A Tree Grows In...your wedding favor?
Wedding favors are terribly tricky; they are meant to be meaningful, well-priced, and eternal. A lot to ask of a bulk item! But a branch of the Florida-based Magnolia Company called Seeds of Life offers a unique option that answers all of these concerns: the wedding favor of a tree.
A tree? Yes, a tree. And no, not a full-grown, "we sponsored a tree in the Brazilian rainforest in your name" tree, but a live rooted oak tree seed, tucked in rich soil and ready to sprout. Seeds of Life wraps these organic jewels in wee beribboned boxes to create a perfect gift, and the boxes are available in a variety of combinations to match with any color scheme.
The gift boxes can be further customized with a charming tag celebrating the bride and groom.
The practical concerns at the root of it are minimal. As Matt Roth from the Magnolia Company explained to us, all of the favors are guaranteed to grow into a seedling with just a little moisture, and each can last (incredibly!) in the specially-designed favor box for up to three weeks without water. Finally, the staff at Seeds of Life selects each seed by growing region, to guarantee satisfaction for every guest regardless of where they live. Could it be any easier?
According to the criterion of a great wedding favor, the Seeds of Life gift trees are a home run. Meaningful? Of course - literally a nod towards Mother Earth, and figuratively a nod towards deeply-rooted love. Well-priced? With volume scaled pricing, Seeds of Life enables sizable discounts for brides and grooms buying in bulk. And eternal? Well, now really. What is more timeless than a mighty oak?
