Twice As Nice: Centerpiece / Wedding Favor Combos

Why buy two things when one will do? This is a question that many brides ask when it comes to planning their wedding reception. One fantastic way to save money on your reception is to plan for wedding centerpieces that can double as favors. Get inspired by these great suggestions.

There are quite a few benefits when you opt for a favor and centerpiece in one. Cutting costs is one of the best reasons to do it. There is also something nice about not throwing things away at the end of the night; it is less extravagant and more eco-friendly. Why spend money buying centerpieces and favors when one ithing can work for both? It just makes sense.

A floral centerpiece does not have to be made in a single vases; many small flowering plants can be arranged en masse for a lovely effect. The flowers will look very pretty when displayed in a group, and at the end of the reception, each guest can take one home. It is something that is equally appropriate for a formal or informal reception. If you are having a chic wedding in an art gallery and wearing a designer gown with custom bridal jewelry, choose a stylish flower such as potted orchids. A neat idea for a modern wedding centerpiece favor is potted succulents. A living plant makes a wonderful memento of your wedding.

Use your interests as inspiration; for instance, if you are foodies, select something delicious for your favors / centerpieces. One of the most popular ideas for combination centerpiece favors are pots of herbs. You can choose the herbs based on their appearance, their flavor, or their symbolism. A great herb for centerpiece favors is rosemary. Maybe you will even be able to use herbs that are essential to your favorite cuisine. If your mother is French, scented lavender would be a lovely choice. Give as much thought to the containers as you do the herbs. Small pots are available in tons of different styles and even shapes.

When attractively displayed, fresh fruit is one of the best centerpieces that can be turned into parting gifts. Miniature woven baskets with fresh peaches would be something special for a Southern summer wedding. Arrange them on risers ranging from high to low for a great effect. Elegant Anjou pears would be a great variation for a winter reception. It would be a terrific look for a rustic barn wedding in the country. A variation is to use tomatoes for a rustic Tuscan inspired reception held al fresco.

Select something sweet that can be displayed as a centerpiece and then taken home for the favors. Beautiful tiered stands covered with petit fours would be charming centerpieces. Let the stand be part of the decoration, so if your taste runs to sparkly crystal bridal jewelry, rent cut crystal stands or if your style is romantic, choose white pierced china stands. As the reception draws to a close, invite guests to fill a bag with candies to take. Slices of boxed cake on pretty towers is a traditional favor that also makes a pretty table decoration. Decorate them with ribbons and you will have a fantastic favor and centerpiece in one. It’s a win-win: your guests will be happy and so will you!
