Flower and Plant Wedding Favor Ideas (2024)

Flower and Plant Wedding Favor Ideas (1)

Plants—including flowers—can be used in more than just bouquets, centerpieces, and as general wedding décor. One of our favorite ways to embrace them on your big day? Giving them out as wedding favors. With the help of a florist, planner, and/or vendor that sells blooms or greenery, you can buy, style, and gift them to your liking, and to the pleasure of all of your guests.

There are tons of creative options when it comes to sending attendees away with flora. A popular idea is to order or DIY potted plants—succulents and other durable varieties are especially common. You don't have to hand out large ones, either. Mini plant favors are adorable, more affordable, and more manageable when it comes to transporting them (your celebrants have to take them home, after all). You can also present guests with bud vases, or other unique vessels that speak to your personal taste or wedding style, filled with stems that you love. And if you're working with something like air plants, they don't need to be placed in anything at all!

Nature-inspired favors don't stop there, though. Alternatively, you can gift petals, which can be savored for their scents, or seeds, which can be grown, or in some cases, eaten. If you'd rather not work with natural materials, faux florals and foliage are pretty, too. Click through to see all of these ideas and more, and start brainstorming your own wedding favors. Many of these gifts offer double the inspiration, serving as things like seating "cards" as well.
