Choosing Wedding Favours To Match Your Theme

Did you know that the finishing touches make all the difference when it comes to styling your big day? It therefore goes without saying that your wedding favours are a vital part of your overall wedding theme. Here are some ways in which you can make your wedding favours work for you.

Firstly, we let's examine wedding favours that are chosen solely for colour match. If your wedding theme is heavily based on colours, then this should be mirrored in your favours. Perhaps your bridesmaid gowns are sage green and cerise for example. If this is the case then choose sage green favour boxes tied with pretty cerise ribbon. Complete the look of your tables with cerise organza chair ties and soft green scatter petals. On the other hand if your theme is navy blue, choose navy blue foiled chocolates enclosed in navy blue organza bags. As before, complete the nautical feel of your theme with navy ribbons on bouquets, navy place cards and navy blue personalised napkins.

For other couples, they may take their inspiration from a venue or location of the wedding. So, if your wedding is taking place on board a boat, your theme will be nautical. With regards to your wedding favours, give guests little boat candles as favours or even chocolate seashells! Equally, if you are getting married on a tropical beach, treat guests to flip flop shaped lollipops and pop their name cards in flip flop place holders. Continue the theme with your table design by scattering palm tree confetti across place settings. You may be having a wedding in a Scottish castle? If so, think knights, damsels and medieval style. Use bunches of grapes as table centrepieces and treat guests to a hog roast dinner. Chocolate castles or candle castles will make apt favours or anything presented in a velvet pouch.

A third consideration is the time of year at which you marry. For an autumn inspired wedding, think of seasonal pine cones, ivy and holly as well as rustic colours. Autumn leaves make perfect table scatter and favours can be in the form of autumn candles holders. For winter brides, the Christmas colours make the perfect foundation for a wedding theme. Berries and mini Christmas trees make festive centrepieces and baubles are perfect for place names. Christmas themed favours such as mini stockings and novelty bottle stoppers would be sensational. Warm guests with hot mulled wine upon arrival. Spring weddings focus on lambs, daffodils and Easter time. Style your reception room accordingly and give guests Easter eggs as favours tied with ribbon from your colour pallet. And, if you are marrying in the summer, take inspiration from the warm sun and heady climes of the tropics. Choose tropical fruits for table centrepieces and give guests fresh fruit kebabs as favours which they can dip into a mouth-watering chocolate fountain.

Whether you are being driven by the time of the year, your wedding venue or some other inspiration, there are many ways in which you can provide guests with the perfect favours.
