One of the projects I began right after getting engaged was collecting vintage hankies. At first I wasn't sure what I would do with them. I had so many ideas in mind: print them with the invitation wording, give them as gifts for the wedding party, use them as cocktail napkins. In the end, I did end up giving each female (bridesmaids and special friends) a vintage hankie with her initial on it.
With all the other gorgeous hankies I collected-- some with all over dainty floral pattern, others with lace trim or embroidered with flowers-- I came up with a wedding favor for each guests that also became one of my favorite parts of the ceremony.
Our florist (more on her genius later!) filled them with rose petals and placed one at each chair, securing them with tags made by the lovely Dear Emma on Etsy.
It was so much fun being sprinkled with the rose petals as we made our way down the aisle- you can see by the photos how much I was laughing!
