Get Ready with Spring or Garden Wedding Favors

By Aaron H.

Spring is coming very soon. Very shortly plants will be greening up, animals will be birthing their young for this year, and young couples will be thinking about romance and marriage. It seems that the very atmosphere of spring causes us all to think along these lines. One excellent way to mark a spring wedding in the guests' memories is to include some spring or garden wedding favors to be given as thank you gift to the guests when making the plans.

Spring wedding favors come in many different types and forms. What the items are is not overly important. What is important is the way these items symbolize the season with their many different colors and shapes. This is what makes them so perfect for giving to one's guests to thank them for coming to a spring wedding. Brightly colored cloth bags with satin ribbons, pastel colored candles in the shape of a wedding cake, or shower gels for use in the bath that honor the spring rains and the way they nurture new growth to maturity are some good examples of spring wedding favors.

Garden wedding favors focus more on the rebirth of flowers and things of beauty in the world of plants. Some can be seeds for the guests to add to their own flower gardens to have a perennial, living reminder of the happiness shared with the couple during and following their ceremony. Others may be decorated with blooms of different shapes and bright colors to honor the flowers that begin blooming in spring to add beauty to this world following the cold barrenness of winter. One might even consider giving a honey pot with a natural wooden dipper in honor of the bees that work so hard to pollinate the flowers and ensure they will be back next year.

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 will be keepsakes that the guests will keep and cherish for many years to come because of their inherent beauty and the way they call to mind happy memories of sharing in the joy of the bride and groom as they start out in their new life together as a couple rather than two separate individuals. These items are small and do not cost a great deal, but their meaning gives them value beyond words, both as thank your gifts and as keepsakes and reminders of the occasion.

It is a very good idea for all couples planning to get married in spring to include spring or garden wedding favors in their plans as decorations and to thank their guests. - 15437
