I like Bizzymamabee's idea-in fact, I used it at my own wedding two years ago. Our colors were pink, black, and pearl. I am an only child, and my mom passed away when I was a teenager, (dad has not been around since I was 4), and she was a geologist and master gardener. Her favorite flowers were Cosmos-they are pink and white, and every shade and mix in between. I ordered Cosmos seeds, and packaged them in tiny ziplock baggies. I then made (yes MADE) little boxes/wrappers out of black and white and pink paper-each one different and unique. It took forever, but I loved them! Then I wrote a poem about planting the flowers and watching our love grow, and on the other side my explanation about my mom and the selection of flowers. Everyone really loved them-many of our friends and family have planted them, and they have been beautiful! |
