I had an outdoor wedding reception. I had small planters with Marigolds and a seed packet with a romantic saying and thanked the guests for coming with our wedding date. I used them as center pieces on the tables and for gifts the guests could take home. Everyone loved them! To cover up the dirt, I put flat glass beads around the flower in each planter then tied my wedding colors with ribbon around the planters. I got clear sticks that hold small cards from a florist to hold the seed packet, pushed them into the dirt in the planter and ran off the sayings from my computer onto sticker paper and stuck them on the seed packets. . You have to plan ahead though! Give yourself plenty of time if you actually grow them from seed or you can cheat and buy a few flats already blooming- if they’re in season. Plan it out!
