DIY Succulent Favors

How beautiful are these simple DIY succulent favors? If you have been on Pinterest or as obsessed with Joanna Gaines as I am, I'm sure you've seen some great succulent displays and these definitely measure up to all the hype for these adorable little plants.

I had the honor (along with the other fantastic bridesmaids and mother of the bride) to host a stunning, picture perfect DIY garden themed bridal shower (more pics to come!) and these favors were an absolute guest favorite. I mean who can resist them...they are just too darn cute!

How to make your own:

We ordered everything off Amazon. It made it super easy and the prices were either comparable or cheaper than home improvement stores.

1. Order gorgeous succulents (the maid of honor order two 20 packs in 2" pots and she had some extras to make some adorable displays in her home)
2. Order succulent soil mix (this is a large bag, we only used about half for this entire project)
3. Order mini metal buckets (I had the idea of buying thrift store tea cups, but for such a large shower this would have been a little costly, but if you have a smaller group this would be so pretty!)
4. Make or buy some 'Thank You' tags (these were on clearance from Michaels)

All you do is take the each plant out of it's plastic pot, put about a 1/4" of soil on the bottom of the tin bucket in place your succulent in. You may have to fight it a little out of the plastic pot, but be gentle. Then make sure it's secure in it's new tin home. *If you use a different pot, just add enough soil for the succulent to match the height of the new container.

Add the 'Thank You' tag by threading a loop through the handle. You can also tie a ribbon or any other cute accessory will work.

That's it!! How simple!

Don't forgot to water them before your party and about once a week.

Can't wait for this beautiful wedding! Only 3 more weeks!!
