Handmade, Repurposed, Burlaps Coffee Bags

Starting today on our handmade burlap gift bags for all of our guests.  Saltspring Island Coffee graciously gave us their extra burlap coffee sacks.  We shall make good use of them.   We visited their Richmond store and picked up a nice bundle to start with.

We are not like other wedding fair where you receive swag bags full of advertising material.  As we are a homegrown event we try to give all of our guests their own wedding favour as they leave.  In the past we have given away flower seeds and macaroons.  This year we will have a handmade 3D paper heart in our little handsewn bags to give out. 

I will give a shout out now to all my little crafty helpers who really go above and beyond the call in helping me pull all the DIY elements together.

The 2nd Annual Grassroots Wedding Fair

If the reviews of all of guests and the experience of our vendors was the only thing to gage our success on then the 2nd Annual Grassroots Wedding Fair was a success.  What we lacked in numbers we definitely made up for in a gorgeous settting on a most dreadful wet and cold February 12, 2011.
