Wedding favors history
|
Wedding favors are given to
each guest as a thank you for celebrating the happy occasion with the
newlyweds. Make sure to wrap the wedding
favors with a favor bag or
tulle and fix a
personalized ribbon with
the wedding date and name of the couple. Here is a list of some popular wedding favors • Personalized mug favors • Champagne glass favors • Vase favors • Shot glass favors • Candle favors • Photo frame favors • Almonds in a basket favors • Wine bottle stopper favors • Wedding bell favors • Soap favors • Mints tin favors In the Elizabethan era men and women decorated their bridal finery with brightly colored ribbons called favors. For a royal wedding the ribbons were silver and gold. For everyone else the ribbons were blue and white. These ribbons signified the strength of a wedding union. This tradition dates back to when brides and grooms were literally tired together at the waist as part of the wedding ceremony. During 16th century (Elizabethan times) brides were tying love knots and favors all over their gowns. You can incorporate part of this wedding tradition by using ribbons to personalize your wedding favors with the name of the couple and the wedding date. By Nicole Mazzeo Wrapwithus wedding favors |
