Planning a wedding is a stressful time of a woman's life. Every decision is scrutinized, not only by the bride, but by her mother, her bridesmaids, her friends and her guests. Fortunately, some decisions can be made easier with a theme or by borrowing from the season for ideas for wedding favours and centrepieces. Using seasonal wedding favours is a classy way to make your wedding unique and special. You can even tie in your wedding theme.
Spring Wedding Favours
When you think of spring, what are some of the first things you think of? Snow melting away? Blooming flowers? Bright-coloured butterflies? Bumble bees? These are all things you can consider incorporating into your seasonal favours. If you have a theme, such as a spring theme, a flower theme or a colour theme, that can make it easier. Some favours you might consider using include:
• Jars of honey
• Stylized butterfly picture holders
• Scented soap (roses, cherry blossoms, etc)
• Personalized mint tins with spring theme
• Sandalwood fan (especially nice if having an outdoor wedding)
• Scented candles (honey, lilac, etc)
Summer Wedding Favours
Maybe every summer for the last 20 years, you've holidayed at the beach and you're continuing the tradition by honeymooning there. You could incorporate a sea-theme into your wedding, including your favours. Some other things to consider is whether it will be indoors or outdoors and the comfort of your guest. For outdoor weddings personalized water bottles might be the perfect favour. Indoors or outdoors, consider:
• Seashell soaps
• Starfish bookmarks or magnets
• Flip-flops photo frames
• Tea light candles, shaped into your favourite flower
• Paper fan
• Mini lantern candle holders
Autumn Wedding Favours
For many, autumn means trees adorned with beautiful-coloured red, yellow, brown and orange leaves. Autumn weddings can be beautiful and memorable, with colourful photos you'll cherish for years. Some autumn-themed favours include:
• Glass coasters with frosted leaves
• Bronze leaf key chains (with your names)
• Pear soaps
• Mint tins with leaves or common fall fruits
• Acorn candles
• Leaf-shaped chocolates
• Sugar cookies cut into fall shapes

If your wedding is in winter, you may have a theme that has to do with snow, Christmas, snowflakes, a winter wonderland. Some favours that could compliment your theme include:
• Snowmen candles
