Top 5 Wedding Favors and Why by Dion Semeniuk
WHAT ARE THE TOP FIVE WEDDING FAVORS AND WHY?
At most weddings, the bride and groom will offer some type ofsmall memento as a note of appreciation to family and friends,more commonly known as wedding favors. As you will discover inthis article, the type of favors are widely varied but there aresome that are considered better choices than others. Remember,wedding favors do not have to be expensive. In fact, this typeof gift can be something homemade. If you want to go all out,that is certainly fine, but it is also not necessary. The focusof the wedding favor is to let people know you are grateful fortheir assistance with your wedding and/or reception or that youare just honored they showed up. To help you get started, wehave provided you with the top five wedding favors.

Food

One of the most popular types of wedding favor is food, simplybecause most people love to eat. A wonderful option that iseasy and inexpensive to make would be to purchase small blackfavor boxes and then line them with white tissue paper. PlaceOreo cookies or dark chocolate covered peanuts inside and thentie the box off with white and red ribbon. Watch everyone enjoythe beautiful box but even more, the delicious goodies inside. This is a very nice choice for both informal and formal weddings.

Flower Plant

The second of the top five wedding favors is a fresh plant orflower seeds. With this, you can get as creative as you want. A couple of ideas that work very nice is placing a miniatureplant or cacti in a small terra cotta planter. To make thismore personalized, the women (and men) in the wedding partycould get together for lunch to embellish the pots with ribbon,craft paint, lace, and so on. You could also choose a simpleglass container, add three different seed packages, and punch ahole through the upper corner of all three to tie together withribbon. These are appreciated because once planted, they are aconstant reminder of your cherished event.

Fragrant Soap

For the third of the top five wedding favors, you might alsoconsider fragrant soap or votive candles. For soap, this is alovely wedding favor to place in hotel rooms of out-of-townguests. You can purchase all of the supplies at local hobby orcraft stores and then purchase your fragrant of choice such aslemon grass, watermelon, sandalwood, white ginger, etc. If youprefer, you can purchase pre-made soap or buy glycerin and moldsto make your own. As an extra romantic touch, look at molddesigns such as wedding bells, hearts, bubble designs.

Candles

Now for the fourth of the top five wedding favors, you can nevergo wrong with votive candles, enjoyed by both men and women. This type of wedding favor can again be purchased through ahobby or craft store or on the Internet. If you prefer, you cancreate your own candles, which involves melting wax, addingcolor and fragrance, and then pouring into approved glass jars. Choose several coordinating colors if you like and for thesimple yet elegant glass jars, add decorative touches such asflowers, ribbon, or trinkets attached with hot glue.

Pewter

Finally, the last of the five top wedding favors would be pewteror silver. You will find many wonderful choices such as pictureframes, paperweights, and bottle openers. With this type ofgift, you will probably pay a little more but this is a nicegift for a more formal wedding, affluent group list, or membersof the bridal party. Remember, you can choose from hundreds ofwedding favors to include miniature bottles of wine, stationarywith last name and wedding date, golf balls and tees for thesports enthusiasts, and the list goes on and on. Whether you gowith bubbles to be blown as you and your new spouse leave thechurch to creative miniature baskets filled with candles, candyor Jordon’s almonds and everything in between, the key is tochoose wedding favors that coordinate with your wedding but thatare also special for your type of guest list.

Choosing Your Wedding Colors

Choosing Your Wedding Colors by Shaan Randow
Wedding dress, flowers, church, reception, cake topper, decorations, music AND wedding colors. Although it sounds daunting, choosing wedding colors is really quite simple.When choosing your wedding colors think about the different colors that you like most. You may want to choose a main color and one or two accent colors for visual beauty. If you really don’t have a favorite color, think about the season that you’re getting married in. If you’re planning a spring or summer wedding go with pastels and brighter colors. For winter ceremonies try darker purples and burgundies. You can also use red and silver for a more Christmas themed wedding. For a fall wedding, oranges, yellows and even reds can give a warm harvest feel.One thing to remember when choosing your wedding colors is not to overdue black.

Although it is perfectly acceptable and popular to incorporate black into the wedding, over using it can give the feel of a funeral rather than a union of two hearts.Once you have chosen a main wedding color, you can always use a color wheel, which artists use to accent colors in paintings. Using a wheel will help you choose another color or two that will compliment your main scheme.

Another way to simplify choosing wedding colors is to visit a wedding boutique store with your bridesmaids. Choose a dress that looks good and everyone is comfortable in. Then ask the clerk what colors the dress comes in. By doing this, you will be narrowing down the colors to choose from. Once you decide on a color for their dresses, use this as a main color for your wedding.No matter what you choose for your wedding colors, this is a detail that will stick out the most with your guests. It will be the center and focal point of flowers, dresses and decorations. So, be sure when you choose a color, you choose carefully and be sure it is something that compliments your wedding party and the atmosphere that you want to set for your wedding.Other possibilities to help you choose wedding colors are team colors, if you are a sports fan, colors that you saw used in your favorite movie or book, or maybe a time period that gives you that “loving feeling”.

You don’t have to have a ‘wedding theme’ to have a ‘color scheme’. Be comfortable in the colors that you choose.Another idea to help in choosing wedding colors is thinking about what the colors represent. For instance, blue is cool, relaxing and offers a calming vibe. Red reads vibrant and energizing. Green is comforting, refreshing and tranquil, and yellow offers happiness and brightness, giving off an uplifted spirit.Choose colors for your wedding that will relate back to who you are and what mood you are trying to set. Be happy with what you choose because after all, this is your wedding.
