Wedding Favor Ideas and Themes

Beach Theme

A romantic stroll down a white sandy beach with the cool breeze brushing against your face and the orange glow of the sunset behind your back is what we envision for those that are having an island or beach wedding. It is not complete without the necessities that make this theme unique. Start off with a message in a bottle invitation to casually invite your guest to a beautiful outdoors event. The highlight of the wedding are the guests arriving to see aisles of chairs decorated with garlands of fresh flowers in season and the waves crashing in front of them. Definitely a lei is a must for the couple to be as they stand and exchange their vows.

Guests can enjoy the outdoors sea mist as they sit lightly fanning themselves with a mini buri fan. To end a beautiful occasion, guests can go home with a memory of all this, with beach wedding favors such as a mini tin pails filled with potpourri, or a polished clam trinket box. It is a day that the bride and groom eagerly await for and happily will remember and cherish.

Garden Theme

A traditional quaint garden wedding brings tradition to modern times. If you are having a garden themed wedding, it doesn’t necessary mean it needs to be outdoors. A modern edition of a traditional garden wedding can be substituted with great accessories.

Create a floral ambience with fresh flowers in bloom all around the ceremony or reception location. Having plenty of flowers is a must to recreate a garden theme wedding if you want to play to your guests’ senses. Add some twinkling lights across the ceiling for a romantic ambience. Small furry critters are a great accessory to table settings such as butterflies, lady bugs, or bees. Line the walk ways with candles such as garden stake votive holders or have real trees or plants and hang some paper lanterns to the branches. Place glass bud vases on each place setting with a fresh flower in each one. Guests will happily end the occasion by bringing home some great favors such as a mini pear candles that reads “The Perfect Pair” or personalized plantable wishing beans for them to grow.

Wine Theme

Great food, friends, and wine are the ingredients to a great wine theme wedding. If having your wedding at the wine country is not within your budget, a recreation of the exquisite ambience can be done wherever you may be having your wedding. Grapes and more grapes are always a must to create a wine theme atmosphere.

Have accessories on the table such as glass grape placecard holders to seat your guest accordingly adds a special touch. Play off the theme with vibrant colors of deep maroon and gold or light ivory and gold depending on which wines you love, the reds or the whites. Make sure to fully stock your bar with plenty of wines from various parts of the country. Have guest nibble on appetizers to compliment the various wines. Lastly, have special toasting glasses or wine stoppers engraved with your guest name so they can always remember your special day.
