Bringing in hues of buttery yellows and deep reds was must in our recent Marigold and Poppy Inspired Wedding. We wanted to extend that palette into the wedding favors our guests would be taking home, so we created this cute DIY Favor Box; a simple project and gesture that added the perfect pop of color to our event!
