A daisy wedding theme is not complete without the perfect favor to conclude the evening. This list of ideas features something for every taste and budget.

This list of daisy-themed wedding favors is certain to leave an impression upon guests.

Do-It-Yourself Daisy Cookies

If the bride or groom has a passion for baking, a favor that allows guests to enjoy cookies at home is a wonderful choice. Many online, discount, and baking specialty stores sell daisy-shaped cookie cutters. These can be secured to a decorative bag filled with the dry ingredients for the couple’s favorite sugar cookie recipe. On one side of the bag, a sticker can be attached with the couple’s name and the date of the wedding, with the full cookie recipe on the reverse side of the bag.

Hand Painted Daisy Sugar Cookies

For those who prefer to buy rather than bake their goodies, hand painted sugar cookies can make a lovely gift for guests. A creative display idea is to have the baker mount the cookies on sticks and form a large ‘bouquet’ of cookies near the exit from the reception hall.

Couples can purchase personalized ribbon to tie onto the sticks as well, eliminating the necessity to attach paper labels to the cookies, which can become tangled in a bouquet-type presentation. As guests depart, they can then easily select a cookie from the arrangement.

Personalized Flower Seeds

There are two options available to couples that wish to give away seeds as a souvenir of their daisy-themed wedding. A variety of personalized seed packets are available that can be imprinted with the couple’s name and the date of the event. Another option is the living favor. Living wedding favors are flattened foam shaped like daisies that contain wildflower seeds. When the living favor is watered, the flowers will grow from the favor, and watching the sprouts emerge from the favor is part of the enjoyment for guests.

Daisy Candles and Soaps

Online retailers sell a variety of products shaped like daisies, including candles and soaps. Daisy tea lights provide a unique option and can easily be packaged in tulle circles tied with personalized ribbon. When packaging daisy shaped soaps, it is best to select a cellophane baggie, to which coarse bath salts or bath beads can be added for a dynamic look.

Daisy Wine Favors

For couples who enjoy wine tasting, there are a variety of daisy favors available to reflect their passion. Daisy wine stoppers and charms are available in styles that range from elegant to casual. Couples may also select hand painted daisy wineglasses or champagne flutes that guests can use for the evening’s toast of the couple and then take home.

Do-It-Yourself Daisy Flowerpot Favor

Festive daisy favors can be made at home for less than $3.00 per favor. The needed supplies include mini terra cotta pots, floral foam, loose artificial moss or grass, spray paint, and single stem artificial daisies. These creative favors can also double as place cards by adding floral picks into the foam, and the pots can be color coded to communicate meal selections to wait staff for a sit down dinner. When guests get home, they can remove the floral pick and keep the pot as a memento.

After selecting the perfect daisy favor, couples can focus upon addressing their daisy wedding invitations, designing their daisy wedding flowers, and brainstorming other creative ways to use daisies in their big day.
