Nothing says it is spring better than Cherry Blossoms! I've always wanted to attend Washington DC's Cherry Blossom Festival - I just haven't made it yet - so I thought I'd bring the festival to you and me! I've done some searching for the best Cherry Blossom items out there - you'll definitely want them at your spring event!

Cherry Blossom Place cards Order Now
These stylish cherry blossom themed place cards have an eco-friendly secret, they are plantable! Part of Event Blossom’s Please be Seeded™ line, these decorative cherry blossom inspired place cards double as a wedding favor and place card all in one! Each place card printed with a branch from a cherry blossom tree also has a pink seed paper cherry blossom attached at the top that guests can easily remove and plant. Instructions on how to plant and a list of flowers are beautifully printed on the back. Each card is also cleverly printed with the phrase "Please be Seeded", sure to spark up some good conversation among wedding guests!

The best part is that this favor is environmentally friendly: The tent style place cards are made from recycled paper, and the detachable seed paper shapes grow into wildflowers. Your guests will love to plant and care for these wildflowers and will remember your special day each time they water them. Going "green" has never been so unique!

Idea: Write out your guests names neatly on each place card, or print on clear labels (not included) and affix them for a classy look! 12 place cards per package. Size: 2.5" x 4".

This practical Asian inspired accessory will keep your guests cool and comfortable as they watch your ceremony, attend your reception or enjoy your bridal shower. Each bamboo fan is covered in white silk and hand painted with a delicate pink cherry blossom design.
