OK, so a lot of you are probably wondering why I chose this post as my “best of.” After all, it’s not mind blowing, or even particularly eloquent. But this is one of my favorite posts because I think it really shows how someone who isn’t super gifted in the crafting department (that would be moi) can still create some simple, handmade details that can really bring out you and your spouse’s personality on your wedding day. This post is also a testament to the fact that, even though not everything went exactly the way I had hoped, I am so lucky to have amazing and patient family and friends, who stepped in at the last minute and helped bring a lot of my pie-in-the-sky DIY dreams to life.

One week before the wedding my MOH, my mom, and I decided to tackle the honey favors. It was a total assembly line, and the process went very smoothly.

My mom filled the test tubes with honey and corked them.

MOH Deniz dipped the corked tubes into a bowl of beeswax that we melted on the stove using the double-boiler method. The beeswax acted as a the perfect natural seal for these test tubes.

She then left the beeswax to cool by sticking the dipped test tubes into a container filled with rice, for stability.

I was the last step in the assembly process—I cut out twine and used it to tie the tags I made a few weeks ago onto the test tubes.

Here’s a close-up of the finished product.

Here they are, all packed up and ready to be delivered to the reception site.

I’m so happy with the way these turned out. I think everyone will appreciate their edible favors!
