Summer Wedding Favors and Themes

Summer is here! What a wonderful time to get married. The warm weather provides brides the perfect opportunity for strapless dresses. Pretty shoes that bare painted toes and little flower girls carrying gorgeous bouquets of summer flowers. These are just some of the advantages to having a summer wedding!

You’ve probably planned everything down to the last detail. You’ve booked the reception hall, you’ve sent the wedding invitations, you’ve hired your vendors, selected entertainment, and chose a photographer. What about the wedding favors? Have you selected awesome summer wedding favors to coordinate your summer wedding?

If you’re stumped for ideas for summer wedding favors, don’t worry! We’re here to help. First and foremost consider your summer wedding theme. Everything should coincide with one another. If you’re wearing floral berets and floral jewelry, why not pick a floral motif for your summer wedding favor. Here’s an idea: Why not give everyone a unique corsage, to make everyone feel like part of the wedding party. Corsages can be embossed with a ribbon that contains the name of the bride and groom.

If that summer wedding favor idea is not ‘favorable,’ there are many other options. Pick a theme that corresponds with the summer season. How about ladybugs? You can give each of your guests a chocolate love bug wedding favor. You can also accessorize your hairclips and jewelry to accommodate with your summer wedding theme.

The most important part of a summer wedding is to keep your guests feeling cool and comfortable. This is especially important if your summer wedding is outdoors or if there is no air conditioning available. Personalized drinking glasses and plenty of ice can keep your guests refreshed for hours. While this may seem like an expensive summer wedding favor, it’s perfect for a small wedding. You can have the glasses personalized by a professional that etches glass. If this is a summer wedding favor that seems too expensive, try this wedding favor idea: Place mints into tulle, put tulle into drinking glass and wrap with embossed ribbon that matches your summery wedding colors. Let everyone know that the glasses are their to keep.

An additional summer wedding favor, which is sure to keep your guests cool on the hot day: personalized colas. Each can will come wrapped in a label that bears an image and/or your wedding date. Not only will they enchant your guests, but they’ll come in handy! After all that’s the objective when selecting wedding favors -- for others to make use of them.
