Green Bride Guide: 3 Wedding Favors for a Glitzy and Green New Year’s Eve

1. Tiffany Necklace

Surprise your bridesmaids and your maid of honor with a beautiful, sustainable and organic pearl necklace. The cultivation of pearls requires the preservation of the ecosystem. The water must be pristine, the land around it must be undisturbed and the air clean. The slightest change in water temperature, salinity, pollution and current can kill the oysters. In fact, the cultivation of pearls is the only industry that requires man to preserve and protect the environment.

2. Grand Marnier Lollipops

These lovely lollies have a pretty sheen to them. The Grand Marnier, an orange-flavored brandy liqueur, stands on its own, full of sunny lusciousness. Real, edible 23K gold sprinkled…

Delicious Gingerbread Favors from Chelsea at Frolic!

For a holiday wedding, we love the idea of giving guests a stack of gingerbread. If you have a special family recipe you can include that as well!

You will need:

-Gingerbread cookies (If you don’t have time for homemade, Anna’s gingersnaps are authentic and delicious).
-Fabric
-Greens
-Twine
-Scissors

Steps:
1. Stack the gingersnaps in piles of 4-5.
2. Cut a piece of fabric about 4 inches x 4 inches. When you cut the fabric, cut about an inch and then tear the rest; this gives the fabric a beautiful, raw and rustic edge.

3. Tie with twine and greens!

Tip:
Prepare 1-2 days ahead of time.

Here are a few of my faves, but go here to see all the favors (because, seriously, there are hundreds upon hundreds of options):

Plantable seed favors
