Unique { and easy } Wedding Favors

A lot of my brides and grooms ask me for tips on how to make their weddings more personal. My reply is always the same, "Nothing beats a homespun favor". It's the one piece from your day that your guests will be taking home along with them. Something to remember all of those precious short moments by. If you put some thought (and a little elbow grease) into these little time capsules, you'll find that your guest will enjoy keeping them around for quite some time.

Here are some of my favorite d.i.y. favor projects from around the interwebs:

Succulent Terrariums 

Who could resist such a pretty little indoor garden? They look spectacular and are embarrassingly easy to care for, perfect for an organic themed wedding.

Homemade Jam Delights

No one will refuse a homemade jam. These tasty and fresh recipes are simple to produce and will receive many delighted praises.

Valentine Light Bulb

O.K., just how cool is this? A cinch to duplicate with your names and wedding date, they will make themselves right at home on your guests bookshelves. I think I'm going to be trying this one out myself very soon :)

How are you planning to add a bit of personality to your day? Any interesting favor projects you'd like to share? I'm all ears!

Pretty amazing, right? I can't help but smile every time I glance at them. {love}

A big shout out to Heidi for somehow making everything look better on film than it ever could have in person, and to Hilary for completely blowing it out of the water with what is most definitely the sweetest little cake I've ever lay eyes on!
