Spring is the time for rebirth, when everything comes to life again. It is also the perfect time for a wedding. Amidst all the joy and excitement of the season, let your spring wedding favors also convey the same warmth and zest for life.
Spring harmonizes what is beautiful with what is practical. You too can embrace this principle when choosing your spring wedding favors.
Show your own harmony by giving out a dainty set of salt and pepper shakers that look exactly like two peas in a pod. They make great decorative items during your reception and will be very useful on your guest’s dinner table.
Look to the flowers to add beauty. Your wedding celebration will be filled with them. Your spring wedding favors should continue the theme.
Common and practical spring wedding favors are wine bottle stoppers. Choose lilies as the main accent for this giveaway. Hand out a pair placed in a box that is similar to a miniature planter. Highlight the summer theme by using thin rope-like ribbon to hold the stems with.
Pictures of fragrant roses, orchids and lilies, sights of beautiful gardens, tin pails, and watering cans come to mind when we think of spring. Keep this in mind or write them down on a notebook as you are brainstorming on how you can incorporate these elements of spring in your spring wedding favors.
Scented candles that deliver the aroma of flowers will always be appreciated long after the special day. Rose garden candles is one way to make that memory concrete. Or, select a small vase that can be used to hold the real thing. Fill it with an oil that can be used to spread those delightful scents throughout the bath.
As the plants become active, so do the animals that live with them. Here is yet another spring-oriented theme that can be used to perfection for wedding favors.
Dove-shaped glass tealights will cause your guests to swoon with love as you did. Use the colors of Spring - delicate greens, bright blue, subtle pink - to add color to the table and the gift. Select some votives to go with them and add a delicate aroma that speaks of love awakening.
Preparing for a spring wedding need not be stressful; have fun with it! Be playful with your ideas, pick place card holders in bright hues to make them pop and brighten the guests moods in finding their seats. You can give away garden party flip flops; your guests can take these spring wedding favors home, always reminding them of that fun time they had that spring day.
Glass coasters are elegant, stylish and timeless, and make for great spring wedding favors. Pick your design carefully, taking care that they go well with your spring theme wedding. To personalize the glass coasters, just have your names engraved and also the date of the wedding. This serves with a dual purpose of keeping the tabletop clean and a memorabilia.
No matter what you select for your spring wedding favors, you can’t go wrong. Just as with Spring itself, there are an endless array of choices.
