DIY Romantic French Wedding Place Cards

September 2, 2008

Here’s a cute way to incorporate the French custom of offering guests almond dragées as wedding favors: Use them on place setting cards!  First, collect some large, pretty leaves- something hearty with a rich, uniform color, like ivy or ficus. Using a thin blade, make 2 small cuts towards one side of each leaf. Slide a dragée between the 2 cuts, write the guests name on the leaf using a paint pen, et voila! Not only is this an easy way to add a sweet frenchy touch to your wedding, it’s also an inexpensive and romantic accent for a “green” wedding or garden party.
