Weddings are supposed to be a personal reflection of the bride and groom, which is why it is important that all the little details, such as wedding favors, table centers and place settings are just right.
Coordinating all of these things with the style and /or theme of your wedding is very important if you are to achieve a unified look and one which won't leave your guests wondering about exactly whose wedding they are attending. Take your wedding favors for instance, the favors themselves should coordinate with the wedding either in style or in theme, i.e. a garden wedding would have flower seeds, flower shaped candles or flower shaped cookies.
Then there is also the packaging for your favors, which needs to coordinate fully as well. It is possible to get hold of boxes or voile bags in a range of popular wedding colors - lilac, pink, blue etc. But if you cannot find your color then white, ivory or cream are widely available and will coordinate with just about any wedding color scheme.
In addition to the packaging you need to think about decorations, ribbons and tags, all of which careful consideration to ensure they match. Ribbons are available in a rainbow of colors and so shouldn't be a difficult choice, try to find tags which match the shape of your box, for a neat look or look for tags which are shaped and which match your wedding. For instance, a garden wedding could have flower shaped tags, a winter wedding could have snowflakes and a spring wedding could have butterflies. Other decorations include paper or silk flowers, stick on gems, stickers, and buttons and much more, check out your local craft store or go online to get some idea of what's available.
Aside from your wedding favors you will need to think about how your table centers will look. Will you choose floral arrangements or perhaps a contemporary arrangement of candles? Try to use the same embellishments/ribbons/decorations etc that you have used on your favors with in your table centers and other details. For instance, tying ribbon around vases, adding paper or fabric butterflies and using the same color card or paper.
Your table settings will also need careful consideration. Think about adding charger plates which are commonly found in silver or gold, but colored and transparent versions are also hitting the market more recently. Think about your china, crockery, glassware and cutlery. If you don't like what is on offer at your venue or through your caterers then look to hire it in from elsewhere.
Coordinate your table linens with your wedding colors and think about how you will display your name cards. Will you choose small frames or pretty holders? Both of which are available through wedding favor stores. They are inexpensive and can make a big difference to the look of your tables. Once your table settings are complete consider how you will present your favors. Will you add them to the tables, perhaps using them in place of name cards or will you ask your flower girl or page boy to hand them out later on?
Whilst wedding favors will make up about fifty percent of your finishing touches it is important not to forget to coordinate everything with your wedding theme or style. This rule applies to wedding stationery through to your bridal bouquet. By coordinating everything within your wedding scheme you will achieve a stunning wedding style and one which you guests will marvel at all day long!
