Wedding Favours That Grow
Wedding favours are considered eco-friendly if they are not harmful to the environment; meaning your guests don’t toss them after the celebrations have come to an end! Favours that are functional, fun and ‘green’ are the ones that grow! A useful website, offering an abundance of ‘growing’ eco-friendly favors is: www.beau-coup.com. Selected items from beau-coup are described below (all images are from the beau coup website):
Minature Flower Pots (inscribed with a personalized message): Can be filled with spring bulbs wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon or, for the more adventurous, present your own planted flowers in the pots!
Bloembox Flower Seeds: Each favour is uniquely presented in a modern cylindrical lime-green box sprouting a satin replica of the included flower garden. Favours contains a strip of hand-made seed ribbon, which is made from all-natural, biodegradable paper and embedded with flower seeds.
Mini Lucky Bamboo Plants: Each bamboo stalk is displayed in it’s own colourful mini-pot. The mini-pots are available in both square and round shapes and the bamboo stalks can also be planted as a ‘pair’ – to represent the bride and groom. Bamboo has long been associated with luck, strength and resilience and is a very low-key plant to maintain.
Personalized Designer Seed Cards: Each seed card is hand-made and is attached to a personalized card. Cards come in 8 designs and 6 colours.
What couple wants to see their carefully selected wedding favours distributed all over the venue at the end of a happy and exciting night? Don’t let this happen to you! Instead, opt for favours that your guests will want to take home. ‘Growing’ wedding favours also serve to represent a blissfully growing marriage!

With our planet’s current crisis and fight for cleaner and greener ways of lifestyle, having a wedding with items and materials that may be harmful to the environment will not be helping. I am an active member who try to protect the world by having campaigns on nature related issues awareness programs. I am getting married soon and I would also want to take advantage of that moment to raise the awareness of people about how we should love and take care of nature and our environment. I saw from http://www.weddingfavordiscount.com/that they have wedding favor items with a nature theme. These are great looking items that can very well increase people’s awareness about the beauty of nature and that it might work as a wakeup call for them to start a greener and healthier lifestyle. I do not want to say that I am going to make an upfront speech about saving the world; all I wanted is to show them nature’s astounding beauty.
