Fairytale Wedding

The carriage, the castle or the slipper?  With the many options in fairy tale theme favors and decorations, the choice is usually made soley on preference.  Candles, bookmarks, keychains, bath soap and favor boxes are among the favorite available types of favor choices for a Cinderella theme wedding or bridal shower.

For the tables at your Cinderella event, you could decorate coach shaped white or silver metal centerpieces and add Cinderella slippers filled with mints, glimmering castle shaped bookmarks or sparkling castle design place card frames as party favors.  Place beautiful rose floral arrangements on tables paired with Cinderella carriage shaped favor boxes filled with goodies.  Alternate centerpieces or differnt color table linens on every other table.  Choose a glamorous slipper or shimmering castle for the cake top or cup cake table display.

The wedding reception is a special occasion for bride, groom, and all their family and friends to break free from the ceremonies and have some fun.  When planning a wedding reception, you should strive for your guests to have an unscripted and enjoyable time; after all, there should be some reward for sitting through a long ceremony!  First and foremost, you will want to plan for some live music, or at least a DJ.  Having unique wedding favors on the tables will keep your guests entertained as the food is being prepared. For the menu, have at least two choices, and a vegetarian option. Though traditional weddings favor foods like baked salmon or roasted chicken, there’s nothing wrong with barbequed steak and pizza either. Also remember to not forget the cake!

The wedding reception often is the most expensive part of a wedding, but if everything goes according to plan, should be a fun and memorable experience for more than just the bride and groom.

There is a certain iridiscent beauty to crystal.  As wedding favors they’re sure to become a fine keepsake.  If you are looking for unique wedding favors, you are looking for something spectacular that will not only leave a lasting impression of the ambiance of your special occasion on your guests, but allow them to take a piece of the evening with them to cherish.

Whether your event has a specific storybook theme or not, these crystal pumpkin coach wedding favors create the memorance of romance, sure to delight your guests.  After all, anything is possible with a little “Once upon a time…” charisma.

If your wedding day is between December and February and you live in a state where it snows then it’s safe to say you’re having a winter wonderland wedding.  Your ideal wedding favors will depend on the style, colors or theme chosen for your big day.

One thing is for certain, if your wedding is coming up in the next three months, you’ll want to get your wedding favors ordered as soon as possible!  If you have a little more time than that, consider ordering a few favor samples.  You can spend hours browsing favors online, but until they are in your hands, you just can’t tell if they’re the perfect ones or not!  I suggest choosing two types of wedding favors and alternating them at your tables.  This way, you have a better chance of everyone going home happy.  Think, one favor a guy will like and one favor for a woman, or something specific for children (if you will have quite a few child guests). The snowflake wine bottle stopper pictured is befitting both women and men guests while this “Sweet Couple-ccino” mocha scented cappuccino candle wedding favor is a favorite among women.

It’s amazing what ribbon and personalized labels or fun stickers can do for your wedding, both decoratively and inexpensively!  It may seem like a large saving to put together your own wedding favors, but often the seemingly low price of each item adds up in the end.

The trick to unique wedding favors at a low price per piece in order to stay within (or under!) your wedding budget, is thinking outside the box.  In this case, I’m not talking about favor boxes or tulle bags, but paper cups.  Plain white paper cups, roughly the size of dixie cups, some ribbon and either a sticker, personalized label (the labels pictured cost 25 cents or less!) or even a fancy bow made from ribbon wrapped around the candy filled cup, make creative, inexpensive favors.

As a wedding planner I see many brides struggle with the decisions that must be made when it comes to their wedding favors.  There are so many different, fun, elegant and unique styles out there!  It’s easy to get caught up and mixed up over choosing the right ones.  Though there are no “right” or “wrong” favor types (afterall, it is your day!)  you can narrow favor selection down by the style/theme of your wedding and your favor budget.

Since, it’s so easy to get lost in the world of wedding favors, I have chosen to highlight different favors here in my blog.  The other day I pointed out some adorablge gingerbread bride and groom favors.  Today, I bring you elegant votive candle favors excellent for a vintage or victorian theme event.  Want romantic favors for your wedding guests or bridal shower attendees?  Either the pearl rimmed or cameo embellished votive candles may just be the perfect addition.

A seasonal wedding presents the opportunity to give “seasonal” favors.  While a ribbon wrapped candycane on each plate is very festive, maybe you’re looking for something a bit more inspired?

May I suggest that you invite the gingerbread couple to your wedding?  Not only unique wedding favors, but adorable and practical too!  There is a varitey of gingerbread bride and groom type favors to choose from.  Keyrings, bookmarks, votive candle holders, shaped candles and even the classic cookie cutters.  Whatever type of holiday wedding favor that you choose be sure to order as far in advance as possible.  The holidays can get a little crazy and with unique favors such as these, they may also sell out quickly!
