Let’s be honest, how many times have you left a wedding with a tiny bag of unwanted chocolates or a cute but totally impractical trinket that just ends up in the junk drawer (or worse, the bin)? If you’re looking for thoughtful, beautiful, and actually useful wedding favours, you’re in the right place.
Enter: succulent wedding favours. 🪴
They’re natural, sustainable, and won’t get tossed the second your guests get home. Instead, they’ll be a little reminder of your special day, one that keeps growing long after the dancefloor carnage has receded.
Why Succulent Wedding Favours?
Well…
🌿 They’re good looking. Tiny, vibrant, and full of personality, succulents look stunning on your tables and in your guests’ homes afterwards.
🌿 They last (unlike most wedding favours). No wilting flowers or half-eaten chocolates here! These little plants thrive with minimal care, making them a gift that truly lasts, well after the big day!
🌿 They’re eco-friendly. No landfill guilt here! Succulents are a sustainable wedding favour that aligns with an eco-conscious celebration, with ours being zero plastic and easily recycled2az at their end of life.
🌿 They’re personal. Customise them with little name tags, pots that match your wedding theme, or even little care cards for a thoughtful touch.
🌿 They double as table décor. Instead of inflating your wedding budget on fancy place settings, let succulents do the heavy lifting as wedding favours and a beautiful, natural centrepieces.

Choosing the Perfect Succulent Favour Container
When choosing the perfect succulent favour to fit your wedding vibe and budget, there are so many creative options to pick from! Whether you're going for rustic charm, modern elegance, or something totally unique, there’s a succulent container that’ll match your style.
💍 Glass Jars – Simple, stylish, and effortlessly elegant. These give succulents a delicate, modern look while letting their vibrant greens shine through. Perfect for minimalist or botanical-themed weddings.
💍 Paper & Hessian Wrap – A budget-friendly yet beautiful option. Wrapping succulents in kraft paper, hessian, or even fabric creates a charming, handmade look that’s perfect for rustic or eco-conscious weddings. Bonus points for biodegradable materials of course!
💍 Upcycled Teacups – Vintage, whimsical, and oh-so-pretty. If you’re a fan of quirky, Alice-in-Wonderland vibes, upcycled teacups make for delightful, one-of-a-kind favours that double as table décor. Why so not dust off those old teacups?
💍 Terracotta Pots – A timeless classic. The warm, earthy tones of terracotta pair beautifully with succulents and work well for boho, rustic, or garden-inspired weddings. Plus, they’re budget-friendly and easy to customize with paint or calligraphy!
💍 Wine Cork Planters – Tiny but totally adorable! Hollowed-out wine corks make mini succulent holders that are perfect for wine-themed or intimate vineyard themed weddings. Plus, they’re a great way to upcycle!
💍 Copper or Metallic Pots – Want a touch of glamour or a hint of industrial? Mini copper, gold, or silver pots add a sleek, modern, and luxe feel to your table settings. They also make a great keepsake for guests to take home.
💍 Recycled Tins & Shells – Give old tins a second life by turning them into cute succulent pots. Or, if you’re having a beach wedding, why not use seashells as natural planters? Sustainable and stunning!
💍 DIY Succulent Kits – Fancy getting your hands dirty? (don’t worry ready-made ones are available!) Why not try a terrarium kit? A fun, interactive favour that lets guests create their own little plant masterpieces.
