Wedding Favour Ideas

We thought we would do a series of featured products to give you an idea of what is popular with our brides at the moment and tips and trends that you can follow. We’re starting with our most popular product to date which is the ‘black and white frosted glass tealight holder.’
We are still seeing a huge trend towards black and white weddings and these gorgeous glass tealight holders fit in with that theme beautifullly. Handed out as favours, your guests are sure to love these. Or use them to decorate your wedding reception. Lit up on tables, bars, buffet tables these candles look fabulous. We have had lots of positive feedback about these.
You don’t have to be having a black and white theme to make the most of these fabulous candles. Reds, pinks, yellows and just about any colour will set off these black beauties wonderfully. They really will blend in with any colour scheme.
The packaging is also beautiful, with a black ribbon around the perspex box with an attached gift charm. Who wouldn’t want to receive these as a wedding favour? If you are giving them as favours here are a few ideas for presenting them:
- stack them in pyramids on your guests tables
- present them nestled in baskets placed around the room
- put them on one centre plate in the middle of each table
The price of these wonderful candles is £7.99 which is for a set of 4. This makes them one of the best value wedding favours and in our opinion one of the nicest.

Now that we are into 2009 it is time to look at what the wedding trends will be for the year. ‘The Knot’ has released today the latest trends that are appearing from the US which are often reflected in the UK.

So, here are a few ideas to be ‘on trend’ for your 2009 wedding:

More and more couple are having environmentally friendly weddings. Sourcing local ingredients, buying second hand and making things themselves. There are loads of ideas for ‘green’ weddings at http://www.ethicalweddings.com/

Pastel and bright colours are being replaced by richer, navy, plum, bronze and black.

Cakes are back to a more traditional style. Two-tiered cakes are replacing cupcakes and cookies.

Patterns are being used a lot more. Spotty bridesmaid dresses, gingham table runners and patterned invitations are all making a splash. We are seeing our patterned, unique wedding invitations becoming more and more popular.

Traditional vase centrepieces are being replaced by vintage vessels. Beautiful jugs and teacups are appearing filled with locally sourced flowers.

Couples are being more creative with lighting. Wedding candles are being used to create atmosphere and also as gifts. And creative lighting companies are being brought in to create visual effects.

UK honeymoons are becoming popular. With the current value of the pound couples are choosing to save money and honeymoon in the UK. http://www.forbetterforworse.co.uk/honeymoon.htm have some great ideas.

So, be inspired for 2009 with the current trends but don’t forget to create a day that is unique and special to you.

Until next time,

Kate
