What comes to your mind but the mysterious and the natural when we talk of Asian wedding favors and garden wedding favors. The enchanting traditions of the Far East can really make you get creative trying to either design your own favors or choose one on the internet. The unknown and the hidden is part of the Asian culture. A garden venue is most apt for an Asian wedding theme because you can combine the Nature motif to make your setting look typically Eastern.

Before you choose Asian wedding favors, you must remember that they are very elaborate. Thousands of guests are invited and ceremonies are known to go on for days. Guests come from far and no one is considered a distant relative. This closeness and elaborateness must be kept in mind when you choose Asian wedding favors.

Also, in an Asian wedding setting you must focus on the deep reds, goldens and yellows. If your Asian wedding theme is combined with a garden venue then, nothing like it. It will not only help you make the party mysterious and ritualistic enough beneath the starlight but you can also add motifs from Nature.

Keeping this idea in mind, the first motif that will come to mind is of course candles. No Asian wedding favors or, for that matter, any wedding favors, are more interesting than candles molded in amazing shapes and made in beautiful colors. The perfumed and scented candles are really loved by guests of all ages. Candles and fire also holds a very important place in Eastern traditions.

So, if it’s a candle you intend to go for, pick the ‘Chinese tapestry’ votive candle. These Asian wedding favors come for only $2.02 and with its beautiful tassels and red braid makes the Eastern mood fill the party. If you want to use candles as the garden wedding favors, then there are the ‘Plumeria’ floral scented candles. They even have ceramic candle holders. You can add a little fun to your candles by giving away the pear-shaped candles. ‘Two to tango’ or, ‘Paired for life’ make interesting tags on these candles.

Incidentally, while garden wedding themes use extensively the Nature theme as leaves, flowers and ferns, the Eastern traditions are too full of symbols. So, both Asian wedding favors and garden wedding favors can simply be based on symbols. How about choosing to personalize your favors with the Indian Om, Chinese dragon etc. The ‘Double Happiness’ box that has a rich, red and gold, tapestry like design with its golden bow makes such an interesting favor.

Packaging is also very important. Favors set in the traditional Indian cloth of silk looks very elegant. You can choose brocade purses and boxes, notebooks, bookmarks and key rings set in silk. Or, go for the Chinese fans and chopsticks to take your guests by surprise. Your guests will surely keep your memories locked in their hearts after receiving these interesting wedding favors.

The Asians also emphasize on the color green. Naturally, a symbol of fertility, the color can make any wedding favor look beautiful. If you want to stick to the garden wedding favor genre, choose packets of seeds or, an assortment of chocolates cut in leaf designs. Miniature water cans, flower place card holders and ‘blooming flower’ bottle stoppers make for ideal garden wedding favors. With these favors, your guests will only be going ‘green’ with love and not envy.

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.

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.

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.
