Spring Wedding Favor Ideas

Spring is the perfect time to begin to plan weddings. The ground has thawed, and new signs of life are everywhere. Refreshing fragrances, colors and textures are all around us! Spring is one of the easiest times to plan a wedding, and is the perfect time to plan our spring wedding favor ideas for our wedding theme.

A great color theme to go with would be pastel greens, beige, tan and earthy colors, therefore some popular ideas for spring wedding favors include seed favors, egg themed favors, flowers and edible items. If your wedding takes place closer to Easter you can amalgamate an Easter theme with your spring wedding and hide your chocolate wedding favors at the reception. Seeds can be purchased from any garden store and can be place in favor boxes a lot with peat pucks and wrapped in tulle. Flower bulbs or could also be used as a unique spring wedding favor idea by placing in favor bags and labeling with each guests name for the reception. Baby’s breath and dwarf evening primrose are excellent flower choices, while daffodils and daisies are a decorating staple for the spring wedding. Miniature bonsai trees, while somewhat costly, can prove to be excellent wrapped favor ideas for spring weddings. Flower topped favor bubbles can help promote the spring wedding theme idea. Simply use the flower of choice to decorate your bottle caps. This will really accentuate the spring wedding them especially if flower petals are used in the ceremony.

Spring often brings on the first signs of the picnic, and allows you to use this theme for your spring wedding favors. Remember enjoying glorious picnic baskets at a lush beautiful spot? Why not create or purchase mini picnic baskets for your reception guests filled with edible favors such as candies, chocolates or dried fruit assortments? These baskets are beautiful and stylish wedding favor ideas.

Many a bride and groom have a difficult time creating unique ideas for their spring wedding. By thinking creatively and ‘outside the box’, you can create stylish spring wedding favor ideas that accentuate your theme, reflect your style, and say ‘thank you’ to the guests who helped you celebrate your most special day.

Daisy’s Dreams $20.99 “Daisy Hunter and Abigail Browning are two best friends who have enjoyed the everyday challenges and delights of living in rural Fairfield, New Hampshire. But in the spring of 1856, they feel as though all things familiar are crumbling beneath them. Throughout the coming year, many incidents will try their faith and threaten to hamper their joy. Together, they must continually rediscover their sustenance and hope, all the while resisting the temptation to surrender to defeat. Interwoven within the two girls’ lives are a cast of characters as varied as the New England seasons. Excitement mounts for the entire town when a new minister joins the close-knit community, while intrigue is piqued when a mysterious, colorful woman appears carrying untold secrets from the past. With autumn comes the abundance of apple harvest, while winter’s burden bears heavy on many. Will Abby’s and Daisy’s faith be strengthened, or will it simply crumble amidst the challenges? Will they finally be able to declare with certainty that they have delighted in the Lord and obtained their hearts’ desires?”

Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man $12.48 In Fannie Flagg’s high-spirited first novel, we meet Daisy Fay Harper in the spring of 1952, where she’s “not doing much except sitting around waiting for the sixth grade.” When she leaves Shell Beach, Mississippi, in September 1959, she is packed up and ready for the Miss America Pageant, vowing “I won’t come back until I’m somebody.” But in our hearts she already is.Sassy and irreverent from the get-go, Daisy Fay takes us on a rollicking journey through her formative years on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as “sincerity is as valuable as radium”), and Daisy Fay’s Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction.
