Step Away from the Sugared Almonds!!!

As a wedding planner one of my bug bears has always been that we brits seem to be so far behind the American wedding market in terms of giving our guests Unique Wedding Favors. We are in the main still stuck in the rut of giving out five sugared almonds – which yes, I know are traditional – or chocolate hearts, or those dragees which come in an array of colours.

But honestly, when you go to a wedding, how nice would it be to walk away with a little gift that you would go home, put on your mantle piece, or in your kitchen and which would raise a smile every time you saw it as the memory of that happy occasion goes through your mind?

Or, if it is an edible or drinkable Wedding Favor, how about something a little different and more inspiring than sugared almonds?

To give you some inspiration, we have come across this wonderful website packed full of wedding favors that even has a specific unique wedding favors category – so you don’t have to do much work to come up with some inspiration ideas – they do it for you!

There are an array of ideas and just one of our personal favourites is this gorgeous “Scoop of Love” heart shaped ice-cream scoop! Not only is it cute but it is also useful and comes beautifully presented in a bow tied box!

Another favourite are these pretty Love Crystal Paperweights which look beautiful.

If you want a little bit of fun – then these Bride & Groom Loo rolls would make sure your wedding is remembered for years to come!

So come ‘on girls – when you are considering which wedding favors to give your guests – be a little creative and give them unique wedding favours – step back from the Sugared Almonds!
