Favors & Flowers

We have SO much wedding inspiration for floral stuff like bouquets and centerpieces, and also non-floral alternatives like paper flowers and origami boutonnieres… plus oodles of wedding favor inspiration. We’ve got separate categories for floral DIY projects and DIY wedding favors.

Up the fiber content of your wedding with these kale floral arrangements

A long time ago, I wrote a reactionary post called “Fuck yeah, kale bouquets.” It was a reaction to people talking shit about my favorite lettuce, and some people’s choices to have it featured prominently in their weddings.

Currently, I am planning a wedding, and I still feel strongly about the power of kale and it’s rightful place in weddings. So much so, that I’ve been rounding up so much kale wedding inspiration…

These hidden chest wedding favors are like a mystery subscription box for your guests

Hazi and Matt did a ton of seriously fun things at their woodland rainbow wedding, but their hidden chest wedding favors were especially intriguing. They took five chests full of geeky, gamer, and fantasy-themed loot and hid them around the reception area. Whoever found them got to keep all the loot!

Who needs flowers when tambourine bouquets are a thing?

Have we got a killer wedding coming up later this week for you, but I couldn’t wait to share this one particular detail with you. The bridesmaids had TAMBOURINE BOUQUETS! We love us some non-floral bouquet ideas, and this one is just so rad. Imagine walking down the aisle, gently shaking the tambourines and making such a lovely sound. Guh. Love. The best part? This was a DIY project by the bride and her crew. There’s a whole lot more DIY magic in store when we share the full wedding. Watch this space!

Check out this surprisingly classy cannabis bouquet

We’ve seen non-floral bouquets of all types like papier-mâché animal bouquets, paper roses, brooch bouquets, mini birdcages, and lanterns, and even offbeat florals like kale bouquets. But now is the time where we’re going to start seeing pot bouquets! Cannibis is taking it’s turn in fabulous wedding greenery and this styled shoot is no exception. Let’s spy the marijuana bouquet, boutonniere, and centerpieces all among the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (where it’s legal!).
