Wedding Favors: Elegance Defined


If your wedding is growing near and you are searching for favors to give to your guests which are as elegant and dignified as your nuptials and reception - you may or may not find what you are searching for. While it is not that the search results are flawed, it is simply because the term elegant and elegance is hard to define; different people have different concepts of what is elegant and what is not. The best practice is to search for terms specific for what you are searching for as the term "elegant favors" will bring you more general ideas.

Elegant as defined, is something that is gracefully refined, luxurious or dignified and of high grade or quality. Based on this definition truly elegant favors will be on the higher end in cost, style and design. Essential components include simplicity and consistency in design focusing on the essential features of the product while showcasing it within beautiful packaging. Don't be fooled, there simply are no cheap ninety-nine cent elegant wedding favors - favors of this class and quality will cost several dollars - if not into the double digit range per piece.

If you are looking for some ideas which will fit into this category of favors and gifts here are a few for you to ponder:

    Truffles or Chocolates from an exclusive chocolatier. Some chocolatier's will custom make chocolates for you to suit your palette, colors and desires. High end gift packaging completes the look

    Espresso Sets, Tea Sets or Cordial Glasses many upper class entertain either for afternoon tea or after dinner with drinks. Larger gift sets of six or more glasses will offer them something they can take home and put to use.

    Fine Crystal Gifts exquisite 24% genuine leaded crystal items such as snowflake ornaments for a winter wedding, crystal candle holders for a black tie event or crystal flowers for a spring event will provide a unique and displayable keepsake for their homes.

    Larger Photo Frames picture frames that hold 4 x 6, 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 photos in finishes such as silver or with crystals is a grand way to thank your guests. Your guests are more likely to display a larger photo frame in their home versus a smaller wallet sized photo frame which is most often given as wedding favors.

    Candy Dishes or Hostess Dishes purchase items that your guests may not normally have in their homes such as candy dishes, decorative cheese boards, olive trays, appetizer platters. Unique salad tongs, pasta servers and cake serving sets would also be considered a generous thank you gift.

With a little imagination and knowing exactly what you would like to give, you will find a range of home items and fine goods that will be readily be welcomed by your guests. When selecting an elegant favor for your event, use this rule to go by: "Give what you would like to receive".
