Wedding Favors

I've been stuck on an idea for wedding favors. Often, wedding favors are impractical and get left behind by guests. My fiance and I agree we'd like favors that are useful or that our guests will be able to enjoy.

I finally found a great idea that both my fiance and I love and I think our guests will love too - personalized pints of apple cider as wedding favors!

My fiance and I love fall, and one of our favorite things about this time of year is fresh apple cider. It's delicious both cold and hot! What better way to share this with our guests than to give out cider as our favors?

We can make our own labels to personalize them. I've already talked to a local farm market about ordering them for the wedding.

Not only will our guests enjoy them, this fits perfectly with our rustic, fall wedding!

Rustic Decor

Now that I've decided on a theme and centerpieces, I've been full of ideas for the reception decor. Our reception venue isn't very rustic, so I'd like to bring in some decor that will accentuate the look and feel of rustic elegance.

I fell in love with the idea of using twine and clothes pins to hang photos or escort cards (or perhaps both!)

We can print our programs on natural paper and use plum ribbon to tie them together and bring in the color of the bridesmaids dresses:

These circular slabs of wood create a very natural feel

I like the idea of using wooden frames for tables numbers or using a few wooden frames for photos on the escort card table.

I'm excited to incorporate these different ideas!
