A living wedding favour your guests will cherish

Choosing wedding favours is about more than ticking a box — it’s about offering something meaningful, beautiful and lasting. For couples looking to move beyond sugared almonds and trinkets, olive trees offer a deeply symbolic and elegant alternative.

Our Cipressino olive trees, supplied in 3-litre pots, are perfectly sized for wedding table décor and can be gifted to guests as living reminders of your day. With a limited collection of 100 trees available, they are ideal for intimate and thoughtfully curated celebrations.

Why olive trees are perfect wedding favours

A symbol of love, peace and longevity

The olive tree has been associated with marriage and unity for thousands of years. In Mediterranean cultures, olive branches symbolise:

• Peace and harmony
• Enduring love
• Fertility and abundance
• Strength through time

An olive tree is not fleeting — it grows, matures and deepens in character, much like a marriage itself.

Giving an olive tree as a wedding favour is a powerful gesture: a living symbol of the life you are building together.

Cipressino olive trees as table décor

Elegant, understated and timeless

The Cipressino variety is naturally slender and upright, making it especially well suited to wedding styling. Placed along long tables or used as individual favours, they bring:

• Soft Mediterranean elegance
• Architectural simplicity
• Natural texture and calm greenery

Styled with linen runners, candles and handwritten place cards, these olive trees feel effortlessly refined — whether your wedding is rustic, coastal, modern or classic.

Wedding favours your guests will actually keep

One of the most common concerns couples have about wedding favours is whether they’ll be left behind.

Olive trees solve this beautifully.

Guests can:

• Take them home and plant them in the garden
• Grow them on in pots for patios or balconies
• Remember your wedding each year as the tree grows

Unlike disposable favours, these olive trees continue the story long after the last dance.

A sustainable and thoughtful choice

Modern weddings increasingly reflect values of sustainability and intention. Choosing living plants over plastic or packaging-heavy favours is a gentle but meaningful way to reduce waste — without sacrificing beauty or impact.

Each tree is:

• Long-lived and evergreen
• Grown to thrive in UK conditions
• Easy to care for and low maintenance

• Wedding favours
