POTTED FAVOURS ARE OUR NEW FAVOURITE THING

By

We’re among friends here, so I’m going to be honest: I think favours can be a total waste, considering most of them will end up in the trash or unappreciated (or both). That said, I love them when they’re actually useful – who doesn’t love a free jar of something? – which is why I’m crushing on the potted favour trend. Herbs or plants look gorgeous, smell great and will actually be enjoyed. If I was given one at a wedding, I know I’d do a little happy dance for sure.
 
Here are some of the potted favours we’re loving at Bridesmaids Only:

Herbs are awesome because they’re something you always need but often don’t have on hand. Now, life has just become a lot easier. Winning!

OK this isn’t a real plant, it’s made from paper. But it’s BEAUTIFUL. It’s the kind of object guests can happily show off in their home (or re-gift).

It’s hard to kill succulents. I know because I’m a black thumb and no plant survives under my care except these sturdy babies. And that why they’re the perfect favour, they’re so easy to look after. In other words, you’re not lumping guests with a high-maintenance burden (cough *bonsai* cough). So not only do they look cute, they’re a considerate gift too. Oh, and how sweet is the little tag?

This is a little different interpretation of “potted” but I couldn’t resist sharing this beautiful pic. Honey and jams are great gifts because you know they’ll be used. Plus, honey never expires.

And here’s one more succulent image for the road. The more I look at this pic, the more I love the bright colours.

Here’s What Your Bridesmaids Aren’t Telling You!

If you’re a bride struggling to deal with the mundane wedding tasks, you might ask yourself, ‘What are the expectations for my bridesmaids? And are they reasonable?’. Letting your gal pals know what you expect of them is important stuff so no one is frustrated or doesn’t understand what you wanted them to do in the first…

“The Charis dress from Bridesmaids Only, in a navy colour. It was below the knee dress with a high neckline, I was going for a classy look that wasn’t too revealing for a traditional ceremony. They wore hot pink shoes to match with their flowers.”

I don’t know about you, but I love playing around with trends! While I respect classic outfits like the LBD, for me the fun is in wearing what’s hot right now. That said, there are times when trends should be approached with care. Even I know there’s a major difference between testing out harem pants on a Saturday night and going for the “in” thing on your wedding day. After all, those pics are going to be around a long time!
