An Herb Garden Inspired Wedding

Ideas and Inspirations | Photos and Galleries
Motif:
any type of herb

I love the smell of fresh herbs in the summer and having them be incorporated into a garden wedding is just perfect. There are so many ways to incorporate herbs into a wedding (or even a bridal shower), including:
• the actual bouquets and boutonnieres
• actual decor (wreaths, hanging pots, centerpieces)
• favors (potted herbs doing double duty has take home gifts and place cards)
food (herb butter, herb roasted potatoes, thyme marinated grilled chicken, Summer herb crusted salmon)

Plus, herbs are a great solution for "green weddings". Not only are they green in color, but they are eco-friendly when planted in pots and given to guests to take home and use.
