Delightful Favors




Parting gifts are a sweet gesture of thanks to your guests for sharing in your day, but it is even sweeter when they are pretty enough that they contribute to our reception's decoration. Placed in boxes wrapped in a variety of vibrant ribbons, favors can highlight your wedding colour scheme. They can be tagged with a calligraphed monogram or with each guest's name (in which case, they can also serve as place cards). Whether on your dinner tables or arranged on a table all their own, they will add an extra dash of charm to your event.

Winter Weddings

Winter is one of the seasons less asked for by the brides, but not for that reason less appropriate for the celebration of a wedding.

Winter, with respect to other times of the year, has its advantages. The first benefit we find is at the there are many free dates in venues to celebrate the reception, and also the honeymoon trips are much cheaper because of the low season.

Regarding to the flowers, in winter we can find all kind of imported flowers: roses, orchids, lilacs,… with the benefit that they will last longer, and the prices of the bouquets are the same that the rest of the year.

In winter, pure white is the color that identified more with this season. We must avoid taking colors that give a cold sensation, like blue or the mulberry ones and, never use metallic reflections in leaves or complements. In any case, it is possible to admit some of the range of the rose, fucsia or champagne, but others like orange or reddish, would be better for autumn.

The winter bride is usually sophisticated, so original accessorize can be included. Feathers, pearls, glass beads, golden thread of silver or gold. And if the wedding coincides with Christmas, it is possible to use rustic decoration elements like pine cones, fir or, even, to elaborate the bouquet in a range of red colors.
