Ideas for Natural and Organic Wedding Favors

With the developing trend to ‘green’ up our lives and make far more ethical, eco-friendly lifestyle choices, a lot of brides are wanting to plan a green wedding, including wedding favors from an eco-friendly source.

Organic can also be included here as organic products pertain to be made from strictly organic ingredients or resources and which shouldn’t consist of any impurities or chemicals. So selecting organic wedding favors for your guests can count towards your ethical plans for your wedding. Many brides would consider that it is solely veggies which arrive in natural form! But the natural production procedures go considerably further than the vegetable patch! Here are some ideas for natural and organic style wedding favors for your guests:

Veggie-tastic:

Favors comprising seeds from natural resources can make for wonderful wedding favors. Alternatively try flower seeds, spices or also seedlings that have been developed organically. If it is your desire to stick to the trend for shrub or tree seedlings, then look for those that arrive from environmentally friendly resources and in which natural production strategies have been used. This means to look for natural compost, fertilizers and pesticide sprays, which could all have been used.

Food Stuff:

There has been a big rise in the variety of food connected products hitting the shelves with natural credentials, these range from honey and preserves, to bottles of wine, cider and beer. Stay with conventional style wedding favors but give them natural almonds, chocolates or candies instead! As a food connected option give them a book of natural tasty recipes or a single recipe for an organic dish.

Presents:

Organic goods now include items like clothing, accessories, cards and packaging. Make sure your thank you labels are created on natural card and try to include this in your wedding stationery as well. Why not make up scented sachets utilizing natural cotton bags and flower petals or lavender from natural producers?

Something Scented:

There is now a vast choice of natural beauty products and skin care products available and you will almost certainly discover a good choice at your local supermarket. If you can’t get hold of demo or travel size versions, then buy bigger sizes and decant them into more compact bottles obtainable wholesale. Small scented soaps are common favors and can be presented in little natural cotton bags. Or look for candles made from natural ingredients like soy or beeswax. Big candles look lovely presented in card boxes or offer two or 3 more compact scented candles in a natural cotton bag.

Wherever you look you are certain to discover a wealth of natural goods to choose from. While these may be much more expensive than classic wedding favors, you can be secure in the knowledge that they come from all natural resources and are truly favors with a conscience!
