It's the first day of my favorite season...Autumn! Or as I called it growing up, Fall. This morning I am flooded with memories of jumping into piles of leaves, the smell of cider in the air, home-made apple and pumpkin pies, caramel apples, warm sweaters, warm colors...I love this time of the year! Inspired by the season, I pulled some photos for one of my fall brides to give her some nature themed (and some truly green) ideas for her gift bags and wedding favors. Here are a few I just love from
http://www.invitationsbydawn.com/ and her Naturally Ever After line. Some of these products are from recycled papers, so good for the environment as well as having a great "fall" theme.
Or how about individually wrapped pies from Dean & Deluca
http://www.deananddeluca.com/? Your guests will smell the pies when they walk in to the reception and will love you for the warm scented memories you will flood their senses with! Talk about making your guests feel like home!
