I got pot plant flowers for each table, put them each in a terracotta pot, and then tied a bit of ribbon around them. They looked nice, cost about £2 each and we gave them to guests that we knew liked flowers at the end. Depends on the time of year, but garden centres usually have some nice cheap flowering plants.
i second the idea of individual fairy cakes, i did some for my wee girls christening and then had an M&S cake to match. I used a pastry cutter, you know the crinkly type, and cut out flowery circles which i popped on top of each cke, then added ready made daisys from a cake decorating shop. I've also done them with love heart sweets.They looked fab.
We didn't bother with favors, cheapskates that we are, but e-bay usually have some nice net favor bags very cheaply. I did all my own stationary and that saved a bomb. We also had the wedding on a thursday and at a venue that doesn't usually do many wedding. They charged less than places that weren't nearly so nice, and weren't fixed about what they could offer us. I also got my dress from the states, saving 2 thirds of the uk price.
