Flower ~ fetti
A friend of mine's daughter is getting married, and I was invited to
be one of the photographers, and help with the wedding cake. During one of our conversations I suggested creating a special blend of
flower-fetti for the exit toss. Basically an eco version of the traditional practice, yet full of fall colors - thus making it perfect for a
Sukkot wedding. Sukkot weddings are at the top of my list as extra special, one of the reasons being the beautiful symbolism that is wrapped into this eight day celebration. Of course all weddings are extra special and beautiful because I believe that weddings are to be Holy business.
Fall Flower-fetti Recipe: {using dried, spent or old herbs to create your special blend}
- Hibiscus - this was put through a small blender to create smaller pieces
- Chamomile - offers a strong floral scent to the exit toss
- Calendula Petals - the main giver of color in my blend
- Lemon Balm - used for hints of green and supports a well rounded scent
- Rose Petals - used for color and scent support
- Lavender Petals - I would have used the buds, however what I had on hand were leaves
I made sure each of my herb choices were dry, and chopped into small - safe tossing pieces. Then I added all of them into a large bowl and mixed well. Once the fetti was well blended, I bagged the mixture in wedding favor bags and tied up them up with a ribbon. To make sure the fetti remains dry, until the special day, I poked a few holes along the sides of the bag with a pin. Creating very small air holes for breathing ability.
There you have a fall, floral supported fetti that is simply beautiful.
