Oh, sweet details, I love when you come together! Let me fill you in on one of the latest Seashell projects. But first, an obligatory message to our wedding guests:
In recent weeks, we’ve had a flood of arrivals. First, a notable one from Italy!
So, as you may have guessed, our favors are in!
You may also recall our sweet ring pillow and the gold leaves attached to it. Reader audamy mentioned that the metal leaves could be purchased on Etsy if you search under “supplies”. What a great tip! I purchased about 250.

Armed with my new Cricut, I’m going to cut leaf-shaped escort card tags and attach these metal leaves to the bottles of olive oil to await our guests at the entrance of our venue. I think it’s all coming together! Any suggestions on ribbon, hive?
Maybe instead of ribbon, you could use twine? That would give it a really cool, organic look about it. Maybe even double-up on the twine? Plus, you can get it suuuuper cheap on amazon!
Gad zooks. You got olive oil shipped from Italy for favors. Your guests are some lucky ducks!
I love this idea! It’s going to look so great - and those are probably the best wedding favors I’ve ever seen!
wow, that must have cost a pretty penny! i love olive oil from the actual mediterranean region!
those are wonderful and i am so excited for them to get their favors
Color me jealous! I’d love to give out olive oil as a favor but it’s too expensive. Lucky that you have that hookup!
Take a look at this ribbon at cardsandpockets:

I think it’s so pretty and as soon as I saw your leaves I thought of it! It’s pricey tho 
Maybe you could use it somewhere else to compliment your leaves?
geniebeans’ leaf ribbon is awesome. I also like the twine idea. If neither of those work for you how about raffia in an earth tone? you could pull it through easily and then poof out the ends.
Um. Your favor is seriously awesome. I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t use olive oil. I would be sooo excited to get this as a guest!
i love your favors, so fun! I think it’ll look great with the little leaves, too!
