Wedding Favors

Wedding Favors! One of my favourite parts of attending wedding receptions. Most Malaysian weddings give slices of fruit cake in cute, sometimes personalised boxes, and there's some that give traditional sweetmeats or candies. I thought I should go different. Give something different that will let people remember my wedding. I grouped it up for convenience's sake.

Best part about these are, I could very well do them on my own at home!

Unique Wedding Favors

For nautical themed weddings maybe? I found it adorable.

Tin pails with mint.

Card holders, also awfully cute.

Everybody loves a good pot-pourri.

Believe it or not, its a pencil sharpener!

Flowers (Arches and Church Pews)

Arches

I am most definitely going to have a church wedding. So for all of you also getting married in a church, or anywhere else that would require decorations like these, here's some I thought were lovely.

Keeping with my theme of blue, white and green, these would go perfect.

 

 

 

And then I came across this one. Now, as much as I want to keep with the theme, you cannot deny how pretty this one looks. The glow on the wall, the tiny dispersed lights and the romantic feeling of the whole thing. I love it, I tell you! =D So once again, exceptions. Ha ha, the theme of this wedding should be Exceptions instead. Oh well.

Church Pews

I doubt I'll have any exceptions for church pews, but we'll see. It was fairly easy to find pictures I liked for this. Mostly green and white but against deep brown church pews, they'd look perfect :)

 

My favourites are the first and third. Even though they've got no flowers on, they look cute enough for me.

I came across this too and I thought it was a nice idea for both the pew and the aisle. The border of petals is a beautiful idea. 

Flowers (Boutonnières aka Corsages)

Alright, then. Corsages. Tiny little accents of flowers on the the wrist or clothing. Adds class to anything you're wearing. For most weddings, it is customary of the groom, his best men and the families of both the bride and groom to wear corsages. Its sort of like a tag that lets people know you're family or part of the shenanigan, so to speak.

A bit of tradition before I start.
The groom's boutonnière could either be a flower that matches the flowers in the bride's bouquet or a flower that holds a special meaning. Example:

• a red rose = true love
• a red chrysanthemum = I love you
• a stephanotis = happiness in marriage ***
• a red camellia = you are a flame in my heart
• an orange blossom = purity, eternal love, marriage

So here we go. Boutonnières or also commonly known as, corsages.

Groom's Boutonnières/Corsage:

So for the groom, I want (he he yes, he'll wear what I want him to wear) something small. Maybe a single flower if its big, or a small bunch if its small enough. Here's some that I think will look nice on him =)

I can't seen to make my mind up about these though. I think I'll let him choose.

  

Best Men Boutonnières/Corsages:

These are nice. I'll let him choose again since it is after all his parade. 

 

Family Boutonnières/Corsages:

Family corsages will have to all be the same. So I'll have to be budget wise a bit. Roses therefore are out of the question. These will do just fine.

 

I like the first and last ones. Albeit totally out of the colour theme, but what the heck. As long as it looks good, eh?
