Lavender for Weddings – Confetti, Favours, Bouquets, Decorations, Table Settings…
There’s such a long list of ways in which dried lavender can be used for weddings! If you use dried not fresh lavender you’re also taking the need for seasonality out of the equation too, making planning simpler.
Lavender for wedding confetti
There are some beautiful pale blue dried lavender grains that have a delicate fragrance and throw like rice. This confetti is 100% natural and biodegradable too, making it venue friendly. Perfect!
Wedding favours – lavender bags
The great thing about using lavender bags for wedding favours is you can choose the colour to match your scheme. Lavender bags are inexpensive and have many uses. If your guests chuck your wedding favour in a drawer when they get home, next time they open it they’ll smell the lavender and think of you!
Using dried lavender in bouquets and arrangements
Spikes of dried lavender stems can add interest to mixed bouquets. Using dried flowers means you can plan (and even make) the wedding flowers weeks in advance, and they’re often less expensive than fresh flowers too. Another popular practice is to mix dried and fresh flowers for an inventive arrangement.
Lavender is the perfect shape and size for understated buttonholes and corsages – sometimes larger or rounded flowers can compete for space.
Lavender for weddings – Venue decor
There are so many ways to use dried lavender stems to decorate the venue. Here are just a few ideas
- Tie a few stems with ribbon or raffia for the table setting – you can add a name tag too if you wish
- Wrap ribbon around lavender bunches and hang from chair backs or pew ends
- Place lavender stems in vases or bottles on each table or lie them down along the table centre
- Display lavender heart wreaths
