Wedding Centerpieces That Double As Favors

Wedding guests appreciate receiving wedding centerpieces that double as favors because centerpieces help them to remember the events of the wedding.  Every couple enjoys providing their guests with rewarding experiences during the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception, almost as much as they enjoy their own memorable moments.  The idea of presenting their wedding guests with a beautiful wedding, then giving them a token to take home with them, is what every couple strives for.  The bride and groom want their guests to enjoy the fun festivities and receive useful or beautiful gifts.

Clay receptacles filled with a variety of herbs and flowers serve to create a special event.

An outdoor wedding has its own special charm that appeals to many engaged couples.  A beautiful wedding on a cool, summer afternoon in a picturesque setting, is a moment that the couple and guests remember. Picnic tables with wedding centerpieces that include fragrant herbs and colorful flowers add more festivities to wedding receptions, and these wedding centerpieces are very affordable and can easily double as guest favors.

The contents of these wedding favors can vary.  A couple can fill some of the receptacles with edible chamomile flowers surrounded by strawberries or parsley surrounded by yellow grape tomatoes.  The only requirement needed to make the favors look appealing is creativity because the choices are virtually limitless.

Buy bulk clay pottery and create original favors for wedding guests.

You can purchase different types of clay pottery pieces in bulk to save money.  Couples who want to save money can buy pottery in bulk from online merchants, then paint the pieces in decorative and intricate patterns, brimming with colors and various shapes.  This ensures that each favor is unique and special.  Craft stores carry acrylic paints and paint brushes that are ideal for this purpose.  This can be a fun project that the bride and groom or the brides and her bridesmaids can do together.  You can even make a wedding centerpiece favor for each particular person by creating an unique gift designed to please the personality of each specific guest.

Make pottery gifts look more attractive with the use of ribbons and thrifty items.

Double face satin ribbon is a durable product on which the bride and groom can imprint their names, date and location of the wedding ceremony and reception.  This type of ribbon creates a favorable impression at an outdoor wedding.  You can also use burlap fabric, and cross stitch the wedding information and type of herb or flower in the container.  It’s a cute way to add country flair to a wedding.

Once you have your centerpieces created, scour thrift stores for fun little knick knacks to compliment you pottery.  This is a great way to create unique centerpieces for each table, while sticking to a tight budget.  Plus, the daily hunt for fun knick knacks at Goodwill or other thrift stores can become a fun part of your day and a memorable wedding activity.

Everyone loves a festive wedding, especially if the wedding ceremonies involve their best friends or close relatives.  The idea of creating innovative wedding centerpieces that double as guest favors is a considerate, fun, and affordable way to ensure that your guests walk away with a useful, beautiful wedding favor that was fun and memorable to create.
