How To Choose Easter Themed Wedding Favours

First and foremost, it's important to think about ways in which you can bring the spring into your big day. Choose seasonal flowers such as daffodils, lily of the valley, tulips, snowdrops and pansies for a true sense of spring and by extension, Easter. A great way to style floral arrangements is in cute Easter baskets or even in egg cups. You can also bring springtime into your table decor by scattering seasonal flowers across your tables and by tying fresh flowers to place cards, napkins and chair ties.

Continuing with the floral themed idea, your Easter wedding favours should come in the form of Lily of the Valley personalised tea bags or favours boxes matching your flower of choice. So, if you are having pansy arrangements, team the deep purple tones with purple square favour boxes and lemon yellow square favour boxes. These two colours are sure to wow your guests. On the other hand, tulips are a typical spring bloom and these are a great way to inject some colour the proceedings. Tie the tulip theme into your favours by giving guests tulip mini gift bags filled with a delicious piece of wedding cake. If your flower of choice is going to be daffodils, present guests with yellow, orange or green favour boxes and finish them with daffodil head toppers. Due to the sturdy nature of daffodil stems, this bloom is an ideal choice for napkin ties along with your ribbon of choice.

A second fantastic way to get stylish Easter wedding favours is by using the Easter egg as your theme. Fill favour bags and boxes with delicious mini Chocolate Eggs as the ideal favour. Alternatively, use top hat favour boxes and fill them with eggs this will create the idea of the Easter bonnet! If you wanted to be totally novel, you do not have to use favour boxes at all; simply present each guest with a shop bought Easter egg and finish it with some bright yellow organza ribbon and a handwritten 'Happy Easter' tag! The Easter egg theme can be continued with your place settings with a blown egg shell hand-painted with the guests' names. This is a fabulous way to keep costs down as well as a personal touch for your guests.

Stuck for kids' favours? An ideal favour for the little ones would be a favour box featuring a chick, bunny or lamb. These can be filled with anything seasonal although Easter eggs of some form will usually go down well with younger guests. Alternatively, mini Easter cupcakes and miniature simnel cakes are a great enclosure for a co-ordinating favour box. You could present these to younger guests in ribbon clad Easter baskets passed round by your bridesmaids.

Finish the Easter feel of your tables with yellow gingham table linen, inviting guests to go on an Easter egg hunt and ensuring table centrepieces feature seasonal blooms and eggs!
