I'm doing a gerger daisy theme for my "Spring" wedding, any advice on invitations or favor ideas?

Question

I have looked at every wedding invitation website it seems and I can't not find a decent invitation that has gerber daisy's on it. If this isn't possible I'm looking for a sage green or pink wedding invitation, can anyone point me i the right direction. I'd like it to have good paper qulaity too. Most websites feature invitations (Iv'e ordered samples) that have real flimsy paper.

Also, I need some creative ideas for reception favors.

Thanks!

Answer 1

IF i were you i would just do it myself. Since your probably having flowers at your wedding anyway, meet with your florists and ask for some flower samples. Choose the ones you you like and play around with them. Take pictures with you and your guy with the daisies. Maybe you two could hold the flower together, while being able to see your rings. Then Create a design on your computer. Make it personal by adding a line from your song that you'll dance to at the reception. Get your paper from a warehouse, the print it yourself or let Kinko's do it. IF you do it yourself, you'll save so much money. And since it is a "spring" wedding, Make some wire springs and use them as napkin rings, for holding pictures in a center piece, or as a candle holder.

Can you just go to a "paper warehouse" type place that might have the Gerber Daisy on the paper and you make your own invitations? Why not see if you can find the daisy petals and sprinkle them in the tables or have then tossed as you and your groom leave. Another idea just hit me, Stampin' Up is a really cute stamp company I'm not fully sure what a Gerber Daisy looks like but they have some very pretty stamps, not sure if they can be found at stores or have to be ordered, buy the color and weight paper you like, type up the invite then decorate with stamps.

I just did a wedding for a client of mine that had had Gerbers in
similar colors. As the bride was not in the same state as I, I had her go to her local Lowes and pick out two paint chips that matched her wedding! She then emailed me and I went to my local Lowes and found those colors. Sonic Lime and a Rugrats
pink. I am an herbalist so the favors were half bars of hand-made soap wrapped in her colors. There is a wonderful paper store down the street from me. I made a template of a daisy and in the middle placed the couples name and date they were married. They were a big hit.

My niece made her own invitations by photographing a gerber daisy then enlarging it and cutting to only show the center of the flower (very Georgia O'Keefe) Printed it in black on deep orange and hot pink papers. At the reception, she had tall vases with multicolored gerbers in them and goldfish swimming in the bottom. I like the other suggestion of giving daisy seed packets as thank you gifts, that's cute.

Answer 5

Oh I love GERBERAS! Worked in a florist and they were so cheerful! As far as the invites, I'm getting mine from now-and-forever.com, I know I say some daisy ones on their somewhere, and the paper seemed good to me! Also Rexcraft.com had good stuff too! Gerberas make such cute hand-tied bouquets! As far as the reception, for centerpieces, you could do big bubble bowls with the gerberas floating and throw in some floating votive candles, really easy and inexpensive. Also, they look so cute going all around the layers of cakes! My centerpieces are topiary balls covered in hot pink gerberas, in polka dotted flower pots, and htey are gonna be sooooo cute! You could get the bridesmaids to each wear a gerbera in their hair.... for the favors, you could do like a daisy shaped cookie with your dates in the center?

Answer 6

You can use gerber daisys in a glass pitcher filled with pink water and have cut up limes or grapefruit floating in the pitcher, or use square cylinders filled with pink rocks or jelly beans in the bottom and have the stems/flowers placed on top of the jelly beans, oops sorry those would be table centerpieces...for favors white chocolate in the shape of a daisy or pack of seeds with "love grows" on it?

Answer 7

PaperDirect.com has some daisy wedding invitation stuff....

For wedding reception favors, try gerber daisys (if they are in season, go live...otherwise try silk ones) tied with ribbons that are pre-printed with you and your husband's name and the date on them. And, if you have that type of guests, maybe you can tie the gerber daisy to a packet of gerber daisy seeds... so your guests can plant flowers and watch your "love" grow....

The Wilton U-print invitations have one with a pearl-embossed daisy boder.
