Asian and Garden Wedding Favors - Elegant Wedding Theme

By Aaron H.

Couples planning to get married share a common goal of having some sort of small, inexpensive gifts to give to their guests as keepsakes to remind them of the occasion and the happiness shared with the bride and the groom as well as to be "Thank you' gifts for the guests. Wedding favors were created to fill this need. Favors have become a common part of parties of all types, wedding parties were a logical step. Couples who choose to marry outdoors now have several options from which to choose when buying favors depending on the wedding theme. Two wonderful lines that work with outdoor weddings are Asian and garden wedding favors.

An Asian theme is used for many outdoor ceremonies. This theme has a very romantic feeling associated with it that is perfect for celebrating marriage. Paper lanterns, candles and incense, and even Chinese writing are incredibly beautiful oriental items couples may use as decorations.

Asian wedding favors may be oriental silk or paper fans, fortune cookies, or any of a wide selection of items making use of the Chinese glyph meaning "Love" or two intertwined glyphs for happiness which means "double happiness". At celebrations having an oriental or Asian theme to them, these are the perfect items to give as gifts and keepsakes to remind the guests of the occasion and say "Thank you" in a much clearer voice than sending out "Thank you" cards later.

A garden theme is also commonly used at outdoor celebrations of marriage. This particular theme gains its beauty from the number of flowers or flowering plants that people use as decorations. There are always several different varieties and colors of flowers blooming from early in spring to late in fall, which makes locating an appropriate seasonal mix fairly simple.

The blooms of different flowers are used as the basis for most garden wedding favors. While flowers are used as the decorations, the variety of items that can be given out as "Thank you" gifts to the guests is nearly without end. Adding flowers can make almost anything more beautiful. One very popular item having a garden theme is a packet of seeds from various flowering plants for the guests to add to their own flower gardens to create a living reminder of the joy shared with the couple on this special occasion each year when the flowers bloom again.

Outside weddings are fairly common occurrences whenever the weather will permit. This is because the best decorations for celebrating something as wonderful as two people getting married are produced by nature and look their best outside in full sunlight. Different themes may be used for and outdoor ceremony and reception, including an Asian theme and a garden theme. Asian wedding favors and Garden wedding favors are two very different, yet very beautiful, types of reminders that people enjoy receiving as keepsakes to remember the occasion by. - 15784
