Traditionally
spring is associated with the beginning of new life. Flowers
bloom, and the earth awakens from its winter sleep. A beautiful
spring wedding might be outdoors, in a garden, with an abundance
of fresh flowers. Use light, pastel colors in the décor
for a clean, radiant look. Place a bud
vase with a single blossom at each place setting echoing
the flowers in the bridal bouquet. These can be taken home
by the guests as favors. Anything found in nature can be a
good addition to a springtime reception. For place card holders,
use dainty butterflies
or dragonflies. Or really inspire the spirit of spring
and give your guests flower
seeds to plant their own flower gardens. Our custom
designer cookies are a great choice. The spring collection
includes butterfly cookies, daisy cookies and beautiful tulip
cookies.
SUMMER
Summer
weddings should be bright and vibrant, celebrating light.
Keep guests cool by serving lemonade and fresh fruits. Give
hand fans
or parasols as favors, and they will surely appreciate your
thoughtfulness. For a festive look, decorate outdoors with
paper lanterns
in an array of colors. A warm, summery location can be the
inspiration for your theme. Beach weddings are highly popular
in the summer. For a more idyllic atmosphere, create a simple
look with white linens. Invite guests to toss fresh flower
petals instead of confetti. Offer the petals in a natural
sinamay bag.
FALL
The
vivid colors of autumn should definitely play a role in your
fall wedding. Hues of red, yellow, orange and brown echo the
changing leaves, and can be incorporated in the table decorations,
wedding favors, centerpieces, flowers and invitations. As
with any seasonal theme, the key is to use what nature gives
us. Scatter turned leaves and acorns on tables. For candlelight,
carve floral patterns into small pumpkins and place tea lights
inside. Or use a tea light holder with a fall motif, like
the twig votives.
Some fall inspired party favor ideas include handmade
green tea soaps with a beautiful gingko leaf charm, floral
card holders and candy filled flower
topped jars.
WINTER
Winter.
Winter weddings may or may not be tied in to the holidays.
But having a wedding in winter means you can take advantage
of that holiday feeling that is inevitably in the air. Winter
flora can make beautiful accents. Poinsettia, holly, pinecones
can all look great in centerpieces, bouquets, and as trimming.
Or create a white Christmas look with all white flowers, snowflakes,
and a white chocolate cake. Send guests home with a beautiful
ornament for the tree, which will stay with them, along
with the memories year after year. Beautifully decorated snowflake
and Christmas tree cookies also make wonderful parting
gifts for your guests.
