9 Spring Wedding Favors that Symbolize the Love for Life
In Spring the Earth comes alive again. What better season of the year to hold your wedding? Naturally, you’ll want your spring wedding favors to have that same spirit: full of enthusiasm for the coming warmth, filled with life and the joy it brings.
Spring is a time of perfect harmony between practicality and beauty. Show that in your wedding favor selections.
Show your own harmony by giving out a dainty set of salt and pepper shakers that look exactly like two peas in a pod. They make great decorative items during your reception and will be very useful on your guest’s dinner table.
Flowers abound in spring. Fill your reception hall with all sorts of flowers and carry on the theme in your spring wedding favors.
Wine bottle stoppers are popular as wedding favors. Tie in the spring theme by choosing a calla lily design. You can give a pair and put them in a box that resembles a miniature planter. As an accent to your spring wedding favor package, use a rope-like ribbon to support the stems.
Pictures of fragrant roses, orchids and lilies, sights of beautiful gardens, tin pails, and watering cans come to mind when we think of spring. Keep this in mind or write them down on a notebook as you are brainstorming on how you can incorporate these elements of spring in your spring wedding favors.
Guests will always appreciate floral-scented candles that continue exuding sweetness even after your wedding day. Rose garden candles will endear you to the recipients. Alternatively, you can get small vases to hold real flowers and present them as your spring wedding favors. Or, get little bottles and fill them with essential oil which your guests can add to their baths.
Other than plants, animals too become more active during springtime. You can draw from this nature fact for some creative ideas when planning for your spring wedding favors.
Dove-shaped glass tealights will cause your guests to swoon with love as you did. Use the colors of Spring – delicate greens, bright blue, subtle pink – to add color to the table and the gift. Select some votives to go with them and add a delicate aroma that speaks of love awakening.
You can also have fun while choosing your wedding favors. Pick place card holders that are not only functional but will also tickle your guests. A practical choice would be garden party flip flops. They can lead the guests to their assigned seats. Be sure to get them in bright, different colors. Your guests can use them later at home to hold bills or photos.
Glass coasters are elegant, stylish and timeless, and make for great spring wedding favors. Pick your design carefully, taking care that they go well with your spring theme wedding. To personalize the glass coasters, just have your names engraved and also the date of the wedding. This serves with a dual purpose of keeping the tabletop clean and a memorabilia.
As spring is a season of rebirth, you and your partner are also taking a new path. Start it with a celebration with your loved ones and imparting with them spring wedding favors that serve as a token of your happiness and joy.
