It is a trend nowadays for couples to get married during summer. The choice may be personal or just to follow traditions, but they know that summer brings a lot more opportunity and space to do what they want in their wedding. It is not as restricting as what other seasons bring in; this flexibility extends to choosing the summer wedding favors to please the wedding guests.
Summer offers a wide range of activities for everyone which opens the door to endless options for a summer wedding favor.
Summer is all about fun, flowers and the beach. Guests would be amazed on how you will make the reception hall come alive with flowers of complementing color combinations. Carnation pinks and purple orchids with white lilies — your guests would surely want to bring those fresh flowers to their homes. A brilliant idea is to give them hand-painted flower vases that you can easily personalize with a touch of your name and wedding date at the side. Complete the summer look by filling the vases with silk roses.
Imagine sailing over the lake near your honeymoon cottage. Use that image in your summer wedding favors. A small glass sailboat with a logo that evokes a wedding can be the perfect choice. Add to the scene with some small, colorful beach balls and you’ve got a ‘mini movie’ worthy of your wedding.
Expand the panorama by decorating the tables with cute shells, clams, sand crabs, and starfish handcrafted from resin or marble or any materials. They’ll be your guests’ summer trinkets they can enjoy even in the cold of winter.
Maybe you’re heading out to a tropical island for your honeymoon vacation. Perfect. Sea breezes, water sports, lazing in the sun. Provide your guests with miniature reminders of the joy to come. A tiny golf bag and clubs will amuse many. Or, select some pineapple-themed name card holders. Toss into the little sandbox some flip flop leather keychains in Hawaiian colors.
Everyone likes photo frames. Fill them with a picture of the bride and groom the day they got engaged. Complete the setting with a sea shell lining around the rim. Add a miniature surfboard of the type the happy couple shared on that happy day. Or, opt for a miniature copy of the bucket they used to build a sandcastle. Here, those could be in the form of a candle holder.
Even if you’re heading to the forest for your honeymoon, you can still choose summer wedding favors that suggest the great outdoor adventure you will have. Your friends can share your excitement for the Black Forest of Germany or the mountains of Montana.
Mini-lanterns that hold a bulb or candle can light your guests’ way to the table. Provide miniature pine trees or redwoods with little cabins at the base for your guests’ wedding favors. Or, give tiny ceramic horses of the type you and your future spouse will ride during that dream vacation trip. They’ll delight in taking them home as a memento of your wedding day.
There are so many things you can give as summer wedding favors. You can easily find one that is truly representational of what it is you want to share with your guests. In the end, whatever you choose for a summer wedding favor would always be a happy reminder of that wonderful day.
