Unique Green Gift Idea for Weddings

SEED BOXES
This is a beautiful unique small gift idea for saying thank you to your wedding guests. Joseph has designed little gift boxes made out of recycled tetrapak. For one wedding, a variety of organic seeds were placed inside tissue paper inside the box and the boxes were decorated with small flowers/greenery.
MESSAGE CARDS
For the same wedding order, Joseph also made message cards made from alien vegetation and recycled office paper. The idea was to leave blank cards lying around for guests to write a little quote, message or words of advice for the wedding couple. Each card was then tied to a rose and the 'message roses' were placed in a vase for the couple to enjoy.

    You are really creative dear and I must say it is really a great idea to go for something unique and save lots of money as well. I also gifted something like this to my best friend who got married at best LA venues just few days ago.
