Depending on when you’re celebrating your big day, you can choose from season themed wedding favors for added charm. The whole point of choosing such wedding favors is so guests can take home something that symbolizes the spirit of the celebrations.

Spring Wedding Favors

The garden is a recurring theme when it comes to selecting spring wedding favors. Garden gift baskets in whimsical butterfly shapes filled with little packets of seed don’t just look pretty, but also blend in perfectly with the spring theme. You can’t go wrong with votive scented candles, flower stems in translucent holders, and scented soaps, all of which make the perfect takeaway gift for spring.

Summer Wedding Favors

Come beach, garden and summer weddings become all the rage. For a beach wedding, choose from charming seashell placeholders, beach ball shaped bottle stoppers, and flip flop key chains. Frosted candles, ice cream scoops packed in their own gift boxes, and scented bath salts are all summer wedding favors that you just can’t go wrong with. Make sure your wedding decor echoes the summer theme.

Fall Wedding Favors

Choosing fall wedding favors will require selecting from a dramatically different color palette. This is the season when moody reds and oranges come into play. Autumn’s iconic symbol, the maple leaf can be called upon to add some drama to your wedding. Choose from leaf shaped cookie cutters in their own pretty gift tins, maple leaf place holders and book marks and coasters. Colorful soap petals encased in their own translucent boxes are another fall idea that’s sure to have your guests talking long after the cake’s history!

Winter Wedding Favors

A winter wedding doesn’t have to be a cold gloomy affair even the dominant mood here is white. Make liberal use of the classiness of white and the innocence of the snowflake to bring out accents in the simplest wedding favors. Snowflake bottle stoppers, coasters and candles are always safe choices for when you’re not sure if your guests will keep the favors as keepsakes or toss them in the trash on their way home!

Whatever the season, make sure to factor in the colors, fragrances and moods of the time while deciding on your wedding favors, and you’ll end up with mementos that’ll please the most hard to please guest.
