Stay Exotic With Asian Wedding Favors

Stay Exotic With Asian Wedding Favors

Asian wedding favors and garden wedding favors combine the evening setting with the mysterious and the exotic in a creative way. If you consider the hidden and romantic ideas of the Far East, you will have a million choices in ideas and combinations for choosing a wedding favor. Holding a wedding beneath the open sky in a garden setting and combining it with Asian ideas is a unique concept.

The unknown draws even strangers closer. No one is a guest at Asian weddings. Everyone is considered family. The rituals too, go on for several days. Sometimes over a thousand guests can be invited to an Asian wedding. You need to get this elaborate in your ideas when choosing Asian wedding favors.

Asian wedding colors are more in the red, golden and yellow spectrum. You must choose your wedding favors accordingly to match with the Asian wedding theme. If the venue is an open setting, you can add the garden motifs too.

Before you even think of any showpieces or keepsakes, when it comes to Asian wedding favors, candles are the first thing that comes to mind. Candle-light dinners beneath a star-spangled sky in a lush garden is romantic beyond words. Choosing a candle as a wedding favor is never a mistake.

Go ahead then, pick a ‘Chinese tapestry’ votive candle. It comes with a price tag of only $2.02, is deep red in color further emphasized by the red braid leading to two big, golden tassels. You just cannot pass over this Asian wedding favor. Candles as garden wedding favors are apt too. Miniature green candles or, the ‘Plumeria’ floral scented candles come with a variety of stands and holders. Some of these can be used as place card holders as well.

But speaking of Eastern traditions, you cannot miss the Om, the dragon, the circle of yin and yang plus a range of symbols. For the garden setting, the symbols of Nature are enchanting too. You can get creative and combine both these ideas and pick the ‘Double Happiness’ box. A tapestry and metallic-gold bow will leave your guests spellbound.

Before your guests feel your love, let them feel the typical Easter silk as used in brocade purses and boxes, notebooks, bookmarks and key rings. Hand over silk fans and chopsticks and watch your guests marvel at your choice. These wedding favors will not only serve as keepsakes but will become talking points of conversation for years to come.

One other color, symbolizing fertility, and used extensively both in Nature and Eastern traditions is the color green. Your gift of gratitude to your guests can be packets of seeds, chocolates wrapped in environment friendly paper with a ‘go green’ message, purses with autumn leaves, flower’ bottle stoppers, miniature water cans etc. Most of these items can also be used as place card holders. Don’t hold back from choosing these favors even if you have to let go of your purse strings. Anything goes for people you love.

Ideas For Themes: Frangipani Wedding Invitations

Frangipani flowers, sometimes known as Plumeria, are elegant, beautiful and a colorful addition to any wedding ceremony, reception or luncheon. The color variations with the Frangipani flowers make them ideal in all types of themed weddings from the very formal, traditional white weddings through the casual summer garden and backyard weddings. These popular and very hardy flowers are easy to design with plus they add a touch of romance or color to the front of Frangipani wedding invitations to set the tone.

Plumeria come in a wide range of colors so are very easy to integrate into any theme or style of wedding. White and pale yellow flowers can be used in traditional weddings and they are absolutely gorgeous in candlelight. This romantic theme can even be carried out on the Frangipani wedding invitations with a pale colored yellow or white cluster of flowers featured both on the front of the invitation as well as one the inside. Dramatic black font in a traditional or calligraphy style will draw attention to the invitation and make a one of a kind presentation. Black can also be used to highlight the background where the flowers are located on the card, or they can form a stylized or embossed border around the card.

The Frangipani flower is actually used to make leis in Hawaii and it can also be incorporated into wreaths, garlands and other types of decorations on the head table, guest’s tables and during the ceremony. If you are planning a Hawaiian or garden party for the reception, adding Frangipani flowers is a must, plus they can be used on the wedding invitation to add that perfect additional touch. For these invitations a central Frangipani design on the invitation can’t help but stir up visions of a tropical wedding complete with this popular flower.

Unlike many types of invitations, Frangipani wedding invitations are not too feminine or flowery to be seen as a couple’s invitation. Perhaps because the flowers are so vibrant and festive, they avoid appearing too much like the bride picked the invitations without consulting the groom. As with any type of wedding invitation it is important to consider how to incorporate the theme of the card with the rest of the wedding party, and the Plumeria flower definitely lends itself to this. Grooms and groomsmen’s boutonnieres as well as the arrangements carried by the bride, bridesmaids and even the parents of the groom and bride can all tie in with the Frangipani flowers on the wedding invitations. They can also blend in with other more traditional wedding floral choices so you don’t have to worry about staying exclusively with the specific species of flower.

Selecting the style of the invitation also includes the actual shape of the invitation. Longer rectangular shaped cards are becoming more popular and allow you to highlight the visual aspect of the card. Square Frangipani cards are more traditional, however it is really a choice of the bride and groom which shape fits their style.

Don’t forget that along with the theme of Frangipani on the wedding invitations the same theme can be used in place cards, RSVP cards, envelops, wedding announcements and thank you cards. If you do want to have this full range of options for all the stationary you will need for your wedding, be sure to check in with your supplier to ensure these options are provided. Typically those stationary companies providing wedding stationary will be able to work with you on pricing of each item if you buy all the stationary at one time, rather than just buying a bit at a time. Talk with the representative and try out different options to get the best possible price for the cards and style that you want.
