These cactus can favors are the chic and easy favor you’re looking for

Joanna and Ben’s Latin American fiesta wedding had tap dancing, cacti, tequila carts, and opera singing. The favors stood out for us since they’re just so.damned.adorable. They’re cactus can favors! Mini cacti in saved up Latin American food cans = colorful, super easy decor and favors. And you get to eat a ton of beans and other yummies in the process.

Winter flora on parade: 16 of our favorite winter wedding bouquets

See that fabulously rustic winter-themed bouquet up there? The bride, Fern, was totally at the whim of her florist — who just took the idea of a winter bouquet and ran with it. Sometimes when you let creative folks free, you get some seriously amazing results, like some of the the winter wedding bouquets you’re about to eat through your eyeballs. We’ve got red with green, sparkly crystals, paper flowers, GIANT paper flowers, stunning brooch bouquets, clean and simple white arrangements, multicolored succulents, winter wildflowers, and so much more. Let’s get our flora on.

These papier-mâché animal bouquets will make you weep with beastly joy

Narwhals, unicorns, lemurs, elephants, and woozles, oh my! These papier-mâché animal bouquets were made by artist and bride Mercedes from an upcoming wedding for which you’re going to go wild. Mercedes and her groom Justin had an “Embrace your inner creature” theme which spawned a whole lot of bestial, natural, and super gorgeous DIY decor. That includes these kick-ass animal bouquets of real and imaginary creatures.

Offer wedding hankies for crybaby guests

Danni and Zach’s wedding was full of cute lil DIY bits, but I rrrreeeeaaaaalllyy loved the dish they set out with wedding hankies for their teary-eyed guests. Is it the blue glass jar? The handwritten tag with lacy edge? The promise of actual cloth hankies inside, of which I am a very huge fan? I DON’T KNOW, but I love the whole damn thing.
