Fantastic Wedding Favors!

This lens will introduce you to some of my favorite wedding favors, including confetti flowers from Italy, and give you tips on how to make them yourself. Also included are the fantastic wedding favors, very eco-friendly, that we used at our daughter's wedding in April.

Wedding Favors - How Did It All Get Started? 

In many societies the marriage of a man and woman was considered good luck, and that everything they touched would be blessed. By giving small gifts to their wedding guests, those same blessings would be passed on.

Many brides chose to share this good luck by preparing a small gift of almonds, beautifully wrapped in a box or elegant fabric. The gift of five almonds was said to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness.

In the thirteenth century the practice of coating almonds in sugar became popular, and were called "confetti". Over time, confetti has transformed into Jordan almonds, now one of the most common and traditional wedding favors. The combination of almonds and candy signify the bitter sweetness of married life.

Sunflower Seed Favors 

Flower wedding favors

After Danielle and Chris got married in April, this exhausted mother of the bride was thinking more about soaking my feet in a tub of hot water than soaking our sunflower seeds in the ground. It's called priorities and mine had all been met. Mission accomplished. I had ordered the favors from Forever and Always, selected 100 at $1.25 a piece, plus $15.00 for personalization and $9.90 for shipping. We found a large basket, looped one-inch ivory satin ribbon around the handle and made two large bows at each end. We stuffed the bottom with white tissue paper, so the sunflower seed packets would sit up nice and high. Everyone loved them, and one or two of my good friends went straight home and put them in the ground that same day. Three months after the wedding, they are still a sunny reminder of a bright future for Chris and Danielle.

A Sunny Reminder...

Italian Confetti Flowers 

Wedding Confetti Centerpieces from Confetti Pelino

The only thing sweeter than my Italian husband. Confetti flower wedding favors imported from Italy. Still made by hand, these sugar-coated candies have been lovingly formed into delicate flowers by the Pelino family for over 300 years. You can choose from daisies, roses, calla lilies, magnolias, petunias, and sunflowers and they are amazingly affordable, from about $2.75 to $7.50 each. They will add a lovely bigliettino (favor tag) tied on with ribbon at your request. Shipping takes 4 to 6 weeks.

Flip Flop Favors 

Beach Theme Wedding Favors

"The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." --Jacques Cousteau

Where I live at the beach, rollerbladers, live music, street performers, and outdoor cafes complete the park-like atmosphere that goes on for 35 miles. Beach themed weddings are an everyday thing. But Kansas City brides and Boston brides are also choosing island and ocean themes for their weddings as well.

These beach favors can be found on any number of wedding favor websites. As always, prices will be better if purchased in large quantities. Combine your order with a friend, or consider ordering favors that can also be used for beach themed birthday parties.

Some suggestions:

1. Flip-Flop Luggage Tags
2. Seashell Bookmark with Ivory Silk Tassel
3. Palm Trees Soap Favors
4. Potpourri & Seashell Beach Sachet Favor
5. Nautical Mint Tin
