Wedding Favors

Our story starts from the day a couple decides to take a step forward towards commitment and celebrate their love and affection with a formal announcement… it’s not a known tradition that you should have an engagement party and offer favors, but if you decide to have one, you have the choice of making it as simple as a family gathering, small garden party or go all the way to a formal affair with printed invitations and thank you cards to follow the event. The choice will depend on your budget and plans for the wedding.

When it comes to the big day, joy will form in the presence of family and friends who made efforts to attend your wedding and celebrate the occasion. The simplest way to express your gratitude and say thank you is in the form of the wedding favors you offer the guests.

You don’t need to spend a fortune on your wedding favors; you can choose a simple, meaningful gift that reflects your personality. Your choice will need to complement your wedding theme.

Personalized wedding favors are becoming really popular; they add a unique touch and can range from simple personalized fortune cookies to more elegant monogrammed favors which never run out of style. To give it even a more personal touch, and stay within your budget, you can use the DIY favor kits which can also be a good way reduce stress before the wedding.

Finding the perfect wedding favor will take time, so make sure you plan ahead. Take the time to search the different retail stores and online sites, and decide if you want to offer a single favor style for both genders, or a different favor for each gender. Just get a clear idea on what you want and work on reaching your goal.

Happy favor hunting.

Purple Weeding Theme

For passionate, creative brides who love to color outside the line, purple is a very good choice. The large scale of purple shades will accommodate any skin tone and can meet every bride’s taste.

Purple is the color of good judgment and symbolizes dignity, tolerance, spirituality and royalty. If you plan to have a purple based wedding theme, here are a few ideas to help you out:

Let’s start with the wedding invitations; the design of the invitation is becoming less and less traditional and more reflective of the couple's personality these days, so perhaps you could think about a purple envelope, purple liner or even purple ink!

For decorations and flowers, you will have a wide range of options to choose from as there are many shades of purple flowers, and more colors that go really well with it.

You might need to check with your florist on the locally available purple flowers to make sure you don’t pay higher prices for shipment. Using light colors like white and pink will bring out the colors of the bouquets and wedding arrangements. Purple weddings can include flowers like freesias, gladioli, tulips, deep purple roses, Wisteria and Hibiscus to state a few.

For your bridesmaids, you can choose a dress that is of lighter purple shades than your main theme with sashes of white or other contrasting colors. Another option would be to use silver or gray bridesmaids dresses with purple accessories and shoes.

For the groom and best man, different shades of purple will look lovely on a tie or vest. You can also use other colors like silver, cream and even brown for the vests with some minor introduction of purple in the form of cuff links and ties.

The combination of colors that include purple shades are really vast, so if you are a fan of the color, you will enjoy the wedding preparation greatly.
