I had the honor (along with the other fantastic bridesmaids and mother of the bride) to host a stunning, picture perfect DIY garden themed bridal shower (more pics to come!) and these favors were an absolute guest favorite. I mean who can resist them…they are just too darn cute!
How to make your own:
We ordered everything off Amazon. It made it super easy and the prices were either comparable or cheaper than home improvement stores.
- Order gorgeous succulents
(the maid of honor order two 20 packs in 2″ pots and she had some extras to make some adorable displays in her home) - Order succulent soil mix
(this is a large bag, we only used about half for this entire project) - Order mini metal buckets
(I had the idea of buying thrift store tea cups, but for such a large shower this would have been a little costly, but if you have a smaller group this would be so pretty!) - Make or buy some ‘Thank You’ tags (these were on clearance from Michaels)
All you do is take the each plant out of it’s plastic pot, put about a 1/4″ of soil on the bottom of the tin bucket in place your succulent in. You may have to fight it a little out of the plastic pot, but be gentle. Then make sure it’s secure in it’s new tin home. *If you use a different pot, just add enough soil for the succulent to match the height of the new container.
Add the ‘Thank You’ tag by threading a loop through the handle. You can also tie a ribbon or any other cute accessory will work.
That’s it!! How simple!
Don’t forgot to water them before your party and about once a week.
Can’t wait for this beautiful wedding! Only 3 more weeks!!
The beauty about this place is that they give you a somewhat blank canvas where you can create the wedding you envisioned, etc., which will be different from others. The staff at wedding venues chicago is incredible and professional.
