Include Spring or Garden Wedding Favors in the Plans

By Aaron H.

Spring is coming soon. All the plants will be returning to green and animals will be emerging with their newborn young by their sides. Young couples will be thinking of love and marriage. There is just something about the spring season that causes us all to think in these lines. One of the best methods of helping people to remember a spring wedding is to be ready beforehand with spring or garden wedding favors for them to have as thank you gifts from the couple.

Many different items can be given as spring wedding favors. The nature or usefulness of the items is not really critical. The imaginative use of colors and symbols that represent spring is the key to making these items perfect gifts to show the gratitude of the couple to their guests in attendance at a spring wedding. Shimmering sating ribbons tied around cloth bags done in bright colors, wedding cake shaped candles done in Easter pastel colors, and shower gels that are useful in the bath and honor the showers of April that contribute to the growth of new life are some classic examples of spring wedding favors.

The focus of garden wedding favors is more toward flowers and the way their rebirth adds beauty back into the world. Flowering plant seeds that one's guests may plant in their own gardens to have a fresh living reminder of sharing in the happiness of the occasion are often given as garden wedding favors. Other items are often colored and decorated with the shapes of blooms in honor of spring flowers that bring beauty back into the world after the bitterness of winter. Some even give honey pots with wooden dippers to honor the bees who pollinate the flowers and encourage the growth of next years plants.

Spring and garden wedding favors are excellent choices of favors to give the guests when a couple plans to wed in the spring. This is a happy theme that everyone finds pleasant and easy to identify with. Decorations are taken mostly from the examples nature places before us when not made from these examples. Bright colors and flowers can help to cheer people up following a cold, dark winter, especially when associated with a spring wedding.

Spring and garden wedding favors make good keepsakes for the guests to have and cherish far into the future because they are so beautiful and they call up memories of the happy time spent with the bride and groom as they become, officially, a couple and not just two individuals living separately. These are normally small, inexpensive items, but they take on a value beyond price both as gift to show gratitude, and as mementos of the occasion given to the guests.

All couples planning to marry in the spring of the year should prepare with spring or garden wedding favors as part of the decoration and as thank you gifts for their guests. - 15784
