Green Weddings: Eco-Chic Wedding Favors
Good wedding favors can be hard to find. This is especially true if you're looking for favors that:
- reflect you as a couple
- are eco-friendly, and
- are both functional and useful for your guests.

Here are the Top 5 eco-friendly favors we’d like to recommend:
Favour #5:
Make a donation to a local environmental organization! This way you help the environment and your guests receive a small thank you.
Favour #4:
Wildflower scatter seed gardens can be planted in your guests own garden. The wonderful thing about these gardens is that no grouping of flowers will be the same, so each of your guests receive a unique flower garden.
Favour #3:
Give flower seeds from the flowers that were used at your wedding. This is a new way for your guests to literally take home a piece of your wedding.
Favour #2:
Consider planting trees in honor of your guests. This will create a small forest in honour of your special day and you'll have a space for your guests to visit on your anniversary. Also, as the trees grow they will create a great venue for your vow renewal ceremony.
And I’ve saved the best for last...
The #1 Eco Friendly Favor is:
Seasonal fruit favors with a stamp that commemorates your special day are an easy do-it-yourself favor project. Use squares of eco-friendly (FSC - Forest Stewardship Council Certified) wrapping paper and stamp each piece with your customized stamp. Simply wrap the fruit in a square and voila, you have a hand-made favor. This favor is unique and healthy for your guests.
Until next time happy planning,
Amalia
