WEDDING HERBS

June is known to be the month for “lucky” weddings rooted in the ties to the Summer Solstice.  What better way to celebrate the happy occasion than with wedding herbs. Great for showers as well as flowers for the bridesmaids, plus an herbal potpourri to be scattered by the flower girl, attached to a gift or thrown to shower the bride and groom!

Use these herbs for bouquets or potpourri to bless the happy couple . . .

Rose for Love
Rosemary for Remembrance
Marjoram for Joy & Happiness
Lavender for Devotion
Sage for Long Life & Good Health
