Marigold Mandala

Marigolds are beautiful, low-maintenance, and have a clean, earthy smell. Plus, they are a natural mosquito repellent. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, why not use them to make a mandala in the lawn to create a sacred space and symbolize the journey you’re taking with your partner? My friend Leigh did this at her Northern Cali wedding, and she said, “I walked through it myself before the ceremony. It was a great, meditative way to get present. Plus, my guests wandered through it when they wanted to take a break from the dance floor.”
