You can use wheat grass for so many things at parties and events. In this article for Project Wedding I show how to grow wheat grass and use it to hold seating cards. It is really simple and cheap! Perfect for a Spring or Summer event.
Cute. But not practical. Handing over a popsicle stick with dirt on it? Not good. I would just place the cards in the grass that way they would not get dirt on them. It would also leave the guests free of worry (getting dirt on their belongings).
Ughh...I was SO set on having wheatgrass as centerpieces at our wedding. I thought it would go along with a springy garden party well, be cheap (therefore less guilt about spending loads of money onf flowers that are dead in two days) ..should I keep going? Anyway, I never got to fulfill that dream as I live in London and got married in the States and what seemed like a cheap and easy idea–not so much for a wedding afar. Three years later and I quite obviously haven't gotten over it yet. hmpgh. Looks lovely though, seriously. Brittany P.S. I did have very nice lime green and blue hydrangeas instead and I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but....
when I worked in New York City with a fashion company, we would create large wheat grass platforms and display our spring collections on it. It really added a bit of spring to the showroom and got buyers in the warm-weather mood when in reality the weather was cold outside.
We did this at our wedding. My dad grew 100 tiny terra cotta pots of bear grass, and we bought some sticks that looked like long twigs at Michael's to stick the name cards on. It looked great!
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me. Horse Bedding

ReplyDeleteReally cool idea. I'm adding it to my 20th Anniversary file. Maybe I'll grow individual pots full and have them as seating markers. Thanks Jordan
ReplyDeleteUgh! Still can't get over the fact that you hang out with an ex-boyfriend of mine!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea!
I, too, want to know what color/brand the nailpolish is? :) I have the hardest time picking out the perfect pink like that at the store!
