We went to a wedding the other week which was so personal to the couple it really reflected their personalities. They are incredibly funny and the whole day was side splitting including the bride walking down the aisle to Star Wars Death march (incase you don’t know what that sounds like click here) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8 and the tables being named after dead pets!! OK, it’s not to everyone’s liking but what it did show is how important it is to make your wedding about you. It got me thinking about what personal touches Chris and I could do to make our wedding day memorable. Chris is a real whiskey fan and so we’re going to give all the male guests mini bottles of Laphroaig single malt whiskey as wedding favours. They are so cute and come in a little presentation case. For the ladies I’m going to give them little crystal perfume bottles from Lavenders of London which I found at the National Wedding Show www.lavendersoflondon.com/Wedding_Accessories/Favour_ideas/
I absolutely love hot food, the more chilli’s the better, so I’ve found miniature Tabasco bottles that you can have a personalised message on printed on. I’m going have our names and the date of our wedding added and tie them to each napkin with a red ribbon as something for people to remember the day by. I’ve also decided to have chilli’s placed amongst the flowers in my bouquet and in the flowers at the reception which I think will look really great and be totally personal to me.
It’s definitely the little quirky things that I remember from other peoples weddings and I hope that what we’re doing will make people smile.
Let me know if you’re doing anything that you haven’t seen before or if you’ve been to a wedding that had a really great point of difference.

Hi Lucy
ReplyDeleteYou should take a look at this months wedding magazine if you haven't seen it already - they have bouquets and table centrepieces with chilli's in them just like your theme!
I am struggling to decide on favours for my guests I want something unique and quirky but me and my h2b cant quite decide on a theme - there is so much choice out there that we don’t really know where to start
I totally agree with Luce; the more you can personalise your wedding the better and favours are a great way to do it. Compared to all the other costs, favours can be done cheaply and simply just with a bit of imagination! I am getting married in May and we really wanted to have fish and chips as our main meal - keeping it simple and tasty. For various reasons, our caterers are unable to provide this option. Rather than get down-hearted that we wouldn't be able to have our first option we have decided to have white chocolate fish and chip sweets that we both used to love as children as our favours. This also fits in really well with our retro theme. I am really looking forward to getting a bit "crafty" and putting them together myself. So excited now as it's long away!!!!

I'll run out and buy Brides Mag now as would be good to have something to show my florist so she doesn't think I'm a bit mad!
ReplyDeleteWe're having pic and mix as our favours and sealing the bags with stickers with our names and date of the wedding on them.
