♥ Beautiful potted floral arrangements make wonderful centrepieces; and can double as wedding favours your guests can take home to become planted memories. ♥ Moss and ferns make stunning and impactful greenery for bouquets and flower arrangements, and are a great way to incorporate native greenery into your motif. ♥ Include a field guide in your wedding invitation or program with local trees and plants that can be found in the area, and give the guests an opportunity to learn more about our forests and wilderness. ♥ Wedding favours like handmade jars of jams, jellies, or other preserves make unique and thoughtful wedding favours for your big day. Personalized packets of wildflowers or other non-invasive seeds are simple symbolic ways to spread your love of the wild with your guests. ♥ Nature inspired wedding bands: Gold or silver fused with high-quality wood make, eye-catching wedding bands. Capture their beauty on your big day by arranging them on a leaf or flower to be photographed. ♥ Choose wildflowers from your backyard for your bouquet and evergreen boughs or willow branches strung with twinkling lights to decorate your tables and chairs. ♥ Use natural materials like burlap, linen or canvas (painter's drop-cloths are cheap and easy to find) for table cloths, runners or chair covers. Wrap natural hemp rope or twine in floppy bows instead of ribbon for bouquets. ♥ Choose a colour palette that is inspired by nature; sage green, berry red and faded blues and grays. ♥ Simple natural items like branches, fallen leaves, berries or grasses and reeds can add a dramatic and rustic element to your wedding décor. The bonus is most of these can be found objects.
