Anyone growing their own centrepieces?

We are having herbs ... rosemary, oregano and sage

Although I confess that I have arranged for a nursery to grow them for me ... my fingers are more black than green.

They will look something like this

They're lovely, a good original idea, but i think they would be smaller than what i had in mind and i wanted some kind of flowers really. How come you are doing herbs? What's your theme? You are getting married on my birthday!

We're growing our own but growing vegetable plants. The tables will be the plant and guests have to figure out which vegetable is their table.

Not sure we really have a theme ...... bridesmaids are in dark green and we have just kept everything else really simple ... hints of silver with green and ivory - the flowers are ivory.

We are getting married at a private country house (still lived in by the family) the idea stemmed from the fact that they have a knot garden in the courtyard in the centre of the building with lots of herbs. So we came up with the idea of having silver buckets with herbs in on each table as a centre piece (3 per table) - soooooo much cheaper than flower too!

Good Luck with you planning!

Sounds beautiful Alocin88, hope you have a fab day, and thanks for the input :-) x

We've just got an allotment and are planning on growing sweet peas for our centrepieces but tbh we haven't looked too much into it yet. Glad to hear someone else is thinking about growing their own too though!

My dad who is an avid gardener is growing me some flowers specifically for my wedding.

I absolute love the idea and I'm going to feel very proud that he has done that for me.

I love these selfless tokens, they have such a nice feel to them compared with something brought from a shop off a production line.

Thats lovely, i'm sure he will do a fab job. My nan is also an avid gardener and am thinking of asking her to grow them for me, what are you going to grow? I'm absolutely useless!

I'm growing Lavenders (4 different types) rosemary, thyme and Verbena bonariensis

Oh I'm glad someone has posted a thread like this, I'm hoping to have blue hydrangeas as our centre pieces and thinking of growing my own.

Haha. Thats a little bit of a sore point, because I'm still at the early stages of planning, and haven't even 100% decieded on a colour scheme yet, but my dad is already jumping on me a bit as he wants to start planning. He's told me the seeds need to be planted very soon in order for the flowers to be ready.
