Festive Wedding Favours

Festive Wedding Favours - By Ann Cronin

Christmas weddings offer extra creative license when it comes to selecting seasonally appropriate wedding favours, and we’ve compiled our recommendations for adding some extra festive flair to big day.

Christmas Crackers

Having your guests split Christmas crackers containing seating plans, the running order or wedding programs is a great extra festive addition or quirk to the day. Alternatively you could fill them with sprigs of mistletoe or holly, sweets and a small gift to remember the day by.

Seasonal Sweets

Candy canes, gingerbread men, mince pies; the list of Christmas time sweet treats is endless. Whether you wish to pack each of your guests a goodie bag full of festive treats, have them served as nibbles throughout your big day or have a candy cart present for all of your guests to graze away at.

Personalised Baubles

Having each of your guests take home a bauble which is personalised is a way of ensuring everyone remembers your big day and has a keepsake that can hang proudly on their tree yearly. Alternatively, you could gift your bridal party with personalised high-end glass baubles, or have a Christmas tree at your reception hosting baubles for each guests seating place.

Festive Fragrances

Giving your guests a parting present that encapsulates the winter scent is sure to go down a hit. Whether it’s a cinnamon or ginger scented candle or a nature-based potpourri pack, ensure your guests take the seasonal scent of your winter wedding home with them with this parting present.

Kids' Corner

Set up your kids table with festive fun such as themed colouring sheets, cookie decorating, Christmas card making or even appoint them with the task of writing to Santa telling him all about your big day. Send them each home with a goodie-bag of sweet treats or a personalised keepsake from your special day.

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024
Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.  If you’re considering breaking away from the traditional matching bridesmaid dresses, here are some tips on how to do it:
