Do Wedding Favors Reflect On The Bride?

By Bart Forcey


Elegant wedding favors are an exquisite way of passing the luck on to your guests according the ancient Roman tradition. Moreover it is a beautiful way to exemplify your gratitude towards your guests.

An example of traditional yet very elegant wedding favors are the five different metallic colored Jordan almonds wrapped in a circle of shining organza and tied together with a thin ivory colored satin ribbon. Tradition has it that the almonds are used to symbolize the bittersweet of married life. Each of the almonds represents one of each of the blessings to the couple, which are long life, happiness, wealth, fertility and health.

Every individual has his or her own idea as to what elegance is. Some of the elegant wedding favors that endured the test of time are silver bottle openers. In reality, any functional gift plated in silver item with your names and wedding date engraved on provides to be an elegant wedding favor.

Silver plated pictures frames and place card holders along with bottle openers, letter openers, coasters and wine stoppers along with stainless steel key chains engraved with details of the wedding will always fall within the more elegant category as compared to many other wedding favors.

Having elegant wedding favors does not necessarily mean you have style or good taste. Especially if the elegant wedding favors you present do not match the style or theme of the wedding and even worse, can not relate to your own personality! Instead, focus on the style of elegance you want to incorporate with your wedding favors instead of opting for the most expensive favor your budget allows that relate to you personally and the style of your wedding.

The variety of elegant wedding favors is endless. Excellent choices apart from silver, gold or chrome plated favors are an elegant metal bookmark representing an item from your theme. You can for instance use a butterfly bookmark with a satin tassel priced at $2,50 each for a garden wedding. Tea candle holders in sets or presented individually are just as elegant and can fit into most themes successfully. A rose scented glass candle, neatly packed in a dainty box, will cost you about $2,50 each and an elegant traditional lace wedding cake candle packed in a clear see through box for more or less the same price.

Whatever elegant wedding favors you choose, it is of utmost importance to order your favors well in advance. This will ensure that those elegant tokens of gratitude towards your guests arrive in time for this momentous day in your lives.
