Thanks!
I actually looked EVERYWHERE for similar mini-pots….and couldnt find anything. BUT….I went to IKEA….and they sell juice glasses shaped EXACTLY like the flower pots (6 for $2!) So I bought a few of them…..got some craft paint….poured it in the cups…..swirled it around to cover the sides…….and they look just like the ones you used! For 60 mini-pot favors……..glasses/paint/ribbon/flowers……..its only going to cost me about $50-$60! Now I’m having trouble finding those little mini faux orange stems…………

Hi Erin –
I actually bought those at IKEA, but it was over 2 years ago now that this shower was held, so I’m not sure if they’ll have them any more. I’ve tried searching online and have had a hard time finding anything similar as well.

Alternatives that I might suggest are to purchase regular mini flower pots (from places like Home Depot or Lowes) and just decorate them with orange and yellow ribbon – or spray paint them orange and yellow if you’re feeling very motivated :) Or you could also look for orange and yellow paper or acrylic cups for the same type of effect.

Good luck with the shower!

I am planning the bridal shower for a wedding in which I am the maid of honor….and we are doing the citrus theme…..and I am having hard time finding those cute little orange and yellow flower pots with the ribbons around them (the favors). Where can I find them??

I know I'm a bit late here, but I would recommend lunabazaar.com as the website with the best selection of colors of paper lanterns. As for yellow, they have five shades to choose from.

Russ and Debbie –
No worries – I understand what you’re asking about now :) Those are actually “Sweet Allysum Bedding Plants” and are very inexpensive! I just bought them in the nursery area of Home Depot. I can’t remember the exact price, but it wasn’t much – I think maybe $2-3 per “6 pack” (enough to fill 6 pots). Here’s an image that looks similar to how they looked packaged at the nursery. Hope that helps!

It is in the background behind the mimosa.
