Garden & Asian Wedding Favors for Your Special Occasion

By Aaron H.

Wedding favors, though not required, are a traditional part of any wedding party. Couples give out wedding favors as a special "Thank you" gift for their guests who came and made their wedding day a happy occasion and the most special day of their lives. When couples choose to hold an outdoor wedding, they often want to add a touch of the exotic or allow Mother Nature to shine through with the decorations and wedding favors they choose. Asian wedding favors and Garden wedding favors are two varieties of favors that help make this happen.

The mystery of the orient has always intrigued people Books have been written and movies made, but there is still that romantic mystery. An oriental themed wedding will give the hint of mystery while being one of the most beautiful the guests ever attend. The decorations and glyphs from Asia help create a very romantic and exotic atmosphere.

Giving Asian wedding favors allows couples to send a small piece of this mystery home with their guests so that they can remember the beauty of the scene and the happiness shared at such a wedding. Weddings and wedding receptions having an oriental theme are often held outside. Oriental paper lanterns are often part of the decoration for an outdoor wedding and reception with an Asian theme. These lanterns cast a very romantic light that adds to this exotic atmosphere. One complementary type of Asian wedding favor that would go well with such decoration is silk fans. Other items are available with the Chinese glyph for love or two glyphs meaning happiness intertwined to mean double happiness. These also make beautiful Asian wedding favors.

If the wedding simply has more of an outdoors or garden theme to it, garden wedding favors would be appropriate. Garden wedding favors can be many different things from favor boxes with flowers decorating them to seeds that will produce a mix of flowering plants that the guests can add to their own flower gardens. Garden wedding favors tend to be items that depict the beauty of nature and the joy of blending different things to create one, much as the couple are blending their individual lives to create one life together. This facet of garden wedding favors makes them incredibly romantic.

Giving wedding favors is a traditional part of most weddings today. Oriental or garden themes are often chosen for outdoor weddings and receptions. Wedding favors that match the theme of the wedding decorations become valued "Thank you" gifts for the guests to keep as mementos of this special occasion for many years. Asian wedding favors add a touch of Oriental mystery to a wedding while garden wedding favors show the mysteries of nature. Either type of favor makes a keepsake that guests will cherish for a long time. - 15784
