I am planning a medieval wedding and the only problem is we don't have much money! I have no idea what to do for favors that go along with a Celtic medieval theme. Help!
While of course favors aren't strictly necessary, I think a cool idea would be to give out little St Brigid's crosses, maybe even with a personalized ribbon with your names and the date. You can look it up on wikipedia if you'd like. Traditionally people nail these straw crosses above the inside of their front door to protect the house from fire, and it can be representative of the medieval Irish church or super pagan, depending on how you decide to look at it. You might be able to find someone on etsy that sells them pretty cheaply.
we are alos going to have a medeval wedding and I was planning on either a hand made Potpourri, a plant or Lavender sprigs tied together neatly with the guests name on it, all hand made
i am also having a medieval wedding. My finance has 4 young children (14, 12, 10, 9), i got a small hearts chocolate mold, some melting chocolate, and gold foil. We are making the little hearts and putting them in red velvet bags as favors.
As far as location goes check with gardens, renaissance festival sites and parks. These especially the parks and gardens are less expensive and with only a few decorations can make a great place for a medieval wedding. Remember it's more about the details and your outfits than anything else. Also bakc in medieval times they got married in forests and gardens, refer back to the ending of "Robin Hood : Prince of Theives" with Kevin Costner, those were medieval/renaissance times and they were in Sherwood Forest.
