and you it's only seed.

as you all know, i'm a huge fan of martha stewart weddings as well as super cute ideas.
not only that, but i love being eco-friendly whenever possible.
therefore, i love the idea of these from the latest martha stewart weddings issue.

african violets make for pretty little packages. you can make this cute display by simply slipping the potted plants into panettone molds, cluster on three-tiered cake/plate stands or let them stand alone, and tuck a handwritten note inside for the guests.
