What are some wedding favour ideas for a rustic theme?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Rustic wedding favours often use natural materials like hessian, wood, or glass jars. Think mini jars of honey or jam, wooden coasters, wildflower seeds, or a small potted succulent wrapped in twine.

A rustic theme calls for favours that feel earthy, handmade, and connected to nature. Mini glass jars filled with local honey, jam, or chutney are a classic choice. Tie them with hessian ribbon and add a wooden tag with your names and the date. Alternatively, small wooden coasters, bottle openers, or keyrings engraved with a simple design make practical keepsakes.

Wildflower seeds are a lovely, low-cost option. Give each guest a small paper envelope or tin filled with seeds, with a note saying they will bloom in memory of your day. Potted succulents or small herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, also fit the rustic look and can double as table decorations.

For a cosy feel, consider a sachet of dried lavender, a homemade candle in a mason jar, or a small bar of soap made with natural ingredients. If your wedding is in autumn, mini jars of apple butter or spiced nuts are perfect. In winter, a small pinecone ornament or a sachet of mulled wine spices adds warmth.

Keep packaging simple: brown paper, twine, and kraft tags work beautifully. You can even write each guest's name by hand for a personal touch. Just make sure any food favours are suitable for guests with allergies, and label them clearly.
