Homemade vanilla extract wedding favours with a family recipe card for pancakes
A super sweet idea for wedding favours – as a food lover this is one of the nicest ideas I think I’ve seen – a tiny bottle of vanilla extract with a family recipe for homemade pancakes.

The only downside is the cost of vanilla extract, so perhaps a better idea for smaller weddings. I also had to share the picture of how these little …

Pretty floral paper pots
This little paper containers were too fun not to share, although I’m not sure their purpose at a wedding – I’m sure you can find some use for them! I would love to know how you fold the paper to create these little pots, and whether you cut it or just fold it – does anyone have any ideas or if you’ve made something similar would love to hear how? I love how they are tied with brown twine, and can be reused around your home – perhaps for tidying your desk or in your bedroom. Image: Blue Colibri via …

Rustic table plans using birch branches for a woodland wedding
This idea doesn’t need much explaining, but I thought it was a fun way to display your table plans – simply saw notches into birch branches and prop your place cards into them.

Lovely if you’re planning a woodland, outdoorsy wedding – and if you’re looking for a venue that fits this bill there are a growing number of them on the directory – and more coming shortly!
