Using Dried Lavender For Your Wedding
My daughter is crafty and she was able to buy a huge amount of high quality - semi dried lavender, on eBay for less then $100.00 total. She was able to make table decorations with the lavender by binding a large bunch together with wire and then ribbons. They sat on the tables. Because they were dryish, they were able to stand up without vases. They looked good and smelled wonderful. The fresh flowers also included the dried lavender.
She purchased candle lanterns for the tables - made of wood, also from eBay. She also decorated these with lavender. People took them home as mementos. All this lavender "stuff" is still being used and it still smells wonderful.
She added a small sprig of the lavender to the invitations. For "green" weddings, I thought lavender plants would be nice, or lavender seeds.

Was it messy? I am planning on using dried lavender bundles for my seating cards and was concerned all the buds will fall off. But using semi - dried lavender did it make a difference?

you could throw lavender buds instead of rice, it's the same size and not too lightweight...

Sounds like a great idea! I will pass this on to my daughter. She is planning her wedding!
