade wedding sign by Country Bliss Designs in a calligraphy style we crave.

4. Instead of a Flower… Feather Boutonniere

Take a cue from The Offbeat Bride and skip the traditional boutonniere flower. Instead, opt for a pocketful of feathers, as captured by photographer Nancy Neil.

5. Add Your Personal Stamp… Custom Foil Embosser

Favors are one step sweeter with added personalization. Make it easy to personalize with this custom foil embosser we spotted at Williams-Sonoma. Plus, we’re sure this is one wedding supply item you’ll find plenty of uses for after the big day.
