Renaissance women never went anywhere without a little pouch, made of leather or fabric, to carry things about or for storing herbs that they found and gathered. For your renaissance wedding, the pouch is a great way to give favors to your guests. Pretty much anything can be tucked inside a pouch, from those traditional herbs to Celtic cross soaps and even Celtic-patterned chocolates.

You can buy fabric pouches from Ye Steady Hands from $5.00 per pouch (they do give discounts for large quantities) or leather pouches from this wonderful Etsy seller, Eves Originals. At about $13.00 each they may be too expensive as favors if you're having a large wedding, but they would make lovely gifts for your wedding party. Pop in a little treat for a bridesmaid or groomsman and voila! a great wedding keepsake for those who are special to you.
