DIY: Edible Favors for a Winter Wedding

I have been spotting some great ideas for DIY wedding favors.  Here are some extremely cute ones, especially for a wintertime wedding.  DIY-ing lets you personalize your favors to you and your fiance and adds that extra special touch.  Do you guys love cocoa or baking together?  Do you have a favorite spice blend?  Use these inspirations to come up with something tailored just for you and your hubby to be!  Here are some of my favorite ideas:

"homemade" stamped cookies, these are so adorable and the possibilities are endless

Or, you could let your guests get in on the DIY-ing with these cookie mix jars via Wedding Window

These cocoa kits are very festive, and could be dressed up to match your wedding colors or theme via kirtsy

For something more savory, how about these infused oils?  I love the thought of giving your guests a choice of flavors! via Just Putzing

Vanilla sugar would be a great addition to your guests holiday cookies or stirred in their coffee via Style Me Pretty

Are you planning on DIY-ing your favors?  What are you making?

Monday Funday 27: Feather Boho Wedding

Today I have a pretty feather filled bohemian wedding inspiration board!  I went with a neutral color palette with some gold mixed in.

Inspiration 259: A Lovely Neutral Rustic Wedding

I am a huge fan of color so I tend to do a lot of bright and colorful boards but my neutral boards are lacking a bit.  This board is just lovely though!  The mismatched bridesmaids dresses add some flair and the ruffled cake is to die for.

Inspiration 255: Burlap and Tea Tins

I think burlap and teatins really compliment each other well!  The soft vintage feel of the tea tins and the rustic feel of burlap would be great for a barn or outdoor wedding.  What do you think of this board?

Inspiration 251: Italian Soiree

How about some eggplant and mustard?  This is a great color palette for a fall wedding and definitely would work for an Italian or vineyard wedding.  What do you think of the eggplant and mustard palette!?

Real Wedding: Elizabeth and Isaac's Elegant Farm Wedding

A white horse. A pretty color palette. A lovely couple.  This wedding is definitely worth checking out!  I definitely love the bouquets, such a lovely combination of colors.

Inspiration 240: Rustic Peacock and Orange

This board is for a bride who wanted to combine a city and country feel into her wedding using peacock blue and orange as the color palette and incorporating feathers and pearls.  I think the bouquet in this board is spot on with the orchids and peacock feathers!  The clutch would be a great city chic touch for the bridesmaids to carry.

Inspiration 238: Rustic Eggplant & Orange

Oh what a lovely board I have for you this morning.  As you all may know/guess I love me a good rustic wedding, the bride who requested this board is having a barn wedding in the English countryside in late November.  Her color scheme is eggplant and white with touches of orange and silver.  She wants her wedding day to have a rustic and slightly vintage feel to it and this is what I came up with for her.

Theme Thursday 41: Modernized Vintage Barn Wedding

Another requested board!  I was contacted by Christina to make a board for her red barn wedding reception.  She wants to use coral as her main color but questioned if it would clash with the red, but I say no way!  Coral and red actually go together just fine.  For this board I used a few shades of coral (from softer to a more reddish coral), raspberry red, sepia, wood and white for the color palette.  She wants to incorporate a modernized vintage feel that has an outdoor touch to it that I think the natural, free form centerpieces really convey.

Real Wedding: Jenna & Richard's Rustic Ranch Wedding

You all know that I love a good rustic wedding!  Jenna and Richard combined pretty autumn colors with bright purple for their lovely and rustic fall wedding.  By the way, I really love Jenna's hair style.  A big congratulations to the happy couple!

Inspiration 219: Modern Rustic

After spotting this wedding, I thought a modern rustic board was definitely necessary!  I love how the modern, clean lines pop against the rustic elements of this board.  I think the bridesmaids in a LBD really bring a modern touch too.   For this board I kept with a mainly black and white color palette with a few pops of green!

Real Wedding: Lacy & Toby's Classic Rustic Fall Wedding

Lacy & Toby's wedding was super cute!  I love how they really personalized a lot of the details and the classic fall color palette of red, orange and yellow was perfect for their October wedding.  Thanks to Jenny GG Photography for sharing this wedding with us.

Real Wedding: Beth & Jamie's Elegant Rustic Colorado Wedding

This wedding really portrays rustic elegance throughout all of the elements.  Their cake is simply beautiful and I love the current trend of the "bride" and "groom" signs on the back of the chairs at the reception.  Of course, the couple is totally adorable too!  Thanks to Christina Kiffney Photography for sharing this pretty wedding.
