Lavender – lightly scented, a handful of lavender, beautifully packaged in scalloped tulle rounds or circles and tied with a personalized wedding ribbon will make for very romantic wedding favors.

Wedding Bubbles – non-toxic and non-staining, wedding bubbles come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.  Each one comes with a wand and bubble liquid.  Some have silk flowers on top and others are shaped like a champagne bottle too.

Heart Shaped Wedding Rice- environmentally friendly and completely edible by birds, this unique wedding rice toss will be perfect for your wedding ceremony. 

Plantable Seed Paper Confetti - Shower the happy couple with this plantable, seed-embedded confetti that will grow into a garden of wildflowers!
