Wedding Favor Bags Can Make Any Favor Compliment Your Decor

Posted on by

Wedding favor bags are the perfect way to tie any wedding favor you select into your wedding theme decor. Maybe the favor you selected does not match or compliment the colors of the event. Perhaps the favor doesn’t come with any kind of packaging to present to your guests. By opting to use a wedding favor bag you can harmoniously have your favor blend right in to the decor.

Wedding favor bags come in a variety of styles. If you would like to still see you favor but have it in an elegant bag chose an organza bag. Organza wedding favor bags come in sheer colors. They add just a touch of color and still let your wedding favors shine through.

Celebrate Your Union With A Sand Ceremony

Posted on by

I wrote about unity ceremonies not long ago. But I didn’t really cover all of the options available with a sand ceremony. When you chose to celebrate your union as husband and wife by performing a sand unity ceremony you will have a lasting memento afterward to cherish for years to come.

Each person will have a different color sand to represent them in the union. You can choose colors that compliment your wedding theme and style or go with something simple and traditional as black and white. The sand is stored in individual vases and poured together into a single larger vase to represent the union.

The vases or vessels you chose come in different shapes and sizes. I saw beautiful unity sand ceremony set that had heart shaped vases to hold all of the sand and I knew that would be the set I would want for myself. There were also wavy type shapes of vases that hold the sand. It really all depends on your style and what you are looking for. They can also be etched or engraved with the bride and groom’s names or initials. Having a personalized vase will really make it stand out when you display it in your home in the years to come.

The Tradition of Wedding Garters

Posted on by

Wedding garters are an ancient wedding tradition that many brides and grooms love to celebrate at their wedding reception. The idea behind the wedding garter is that it is believed to be good luck to receive a piece of the wedding attire. In order not to ruin the bride’s dress they started wearing wedding garters.

In some families the wedding garters are passed down and have special sentimental value. A great way not to lose this special keepsake is to have a wedding garter set. The bride can wear two wedding garters, one to keep and one to toss to the eligible bachelors. This way she still has something to keep and cherish and the bachelors still get a piece of something to bring them good luck.

Some brides also use wedding garters as a way to incorporate the tradition of something blue into their attire. This works wonderfully for them especially if blue is not one of the colors they have chosen to display. No one will see the wedding garter and she will still be wearing the blue in keeping with tradition. There are many options to chose from for you special wedding garters. I recommend considering a matching with two garters to have one to keep and one to toss.

Add Small Details And Big Impact With Personalized Napkins

Posted on by

Personalized napkins are one of the easiest ways to add style to your decor. They come in a variety of size and colors. You can even choose the color of ink you would like used to make the imprints on the napkins. With all of these options it is extremely easy to fit every wedding theme imaginable. Napkins are also a cost effective way to add more to any couple’s wedding decor.

Don’t stop at just using personalized napkins just at the reception tables. Think outside of the box. Offer a variety of shapes and sizes of napkins and use them in different locations. You can have table and  lap napkins, cocktail napkins to use for drinks and appetizers, and of course you can use them when you serve your guests the wedding cake.

Surprise your guests by adding personalized napkins in places like the bathrooms for your guests to use to dry their hands. These are much more exciting to see than the standard roll of brown paper towels. They will  be amazed at all of the details you have thought of to make your day memorable. These special little touches are what take a good reception to a fantastic reception.
