I love the idea of flowers as a gift (don’t we all ladies?), but they’re not exactly practical gifts, so what about giving your guests something longer lasting? The English Cottage Garden Nursery does packets of seeds, personalised for your big day. I love the fact that they recommend a list of plants associated with weddings and love for you to choose from, it’s that bit more meaningful, and great for an eco-conscious couple. I’d definitely be giving Sneezewort to my friends from deepest Somerset. From £1.75.
