One of the blogs I enjoy following is Parisian Party and this picture on their blog recently caught my eye:
Apparently, in France, it is a custom to give guests almond dragees as wedding favors, but you don’t have to be French to love this fabulous favor idea. It’s simple, it’s green and it’s extremely budget friendly! 30 minutes picking leaves at the park, a sharp knife, some chocolate covered almonds and a paint pen – VOILA.
(see Parisian Party for more detailed instructions).
These would look absolutely fabulous resting on the cloth napkin at each place setting, and you could use them as place cards as well if you wished.
Thanks for adding my blog to your list!
Parisian Party is one of the best wedding blogs on the web, no kidding. (Besides this one of course.) This is a fab idea, I missed it the first go-round.
I’d make sure the leaves used are not toxic, such as lemon or orange, etc. Also, how soon before the wedding could these be done?
I guess it would depend on how long the leaves keep before they start to turn brown. If you want more time – you could use faux leaves as well
